Hot Metal

A Western Story

De: S. I. Soper

Narrado por: Traber Burns

After spending an unknown number of days caged, chained, and tortured by men wearing hoods in the darkness of a root cellar who insist he robbed a bank and killed several women, 25-year-old Ben Hawthorne is rescued by four men. But who are these men, and why were they looking for him - the son of Eli and Cora Hawthorne, born on a ranch outside of Nacogdoches, Texas, orphaned at 10 when his parents were killed by Comanches, and then taken by the Comanches who gave him his Indian name, Newcomer?

When he learns that his “rescuers” are in fact bounty hunters who believe he is the son of a rancher named Locklin, he doesn’t understand. Matters become even more puzzling when he is taken to the home of Locklin and the big-time rancher recognizes him as his missing son of five years, Seth. Things continue to confuse Ben when he is shown a picture of Seth and it is like looking in a mirror. Hawthorne knows who he is, but everyone he meets believes he is Seth, including Seth’s sister and Caitlan Black, the spitfire who was Seth’s childhood friend, who is ready to go to war with Arch Locklin over access to water.

West With a Twist

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the story. From the first paragraph to the last, I was hooked with a passionate curiosity. There are many who done it's, but I had to know who is he and would not guess until the final chapter.

Sad it's over.

Absolutely worth a listen. Loved everything about this book. One of the best freebies by far.

thrilling till the end

you never know the whole story until the very last sentence of the book cut the entertain the whole way through definitely recommend

Great read.

Well written, good storyline, masterfully performed, had me on the edge of my seat throughout. The plotline was easy to follow and was very well done. 👏

Good one

Traber Burns was excellent as usual. I enjoyed this story through and through. A good twist at the end and I’ll be looking for another western.

Worth The Fight

Love the way a young man over came adversity, and won the heart of the woman he loves.
