Download As PDF : The Kilkenny Series Bundle edition by Louis L'Amour Literature Fiction eBooks 
Discover one of Louis L’Amour’s most iconic heroes of the frontier Lance Kilkenny, the reluctant gunslinger outrunning a bad reputation and a troubled conscience. One of the earliest creations from the master craftsman of Western fiction, Kilkenny featured prominently throughout the years in L’Amour’s work, his search for peace and quiet interrupted by one heart-stopping adventure after another. Now this rollicking eBook bundle collects the three full-length Kilkenny novels alongside three essential shorter pieces
KILKENNY
THE RIDER OF LOST CREEK
THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY WAR
WEST OF DODGE (SHORT STORY)
MONUMENT ROCK (NOVELLA)
A GUN FOR KILKENNY (SHORT STORY)
Kilkenny wasn’t looking for trouble when he entered the Clifton House stage station, but trouble found him when a reckless youngster named Tetlow challenged him, drew his gun, and paid for it with his life.
Looking to escape a reputation that he never wanted, Lance Kilkenny settles in the lonely mountain country of Utah, planning to ranch a high, lush valley. But the past is on his trail. Jared Tetlow is a powerful rancher determined to run his vast herd on the limited grasslands there—whether he has to buy out the local ranchers, run them out, or kill them. He’ll cut down anyone who stands in his way, especially a man he already despises the gunman named Kilkenny—the man who killed his son.

This review is not about The book as much as it is about the addition. I am a long time fan of Louis L;amours work and have read everything he has published in paperback. These two stories are from the pulp magazine versions. The L'amour estate does not get royalties from these so they are cheaper. In the book they tell you (sort of) that these are shorter magazine versions and they quote somebody who says that they are better then the versions that L'amour did later. I have read both and I don't agree. If you are buying these because they are cheaper then the Bantam versions and you have read those before you will find plot elements missing that were in the longer paperback versions. Characters are less developed as well. If you just want a basic introduction to L'amour and his style these will be fine.Product details

The Kilkenny Series Bundle edition by Louis L'Amour Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
These books were fun to read. Louis L,Amour has that great talent of being able to set up the scene in your head. This is a great talent. And Lance Kilkenny is a modern Robin Hood, always helping the man or woman who caught between an evil man or group. I wish there were more men like him today. Not a gun fighter! But someone willing to help you in your hour of need. Enjoy!
Kilkenny is a typical L'Amour hero; tough, brave, courageous, cares about the underdog and tries hard to play down his gun fighting reputation. I have read many of L'Amour's short stories and novels and plan to read more. But the Kilkenny series do not soar for me like others of his works do. The 3 Kilkenny novels don't flow. The cabin location changes, some characters are the same, some are missing-just choppy and predictable. But L'Amour's weaker stories are still so much better than the rest of the genre, or better than many in other genres. Enjoy
The original writing of the Kilkenny character in 'Riders of Lost Creek' (as per the original release in a periodical) does not reflect the depth of the Kilkenny character in the 2nd book 'A Man Called Trent'.
This is unfortunate as the original story that I read (oh so many years ago!) provided a much more educated character, as portrayed in A Man Called Trent. It is my thought that the edited version provided in the book release is a better version of the story and Lance Kilkenny.
The books are entirely along the usual L'Amour set-up, good country description, scenes, interesting to read however the hero is always superman, occasionally gets clobbered, but being superman rises to greater stature. At the beginning one must surmise after all he is achieved prior to the action that he must be at least 50 years old. Furthermore I was wondering how many times Kilkenny marries Nita Riordan, at least once per book. The edition contains plenty of typographical mistakes by the way. In summary three stars only
This is the entire bundle of the Lance Kilkenny Series by L'Amour. This package includes range wars, dynamic grudges, some love interest, potentially explosive actions and the wonderful cliff-hangers that L"Amour typically uses. Great twists and turns so that even if you have read these before, your interest is still held. There's no doubt that these are exciting action books. I enjoy the development of the characters with the bold brush stokes that L'Amour always uses. He frequently uses maps before his plots so that you can consult where the action is leading to. Kilkenny is a great character and is fully developed in this series. For the price, this bundle is a bargain! Lot's of hours of interesting reading.
I am a huge fan of Louis L'Amour. This series is as good as anything he ever wrote. My one problem is with the bundle. It is out of order. The first novel, Kilkenny is the second book. Rider of Lost Creek should be first. I hope will correct this.
Lance Kilkenny is a Gunslinger but he is also a very good person who does not like the reputation one gets when they are good with a gun. Kilkenny goes well out of his way to help those who have been good to him when he needed help.
He would rather settle disputes without the use of guns! But, during his time in the West, a shooting was a simple way to resolve differences and this was accepted. Then times began to change; law and order were being sought for towns that were springing up in many Western Lands. Lawmen across the Western Lands began to communicate with one another to bring criminals to justice! Kilkenny respects law and order and attempts to change his identity so he can live in peace; this is only possible if others will allow him the opportunity.
He is also in love with a kind, beautiful woman but he is afraid to spend much time around her, since she could be killed because of him; because some young kid learns his true name and then decides he will kill Kilkenny so everyone will think he is "Bad Man," which really means that he is a bad man to mess with or he could kill you with a fast, accurate draw.
Nita Riordan, inherited a saloon when her father died. She either had to run the saloon to make a living or starve. A Yaqui Indian made a promise to her father that he would take care of Nita, which he does and, he feels Kilkenny is the man for Nita! Now if Kilkenny will stop being so pigheaded, he could end up with a stunning bride! Nita doesn't give up so easily and she has never been willing to cut Kilkenny out of her life regardless, of his fears!
This is another Louis L'Amour Winner! If not very careful, you may fall in love with Kilkenny yourself!
