Last Stand at Papago Wells

A Novel

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: Jason Culp

It was the only water for miles in a vast, sun-blasted desert where water meant survival. So Logan Cates naturally headed for Papago Wells. But he wasn't the only one. Fleeing the fierce Churupati and his Apache warriors, other travelers had come there, too. And when the Apaches found them, they began a siege as relentless and unforgiving as the barren land - and just as inescapable.

The last thing Cates wanted was to be responsible for the lives of 13 desperate strangers and a shipment of gold. But he knew that if they were to survive, he was their last chance. He also knew that some in the party were willing to die - or kill - to get their hands on the money. If he couldn't get them to work together, it wouldn't be the desert or even the Apaches that would do them in - it would be the greed of the very people he was trying to save.

Classic L'Amour

Classic L'Amour told well, well read , lots of action. The good guy wins again and wins the lady

Excellent story.

Narrator was excellent . I had trouble putting this story down. Highly recommend this story

First listening

The story is a good one. The number of characters makes it a little confusing at first. The part concerning the amount of firewood was a stretch. The desert is a very harsh environment and the battle with the Indians seems extremely accurate. I’ll listen again and see if the story flows more smoothly.

Love

Love this story. Different characters all coming together in one place with a common problem.

Typical L'Amour, wonderful as always.

A great story with a very good narration. Leaves you wishing for another book to continue the story.

One Of My Favorite Stories

Sad that so many had to die, but if all had lived this would have been nothing other than a boring fairytale . I am enjoying the freedom afforded to have someone else read to me and my eyes do better for the rest, Thank You.

Epic story telling, perfect ending.

Didn’t want it to end. Huge L’Amour fan but can’t say this about all of his books. This one will become one of your favorites. Narrator sounds like a cowboy but in an annoying way. (If you listen to a lot of western books you know what I mean). Solid 5 stars.

Most entertaining!

An excellent concept and setting for the interplay of L'Amour's characters. Delivery and plot are fast moving, and the outcome and denuement are satisfying to the longtime fan of these works. I enjoyed the Sacketts series and many other of his novels, but this one is a concise piece which really makes the reader/ listener pay attention without the need to follow long and deep connections across continents and time. would be a great intro for new Lamour fans.

Loved it

Good read. Find myself wishing it was longer. Really enjoyed the narrator's style you can feel the story as it's being read to you.

Excellent story line!!

There was never a dull moment. The story line kept you intrigued so much so it seemed that you were a character in the story. Very enjoyable!
