LOUIS
L'AMOUR
Our foremost storyteller of the authentic West, L'Amour has thrilled a nation by bringing to vivid life the brave men and women who settled the American frontier. There are now over 140 million copies of his books in print around the world.

SON OF
A WANTED MAN
Ben Curry knew it was a clog eat dog country and if you survived you had to have big teeth. From a secret fortress in the wild, broken canyon country his men rode hard and smart as far as Canada and Mexico, from San Antone to Los Angeles to pull jobs that made the James gang look like pikers. Curry's son, Mike, was raised to roam free. While he learned all the deadly skills of the lawless breed he had yet to break the law. Now it is time for Curry to retire and he has called in his untested son to take over his reins of control. Caught between jealous gang members, his growing love for an innocent girl, and the relentless pursuit of two lawmen - Tyrel Sackett and Borden Chantry - Mike Bastian, son of a wanted man, must decide whether to follow the road to hell down his father's outlaw trail.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
