Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Format:Taschenbuch
As a librarian, I can tell you that this is one of L'Amour's most popular titles. Unfortunately, I get asked frequently if we have the sequel. To all of you who are looking for it, I have bad news: L'Amour said he was working on the sequel, but if he was, it was never completed, and it was never published. Alas, THERE IS NO SEQUEL.
Format:Taschenbuch
L'amour is a master storyteller. Indeed, he is the best I have ever read. He is not, however, Homer, or Shakespeare, nor did he intend to be. He wrote, in this story, the best historical tale that has been told in our time. You will note among these reviews that there are only two kinds among them: those who give the book the highest rating, and those who give it only one or two stars. I could not give a book a stronger reccommendation.
Format:Taschenbuch
Those who enjoy reading of medieval Europe, a lively adventure and historical accuracy will love this book. Don't be fooled though; this no tale of knights in armor! L'Amour is an excellent writer, and this work of his shows off just how much research he did on the subject before taking pen to paper. Add to this the realistic adventure he cooks up and the book is nearly impossible to put down! I recommend it to all my friends. -tk
