Publisher's summary

An outlaw's legacy...

In a remote corner of Utah lies the secret outlaw kingdom of Ben Curry. For 15 years Curry has ruled supreme, as his men have pulled jobs from Canada to Mexico. But the king is getting old...he wants to turn his legacy over to someone younger, tougher.

Mike Bastian is Ben's adopted son, a young man who can handle a knife, a gun, his fists, but a man who's never broken the law. Now, as treachery explodes among Ben's riders, and two honest lawmen - Tyrel Sackett and Borden Chantry - begin to zero in on the gang, Mike must choose...between his loyalty to Ben and his yearning for a different life. Yet when the guns start echoing off the Vermilion Cliffs, the time for choosing is over - and the time for battle has begun.

Excellent dramatization

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Only wish the story were longer. Listening to the end was well worth it for the interview with Louis himself!

Story amd Interview

I loved hearing the afterwards about Louis' struggle to become a writer and then how he made his career in Western Literature which at the time was not popular. The story itself is completely intriguing as well and is a great read

Wonderful dramatization

The complex of characters seeking their true was of life is wonderfully told by these actors. I loved it. The interviews at the end were a bonus.

I loved the story but was disappointed by the blasphemy of using the Name Jesus as a cuss word. LL did not blaspheme like that.

I loved the story but was very disappointed in the use of Jesus’s name as blasphemy and as a cuss word I know that Mr. Lemoore did not write like that.

Good dramatization but...

I did not like the Lord's name taken in vain. Louis L'Amour did not write like this! . Whoever produced this audiobook used words that did not need to be heard.
I still think this was a great dramatization though. I have many other dramatizations from Louis L'Amour that don't use this language . Great books don't need to use the Lord's name in vain! Just disappointed.

Enjoyed thoroughly

Most idiots expect a dramatization to mirror the novel exactly. I enjoyed both equally. This particular dramatization was excellent when compared to others.

Classic Western Fare

This dramatized book in another of great fiction relating to our western heritage. There is an explanation at the end of how the production was accomlished as well as a brief conversation with the author. I highly recommend this title to any reader who enjoys western drama.
