Publisher's summary

Rye Tyler was 12 when his father was killed in an Indian raid. Taken in by a mysterious stranger with a taste for books and an instinct for survival, Rye is schooled in the hard lessons of life in the West. But after killing a man, he is forced to leave his new home. He rides lonely mountain passes and works on dusty cattle drives until he finds a job breaking horses. Then he meets Liza Hetrick, and in her eyes he sees his future. After establishing himself as marshal of Alta, he returns, only to discover that Liza has been kidnapped. Tracking her to Robbers' Roost, Rye is forced to face the man who taught him all he knows about books, guns, and friendship. Two old friends...one woman: Who will walk away?

Louis L`Amour did it AGAIN

This is one great story . But the end is a "incredible" finish . It's more than a western. It's sadness, revenge, love, adventure, and romance .
I recemend this book.

One of the best

The voice of the narrator was perfect for the youthfulness of this western story. Plus, it was a great story line. Loved it.

always a favorite

Living in the 4 corners, I love these tales. Knowing Mr L'Amour loved this area enough to immortalize it.

Six star book

I have listened to every novel by Louis lamour that is on audible. Jason Culp is a great reader. I love all of his books, but man, this one is special. If I could give it six stars I would: if you call yourself a western book fan, this is a must read.
