Book Description:
The Lonesome Gods is Louis L'Amour's biggest and most important historical novel to date, a sweeping adventure of the California frontier. Here is the fascinating story of Johannes Verne, a young man left to die by his vengeful grandfather, rescued by outlaws and raised in part by the Indians of the desert. Strengthened by the love of two women -- Miss Nesselrode, whose mysterious past fires her ambitions for the future and Meghan, a willful young beauty -- Verne grows to become a rugged adventurer, a man strong enough to embrace the awesome power of the Palm Springs desert, and bold enough to stake a claim in the bustling world of opportunity that was early-day Los Angeles.

Louis L'Amour at his best! I am a huge fan of his western epics and I could not put this one down until it was done. If you like westerns, you will like this book.

excellent read-always love L'Amour. have probably read this at least three times!
A good read-The Lonesome Gods is one of his biggest and most important historical novels, a sweeping adventure of the California frontier. A young boy plods along through the desert alone, left to die by his vengeful grandfather. He is soon rescued by outlaws, but no one could save him from the lasting memory of his grandfathers eyes. Raised in part by indians, then befriended by a mysterious woman, he grows up to become a rugged adventurer and an educated man. The past rises up to threaten his future once more. This time only the ancient Gods of the desert can save him.
