Here is an historic adventure of extraordinary power waiting
to sweep you away to exotic lands as one of the most popular writers
of our time conquers new storytelling worlds. Louis L'Amour has
been best known for his ability to capture the spirit and drama
of the authentic American West. Now he guides his readers to an
even more distant frontier -- the enthralling lands of the 12th
century.
At the center of The Walking Drum is Kerbouchard, one of L'Amour's
greatest heroes. Warrior, lover, scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring
seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous
challenge, danger and revenge. Across the Europe, the Russian
steppes and through the Byzantine wonder of Constantinople, gateway
to Asia, Kerbouchard is thrust into the heart of the treacheries,
passions, violence and dazzling wonders of a magnificent time.
From castle to slave gallery, from sword-racked battlefields to
a princess's secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable
fortress of the Valley of Assassins, The Walking Drum is a powerful
adventure of an ancient world you will find every bit as riveting
as Louis L'Amour's stories of the American West.
