Publisher's summary

Macon Fallon had never needed more than a deck of cards, a fast horse, and a ready gun; he was counting on those things now as he led an unsuspecting group of settlers to an abandoned mining town. But while Fallon prepared to pass the ghost town off as a gold mine in the making, a funny thing happened: a real-life community started to take shape in the town he’d christened Red Horse.

So when a band of vicious outlaws and a kid who fancied himself a gunslinger threatened to rip Red Horse apart, Fallon found himself caught in one predicament he’d never gambled on. He had come to Red Horse to make a quick fortune, but now he might have to pick up a gun and risk his life for a place he never wanted to call home.…

Fallon by Louis L’Amour

What a clever story line on this enjoyable novel by Louis L’Amour!
This book has a different twist to it, so the reader will be surprised if the expectation is the lawman vs. bad guys narrative. A real treat!

In the tip theee!

I’ve listened to almost every L’amour available, and ‘‘tis one is second only to one other narrated by Culprit. Who, by the way, is simply the best. Original story. Humor. Suspense. Just everything you’d like to hear in a L’amour.

Enjoyable listen, but not L'Amour's best

Overall a great quick listen like any of L'Amour's books. However, I felt the ending was a bit rushed and the book didn't close well.

Suddenly…

Louis’ favorite word used often to propel each story onward thru the often formulaic but never boring arc that makes these true gems of the genre

Certainly no cookie-cutter western

This is some inspired storytelling from beginning to end and, frankly, I didn’t want it to end. Given the entertaining trajectory of the main character, Macon Fallon, one more chapter would have been a real treat. Is Fallon a bad man masquerading as a good man or a good man masquerading as a bad one? The community that grows up around him will have a little something to say about that. Jason Culp narrated the story superbly, adopting an absolutely perfect tone to bring about just the right amount of humor and complexity for Fallon. I found myself grinning rather broadly at the end.

A little different, but still classic L’Amour.

It has all the earmarks of a L’Amour with a lengthy fistfight, western history, and a variety of tough personalities. This one has a delightful twist to the ending and Jason Culp presents it superbly.

Excellent book

This was an excellent book. My first L’Amour book that I have read or heard. I truly loved it. I will purchase many more. I listened to the entire book in one setting overnight. I couldn’t go to sleep until I finished it. The book was very, exciting. It had everything that you could imagine in a western. I will purchase another right away. It will take you away from the crazy things going on in this world and allow you to dream again.
