A Western Story

By: Max Brand

Narrated by: Mark Bramhall

Length: 8 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

The attacks of the huge lobo Gray Cloud have caused the remarkable price of $2,500 to be put on his head. And it falls to big Dave Reagan, considered little better than a half-wit in that part of the range, to discover the monster held fast in two of his traps.

Something in the fearless animal's eyes keeps young Dave from killing the wolf. Instead Dave releases Gray Cloud, who is unable to walk, and rescues him from a prairie fire that threatens them both. Dave brings Gray Cloud home and chains him in a shed that he uses as a blacksmith shop. Dave expects now that, as a result of this feat, his cousins will finally come to respect him. But as far as they are concerned, this is the time to put a bulletin Gray Cloud, cut off his paws and head fur, and claim the $2,500 reward.

What they didn't anticipate is that Dave would object to their plan. Dave escapes with Gray Cloud into the wilderness, and it is there that the two become indelibly attached. It was an error, however, for Dave to think that men would not intrude on them. Before long both Dave and Gray Cloud are fugitives, having to protect each other as they attempt to elude their pursuers.

Took me by surprise

If you like books about survival in the wilderness, men of integrity this book is for you. I was pleasantly surprised at how well written and what a good story this was. I didn’t know what to expect I’ve never listen to or read a book by Max Brand and this certainly will not be the last. Mike Bramhall did a fabulous job narrating with all the characters in the book.

Gripping

I don’t often leave words about a book but, this book was one of the best I’ve listened to all the way through nonstop.

Great story, good narrator.

A story that you will not see in today's so called woke world. Great escape for a short time.

Great

This was probably the most enjoyable book and presentation I have heard in a long time

Exceptional Reading!

Mark Bramhall made my LAST FAVORITE genre an exciting and enjoyable read! Give it a listen, because this story is REALLY good!

Excellent

This is absolutely a spellbinding masterpiece. This book should become a series of adventures involving Dave Reagan lifelong events.

Kindness, forgiveness, honour… and many other great things.

Wonderful heartwarming story, narrated by the one and only, inimitable King of narration Mr. Mark Bramhall! Thank you Mr. Bramhall for all the hours of pure enjoyment. Your work on the Slow Moving Parts was absolutely superb. It turned me into a fan of yours and after thoroughly enjoying that performance, I started going through the catalog searching for books not by the genre or authors, but by inputting your first and last name. Again, thank you so much for your magnificent talent. You make these stories, these characters come alive like nobody else. Please keep on doing what you’re doing!

Hard to put down.

Both the man and this book I enjoyed the well written illustrations. You are there with them and rooting for Dave to pull through.
