Zane Grey Boxed Set: Volume 5

De: Zane Grey

Narrado por: Jim Roberts, Brian Grey

This final Boxed set of Zane Grey's novels features three of his most popular titles:

The BORDER LEGION is the adventure of a daring frontierswoman and the men she inspires. Joan Randle is a strong, capable woman living with her uncle in the wilds of Idaho. She likes Jim Cleve but is impatient with his laziness. After a quarrel, Jim heads to the lawless Montana border to prove himself, and a remorseful Joan tries to track him and bring him back. She finds herself in trouble when Jim Kells, the outlaw and scourge of the border, comes across her camp. What follows is an unexpected tale of crime, dissolution, bravery, and redemption

BETTY ZANE strays from the usual Western tale, which has a man as the hero. Betty is brave and heroic, but never fearfull. There is a sweetheart to be reunited with in the end. Life along the Ohio River in frontier days is authentically depicted in this saga. The pioneer settlement of Fort Henry is the setting for the action involving traitors, Indian attacks, and a catastrophic fire.

THE DESERT OF WHEAT may lack gun fights and horses that appear in other Zane Grey novels, but the story is nonetheless just as captivating. Young wheat farmer Kurt Dorn is at odds with his father over his plan to leave the farm and enlist in the army to fight in World War One. Wheat crops are needed to feed the troops and the nation. When unscrupulous union organizers with foreign ties appear on the scene, a battle just as dramatic forces Kurt to take action that leads to life-changing decisions. A splendid step away from the Wild West for Zane Grey, who paints just as vivid a picture in this story as in his other novels and creates a captivating tale.
