About this audiobook
Lance Kilkenny has a debt to pay, and he isn't about to let the friend who saved his life go down in a range war. But when Kilkenny tries to stop the fighting, he finds there's more at stake than land or wire. Whoever is stirring up trouble has big ideas for the Live Oak country-and an army of hired guns to back them up. Nita Riordan, the beautiful and fiery owner of the Apple Canyon Saloon, warns Lance that the mysterious man orchestrating the conflict wants him dead. Lance realizes that if he doesn't watch his step, he'll pay the debt he owes with his own blood.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it as I have every Louis L'Amour story. Enjoy
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first of the Kilkenny trilogy, and in it we are treated to something more than standard Western fare. Lance Kilkenny is a gunfighter by necessity, not choice, and when he comes to the aid of a friend caught in the beginnings of a range war he's expecting to get out as quickly as possible. But a mystery behind a series of murders complicates things, as well as the beautiful Nita..
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I can finally say that I've read a Louis L'Amour book! This wasn't a bad western, but I haven't read too much in the genre to compare it to. This standalone follows Lance Kilkenny as he comes into town to hep a friend out. He's known as the fastest gunmen in the west, but most don't even know what he looks like because he never stays in any place long. He discovers that his friend Mort Davis needs help securing a waterhole from two wealthy cattleman who are claiming it as their own. As the bodies start piling up, it appears that a full on range war is about to engulf the whole territory, if only Kilkenny could keep his mind on work and his thoughts off the local saloon owner.Fast paced and quick, there is a small mystery that gives resolved in the end and lots of gunfights and stolen kisses from pretty women. Forgettable but fun.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wire is going up in Texas. Barbwire, and it'll mean a war. For small rancher Mort Davis it may spell the end of everything he's worked for. The big ranchers on either side are fixing to go to war - winner take all, including his property. He needs help, and Kilkenny owes him a favor....One of my favorite L'Amour books as a kid, it reads a bit differently from an adult perspective but I still revisit it every now and then.
