TALON ON THE TROUBLE TRAIL

To Milo Talon there is nothing finer than drifting the far, lonesome country. But times are lean, and Talon hires out for a job that suddenly has him hog-tied to trouble. He's hunting for the long-hidden secret to a fortune in gold. Along with a beautiful woman driven by a desperate fear, Talon is quickly caught in the gold-crazed treachery of liars, thieves and murderers tracking his every move. But when the fighting gets ugly, Talon's rule is: plunge in and let the Devil count the dead.

LOUIS L'AMOUR

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
