Western Short Stories Collection, Vol 2

De: L. Ron Hubbard

Narrado por: R.F. Daley

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.”

Book Descriptions:

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Nonstop action with a Mark Twain twist.”—True West Magazine

“Bears comparison to such notable western writers as Max Brand, T.T. Flynn and Alan LeMay.”—Booklist

“While there’s no shortage of heroes and villains, the story remains blessedly free of stereotypes. Pure pulp adventure—in the best way!—from start to finish.”—Audiofile Magazine

King of pulp

I’m really enjoying JRH’s early works. He’s one hell of a writer. This is so much better than his later work, like Battlefield Earth. This is short, fast paced and vivid. I recommend it.
