Yondering gathers short stories and vignettes set across the early and mid-twentieth century, drawing on ports, ships, remote frontiers and working lives far beyond the American West. Characters face wartime danger, difficult voyages, unfamiliar countries and jobs that leave little room for error.

The collection reflects Louis L’Amour’s own experience as a traveller and seaman, using adventure, isolation and physical work to test people who must rely on judgement and resilience when they are far from familiar support.
