No Traveller Returns (Lost Treasures): Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures

On the eve of World War II, a westbound tanker ship carries dangerous cargo across the sea and a crew of thirty-three. There's only one thing as unstable as the chemical freight the S.S. Lichenfeld carries--the tensions between crew members above and below deck. Chronicled by the insightful second mate John Harlan, as the ship voyages from San Pedro, California to Manila, fear and prejudice, class and ambition clash in a deadly mixture that reminds us what matters in life and how precious, how fleeting life can be. Written between 1938 and 1942, No Traveller Returns reveals the L'Amour his readers have never fully known--the first-time novelist. Delving deep into his father's creative process, Beau L'Amour has undertaken careful research and revision to complete Louis' lost novel in a manner that would fulfill the potential and preserve the spirit of his father's original vision.
