Publisher's summary

First time in audiobook form, this "lost" Louis L'Amour novel, published in three parts in the old pulp magazines during the 1950s, showcases the story of the settling of the west in the lives and loves of the riders of the Tumbling K ranch. Once again, Louis L'Amour delivers an unforgettable novel of men and women facing the raw challenges of the range land. Ward McQueen and Kim Sartain are friends and hands on the Tumbling K ranch. One will find love with its passionate owner, Ruth Kermett. The other will leave in search of a woman and land of his own. Both will have to stand up for what they want with their hearts, their minds, and their guns. This authentic western saga remained undiscovered and unprinted for more than 60 years, until the editors of Buckskin Editions found it, and put the pieces together. Includes a preface by writer Charles Lee Jackson II, plus an introduction.

Great book

Another great western by Louis L'amour, it's great to hear some of these forgotten stories by one of the greatest western authors.
The Narrator did a great job, you only have to listen a few minutes before you are lost in the story.

Pulled From The Vaults

I have to say, in my opinion Louis L'Amour is the king of the western writers. This obscure book is no exception, never before now in audiobook form. Like most every other L'Amour book this audiobook will hold your attention from beginning to end. Also Randal Schaffer does an admirable job of narrating. I received this audiobook from the publisher in an audiobook give away and I am voluntarily providing an honest and unbiased review.

western shorts

I enjoyed the three short old western stories, and the sneak peek of another one. They held my interest and were entertaining. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Teriffic

L"Amour is one of the greatest western story tellers and this audiobook is a great example of his craft. His descriptions bring the reader into the story and into the wild west. Wonderful narration.

Excellent

The more I listen to Louis L'Amour's writing, the more I like it. Riders on the Tumbling K is more of a collection of stories than one continuous story. That's the only reason why I docked a star. Still, the first two stories about Ward McQueen as well as the followup about his segundo were excellent. They're short, sweet, and loaded with Americana. The narration also hits the mark really well. Randal Schaffer can do gruff, smooth, and feminine voices real well. Plus, his natural voice works really well for the occasional info dump.

Nice to revisit a favorite author

This is a collection of Louis L'Amour stories that had never been compiled into one edition before. Two of them are brand new to publishing. Having been a lifelong fan of his tales, especially the "Sackett" books. This was a treat.

Classic L'Amour

Definitely not disappointed in this compilation of novellas! The narration was spot on as well making this a fantastic audiobook experience.

Great western listen

I'm familiar with Louis LaMour as my husband collects his books. I've never read one, but I've heard so much about the characters and life lessons by Louie that I jumped at the chance to listen to this.

I'm not a huge western fan but I very much enjoyed the book and the narrator did a good job of bringing the characters to life.

If you like westerns, you'll really enjoy this one and if not, you may just become a fan.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and have voluntarily left my review.

Awesome

The narration was perfect for this series. It brought back fond memories and I spent an enjoyable afternoon listening to the stories again.
