Ride a trail of blazing guns and two-fisted action in the Wild West as L. Ron Hubbard brings American history to life. Growing up in Montana provided him with the first-hand experience that added a tone of authenticity to his western tales. Listeners will feel the heat, taste the dust, and hear the thunder of horses’ hooves in these tales from a master storyteller of the genre.
This 5-audiobook collection includes 14 short stories for 10 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.
Titles and short stories in the Western Short Stories Collection Vol 2 include: Devilʼs Manhunt (with: “Johnny, the Town Tamer” and “Stranger in Town”), Toughest Ranger (with: “The Ranch That No One Would Buy” and “Silent Pards”), Shadows from Boot Hill (with: “The Gunner from Gehenna” and “Gunman!”), Death Waits at Sundown (with: “Ride ’Em, Cowboy” and “Boss of the Lazy B”), and Gun Boss of Tumbleweed (with: “Blood on His Spurs”).
You will love this collection because, as True West Magazine describes, they are “Westerns with the flair of a Louis L’Amour or Zane Grey.” And Booklist compares Mr. Hubbard to “notable western writers as Max Brand, T.T. Flynn, and Alan LeMay.”
