OrangeReviewStarGrey's canonical Western has here been given a new audio treatment. The novel—initially published in 1912—was among the first to establish the archetypes of the cowboy genre and includes a mysterious masked rider and a secret rustler hideout. Audio editions of this essential work are widely available—even at no cost, as the work is in the public domain—but narrator Michael Lackey gives this treasured classic the up-to-date performance it deserves. His gruff, resonant baritone will keep listeners enthralled.
VERDICT You won't find a better audio edition. Highly recommended for all audio collections.
