Summary
Ride a trail of blazing guns and two-fisted action in the Wild West as L. Ron Hubbard brings American history to life.
Hailing from the western states of Nebraska, Oklahoma and Montana, L. Ron Hubbard grew up surrounded by grizzled frontiersmen and leather-tough cowboys. When he chose to write stories of the Wild West, he didn’t have to go far to do his research, drawing on his own memories of a youth steeped in the life and legends of the American frontier.
Indeed, his Montana was a microcosm of the western frontier, an immense natural expanse that “swallows men up rather easily,” and a place he treasured, in retrospect, for “its do-and-dare attitudes, its wry humor, cowboy pranks, and make-nothing of the worst and most dangerous.”
Listeners will feel the heat, taste the dust and hear the thunder of horses’ hooves in these tales from a master storyteller of the genre.
This 4-audiobook collection includes 10 short stories for 8 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to life.
The titles and short stories in this collection are: King of the Gunmen (includes: “The No-Gun Gunhawk”), The Magic Quirt (includes: “Vengeance Is Mine!” and “Stacked Bullets”), The No-Gun Man (includes: “Man for Breakfast”), and Shadows from Boot Hill (includes: “The Gunner from Gehenna” and “Gunman!”).
“With the flair of a Louis L’Amour or Zane Grey.”—True West Magazine
Book Descriptions:
Shadows from Boot Hill: Outlaw Brazos races to take a “hit job” from Whisper Monahan. But things soon take a supernatural spin when Brazos acquires another shadow after killing a witch doctor, who, with his last breath, swears a deadly curse upon his soul. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Phil Proctor, Fred Tatasciore, Tait Ruppert, Jim Meskimen, John Mariano, and Corey Burton.
King of the Gunman: Gunfighter Kit Gordon, also known as “Sudden Death,” pairs with a lawman to make one of the West’s most unlikely duos. Caught between feuding sheepherders and cattle ranchers, Kit must choose to either run for his life or reveal he’s a wanted fugitive and square off with one of the region’s most vicious tyrants. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Tait Ruppert, Bob Caso, Jim Meskimen, and Tricia Kelly.
The Magic Quirt: Old Laramie is a cook for the Lazy G Ranch and owner of a silver quirt recently given to him after he saves an Aztec family from bandits. The quirt’s magical properties allow Laramie to begin performing extraordinary deeds of courage—or do they? Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Corey Burton, Michael Yurchak, Jim Meskimen, Bob Caso, Jonathan Nichols, Lynsey Bartilson, and Enn Reitel.
The No-Gun Man: Several years back East have changed Monte Calhoun and he has become “The No-Gun Man.” Monte’s civilized now—even if that means refusing to avenge the murder of his own father. But in a land of outlaws and ambushes, it’s only a question of how far Monte will be pushed before he pushes back … with a vengeance. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), David O’Donnell, Luke Baybak, Jim Meskimen, Tait Ruppert, and Michael Yurchak.
Critic reviews
“Nonstop action with a Mark Twain twist.”—True West Magazine
“Bears comparison to such notable western writers as Max Brand, T.T. Flynn and Alan LeMay.”—Booklist
“While there’s no shortage of heroes and villains, the story remains blessedly free of stereotypes. Pure pulp adventure—in the best way!—from start to finish.” —Audiofile Magazine
