What if you returned from a journey and your family was gone? What if someone else was living in your home, running what you used to manage - and trying to kill you? Wade Forester must stay in the shadows or be shot. His father has disappeared, and his sister won’t speak. Beautiful Patricia Laughlin is running the show. Few people gain her approval, though powerful landowner Bridger Calhoun has high hopes. Each in his/her corner, Wade must decide whether to risk his life for Patricia. Bridger must win Patricia’s heart, and Patricia must choose which killer to trust with her life.
Set in Nevada’s historic silver rush, the writing comes from intimate knowledge of the territory. Having lived off the land, Wilcox depended on his wit, grit, and strength (and his animals) for survival, just as these characters do. Wilcox and Beckstrand weave authentic detail and care for the country and its creatures into an adventure that will make your heart pound and fill your lungs with the rarefied air of the old Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Stand-alone with additional short story. Family friendly (ages 14 and up).
“A must read.…I loved reading this novel.…After reading the back cover…my curiosity of which man might be on the front cover lured me.… one of the two main men is the real bad guy; but which one—and will Patricia Laughlin find out before it’s too late? In this intriguing and realistic portrayal of the Western lifestyle I found myself drowning into the deepest part of the plot.…Which man will keep?…A romance…stunning masterpiece…an irresistible tale.… Mystery, suspense…has it all…five out of five stars.” (Danielle Urban, Universal Creativity)
“A good read for all western fans.…The action starts with the first page and doesn’t stop…from start to finish. The dialogue was done well.…The characterization was good.…the authors did it very well.” (Paul Johnson, Readers’ Favorite)

Wagon trains heading west were forced to defend themselves against Indians, cope with injuries and illness, and struggle to find food. The group of easterners Rock Bannon was scouting for faced another problem. They were being deceived. When he warned them to remain on the Humboldt Trail, Sharon Crockett and the others refused to listen. Mort Harper, a stranger riding a beautiful black mare, had dazzled them with his charm and good looks. The southern route was the best way to go, Harper told them. But best for whom?

Even at the age of 14, folks were calling him the youngest bounty hunter in Texas. His pa said he was more man than most men. But now his pa lay dead in a dusty Lubbock, Texas street, back-shot by a wealthy and powerful New Mexico rancher. Over his father's grave he swore to make things right. Neither his age, impossible odds, nor a thousand miles of unforgiving desert would keep Tad Littlejohn from righting a terrible wrong.

When Hunter Buchanon rescued a wounded coyote pup — and named him Bobby Lee — he had no idea the cute little varmint would grow up to be such a loyal companion. Coyotes aren’t known to be man’s best friend. Most of them are as fierce and wild as the Black Hills they roam. But Bobby Lee is different. When Hunter is ambushed on the road, Bobby Lee leaps to his defense. And when the attacker tries to shoot Bobby Lee, Hunter returns the favor by hitting the man with a rock.

A young gunslinger is changed for the better by meeting a beautiful woman. A classic range-war Western, this novel features that powerful, romantic, strangely compelling vision of the American West for which L'Amour's fiction is known. In the author's words, "It was a land where nothing was small, nothing was simple. Everything, the lives of men and the stories they told, ran to extremes."

Ross Hardy had made his decision. He sat in the middle of all he owned, a splendid Appaloosa gelding, a fine California saddle, a .44 Winchester rifle, and two walnut-stocked Colt .44 pistols. These were his all. It was a life that had left him rich in experience, but poor in goods of the world. The experience was the hard-fisted experience of cold winters, dry ranges, and the dusty bitterness of cattle drives.

Most folks would call Kim Sartain an easygoing, peace-loving man. But the few who crossed the young drifter knew there was nothing he liked better than a good fight. When cattleman Jim Targ challenges Sartain's right to ride across an unclaimed stretch of meadow, Sartain decides he'll do better than ride through: He'll put down stakes there and homestead the land. So there's more at risk than land and pride when Targ hires a gunman to teach Sartain a permanent - and deadly - lesson

Beautifully written!
The beautifully descriptive writing instantly captured my full attention and kept me more and more engaged all the way through. The characters are fascinating, and the portrayal of dedication and determination, along with the process of earning trust, all created a genuinely inspiring experience. I love steel-tough, yet sensitive female characters and was definitely not disappointed. Highly recommend!

Boy meets girl, girl hates boy!
Let me say that I enjoyed the story and the characters. The tale is a western romance; man meets girl, girl doesn’t like him, girl changes her mind. We have the typical land grab plot with the bad guy Bridger Calhoun scheming to take good guy Wade Forrester’s half of the ranch while conspiring to marry the boss’s daughter Patricia Laughlin for the other half. The story is set in the rugged, if barely lawful, 1800s during the Nevada silver rush. It’s a good story. Patricia’s plight on who to believe and who to trust is the major focus of the story. It’s a quick read and I enjoyed it for what it was. Three.point.five. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Action packed
To Swallow the Earth: A Western Thriller
: Karl Beckstrand, Ransom Wilcox
A historical western fiction that has good guys and gals, bad guys and some the listener may not be sure about. There is plenty of action, drama and maybe a bit of romance. The characters are realistic and the description of the setting inviting. Holds the listener to the end with a surprise.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Jack Crenshaw's voice fits the genre nicely.
