Synopsis

In To the Far Blue Mountains, Louis L’Amour weaves the unforgettable tale of a man who, after returning to his homeland, discovers that finding his way back to America may be impossible.

As part of the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials!

Barnabas Sackett was leaving England to make his fortune in the New World. But as he settled his affairs, he learned that a royal warrant had been sworn out against him and that men were searching for him in every port. At issue were some rare gold coins Sackett had sold to finance his first trip to the Americas—coins believed to be part of a great treasure lost by King John years before.

Believing that Sackett possesses the rest of the treasure, Queen Bess will stop at nothing to find him. If he’s caught, not only will his dream of a life in America be lost, but he will be brutally tortured and put to death on the gallows.
 
Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives.
 
In Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1 and 2, Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L’Amour’s never-before-seen first novel, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas.

Additionally, many beloved classics are being rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. I always had a negative impression of Louis L'Amour (completely unjustified) and Sackett's Land was somewhat of a stretch, with unbelievable twists and turns that tested my willingness to believe. The sequel was, so to speak, a different story. To......more

Goodreads review by Barnabas on April 13, 2021

Goodreads review by Jacob on January 24, 2015

This was kind of a disappointment after the first. It has most of the same elements, and the same protagonist, but it's far more scattered with a wandering story and not much cohesion.

Goodreads review by *Stani* on October 11, 2019

Much better continuation of the Sackett saga. The start of the book is action packed, as we follow the prison break by Barnabas himself.
