His writing creates vivid pictures of the early merchant caravans and what life was like in those times. I´ve loved ´Down the Long Hills´ since I was a kid, but this is probably my other favorite. I wrote to Mr. L´Amour years ago and he very kindly wrote back. In his letter, he mentioned that he was working on a new novel called ´The Walking Drum´ and I think that might be the main reason that I love it so much. But don´t get the idea that it isn´t a great story on it´s own. Like all of L´Amour´s books, the research on it is awesome and the story is interesting at the least and often riveting. He had a great feel for history, and not just of the Old West. I can´t say that I enjoy the fight scenes all that much, but he definitely writes a book that is action packed. I´ve read it several times, though, and I always feel that he intended a sequel that he didn´t get to write, and that always make me feel sad.. And summed up by saying Probably one of my two favorite L´Amour novels. Currently The Walking Drum has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
