Clyde: Return to Tucson

A Western

De: William Black

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Clyde “The Kid” Cunningham never planned on returning to his hometown of Tucson, Arizona. He had ran away from home for good reason, after the horrific murder of his father by a disgruntled neighbor over three acres of farmland.

After his own life was threatened, Clyde did what any fifteen-year-old would have done – he jumped on his horse and rode as far as he could.

After ten years of living in New Mexico, Clyde and the Navajo family who had taken him in came to Tucson in an effort to get a fresh start. However, Clyde quickly learns that fresh starts aren’t as simple as they should be. Upon arrival, he learns that the greedy neighbor who had killed his father is now the mayor of Tucson. Benjamin “Moneybags” Wallace is not only running the city, but also in charge of a small crime outfit that is running amuck around town.

The time is ripe for Clyde to avenge his father’s death, and especially so when his childhood friend Bethany, who is also the mayor’s daughter, is held captive by her own father.

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Good triumphs.

I was only disappointed when Clyde left his family in danger leading to their deaths.

The narration was perfect!

I thought the story line and the narration flowed together really well. I listened to this book twice so far. I seem to hear clips I missed the first time.

HORRIBLE Narration, re-hashed story

The narration was performed by AI. This was a horrid mistake. The AI is droning and the cadence is all wrong. Emphasis on the wrong words in a sentence was distracting and sounded foolish.
The story line is standard old western - really bad, rich man does terrible things to a family and young man for no discernable reason, and keeps a "fued" alive for a decade. It just so happens that the bad man's beautiful daughter is the best friend of the victim boy. Predictably, they fall in love and the boy winds up having to kill the bad man father and all his hired guns in the last chapter. And the last chapter is the ONLY place there is any real action.
This is a very boring, predictable, over-used storyline. Read in a droning, inappropriate voice.
AVOID THIS BOOK.
