About this title

About the Author:

Lauran Paine (1916-2001), with more than a thousand books to his name, remains one of the most prolific Western authors of all time.

From AudioFile:

This sprawling Western chronicles the end of an era. The openrange is closing, the West is becoming more crowded, ranchers arestaking claims to the land, and fences threaten the way of life of thefree-range cowboy. Boss Spearman and his crew of drovers come upagainst a corrupt landowner and his gang of thugs. The result ispredictable--murder and mayhem, with a soupçon of romance. BarrettWhitener's narration is as slow as a cattle drive across the Westernlandscape. His reading is cheerless but strangely appropriate to thegrinding nature of life in the saddle. Whitener's performance ofSpearman's and Waite's mutual embarrassment over their friendship isspot-on. When Waite bumps into romance, Whitener handles hisbefuddlement and clumsy attempts at courtship with warmth andamusement.
