Western

“Red Ruckus” by Brett Cogburn (DB125776)

Narrated by Bradford Hastings (7 hours, 29 minutes)

"Morgan Clyde, legendary town tamer and shootist, is the kind of man who will look down the barrel of your loaded gun and keep on coming, and the kind of man there's no stopping short of putting him in a grave when he thinks he's in the right. He's just the kind of man that a certain little town in the lawless Indian Territory needs, the town once known as Ironhead Station and the town that has already almost killed him more than once. Only this time, the trouble isn't from crooked railroad men, hired killers, or the other usual varieties of outlaws that call the territory home. It's trouble with another sort of renegade entirely, the kind that hides behind a badge and a judge's gavel. As usual, the odds are stacked against Morgan. Not only must he face down a gang of crooked deputy marshals intent on killing him, but old friends encountered may prove more painful than the bullets, and the old loves and old grudges that resurface may prove every bit as deadly."-- Provided by publisher.

“The Angry Land” by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone (DB126539)

Narrated by Cody Roberts  (9 hours, 11 minutes)

"When a cattle train bound for Texas is ambushed by blood thirsty rustlers, legendary mountain man Smoke Jensen vows to get the cattle back, get the killers who stole them--and get revenge for the blood they spilled... The completion of a new railroad line from Colorado to Texas is a dream come true for Smoke Jensen and the other ranchers of Big Rock. But this dream turns into their worst nightmare when the first herd they load onto the train is stolen by a vicious gang of kill-crazy rustlers. This is no ordinary train robbery. It's an inferno of slaughter that includes the friendly rancher who volunteered to take Smoke's place on the trip. Now Smoke is saddling up and riding out--to get the prairie rats who murdered his friend... Smoke isn't the only one who's after these merciless killers. A pair of undercover lawmen from Texas have managed to infiltrate the gang by pretending to be dangerous outlaws. While Smoke is trying to track down the stolen herd, the undercover lawmen pretend to plot with the gang to rob more cattle trains. But there's a hitch in the lawmen's plan. To make sure they're really on board, the gang wants them to prove their loyalty--by eliminating their biggest threat: Smoke Jensen..."-- From publisher.

 

“Never let them see you bleed” by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone (DB126641)

Narrated by Jon Waters (8 hours, 30 minutes)

"Flint Moran was fourteen years old when the Civil War ended. He was fifteen when his family bought a plot of land near Tinhorn, Texas. He was barely nineteen when he caught a pair of rustlers stealing cattle--and singlehandedly brought them to justice. How did a teenaged boy track down and capture two hardcase thieves without any help? That's what Tinhorn sheriff Buck Jackson wants to know. He can't help but be impressed by Flint's sharp eye and natural talent with a Henry rifle. So he offers to deputize the boy--tin badge, Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, and all--and Flint happily accepts. But there are things the young deputy doesn't know. And what he doesn't know could kill him... There's a gunman coming to town. A showdown is brewing that could prove to be Flint's first-and possibly last-test. But either way, there will be blood..."-- From publisher.

 

“Texas Rifles” by Elmer Kelton (DB126361)

Narrated by George Guidall (6 hours, 55 minutes)

"The new Confederacy, facing into the Union cannon, had too much on its hands to send troops to the Texas frontier to hold back the Indians. Instead, it authorized the State of Texas to raise its own troops. Many kinds of men drifted into the Texas Mounted Rifles. Some thought it might be safer than fighting in far off Virginia. Many were merely young men a-thirst for adventure. Some were settlers who saw this as the best way to protect their families and homes against the murderous thrusts of the Comanche. And some were men who still loved the Union, who had lived too long under that gallant flag to turn their guns against it now. Such a man was Scout Sam Houston Cloud..."-- Goodreads.
