The Strong Shall Live

When they burned his home, he rebuilt it. When they shot at him, he shot back. But now the man they call Cavagan is in the worst bind of his life. With his hands tied and his body stiff from beatings, he has been left for dead at the bottom of a deep sand pit in the searing Santa Fe desert. Sixty miles from the nearest water. On foot, without a weapon, in one hundred and twenty degree heat. Only once thought drives him on: "I shall live! I shall live to see Sutton die."

Cavagan is one of Louis L'Amour's most remarkable heroes, a wily black Irishman honed by battle and baptized by fire. Now he's struggling for life -- and revenge -- in this brutal land.
