Lando: The Sacketts: A Novel

by Louis L'Amour Narrated by Josh Hamilton

Overview

In Lando, Louis L'Amour has created an unforgettable portrait of a unique American hero.

For six long years Orlando Sackett survived the horrors of a brutal Mexican prison. He survived by using his skills as a boxer and by making three vows. The first was to exact revenge on the hired killers who framed him. The second was to return to his father. And the third was to find Gin Locklear. But the world has changed a lot since Lando left it. His father is missing. The woman he loves is married. And the killers want him dead. Hardened physically and emotionally, Lando must begin an epic journey to resolve his past, even if it costs him his life.

Editorial Reviews

DEC 05/ JAN 06 - AudioFile

Youth, independence, strength, and hard-won wisdom are hallmarks of many of Louis L'Amour's most famous characters, and Orlando Sackett exhibits them in abundance. This eighth book in the Sackett series contains a famously raw and rowdy description of a "winner-take-all" boxing match that narrator Josh Hamilton handles with clarity and intensity. Be sure to listen for references to colorful historical characters of the times as Hamilton recounts the stories of Lando's search for lost treasure, a long absent father, and his own redemption. He projects a perfect mixture of youthful Tennessee brashness and the knowledge that a true man of the West will always have to move on. This is L'Amour at his best.
