Synopsis

Lance Gordon’s running out of room and time. Back in the Sierras he killed the man who murdered his father. Unfortunately that man turned out to be a Deputy Marshal, and now Lance has a price on his head. Like Alan Ladd as Shane, Lance wants only to live in peace, but he’ll have to go through hell to get there.

Running from the law and the cavalry, Lance heads for the one place no sheriff or soldier will go—into the territory ruled by The Baron of Coyote River. The Baron is the king of the cattle rustlers—as feared and hated as he is powerful. No one dares take him on . . . until now.

Lance is sick of running, and taking on the Baron is his last chance for a second chance. Before the battle is over, Coyote River will run red with blood, as Lance has vowed to redeem himself . . . or die trying.

Hubbard often reminisced about his rough and tumble childhood in Montana. “At the age of three-and-a-half I could ride quite well. . . . They never let me ride any blooded stock; they always insisted that I only ride range broncs and mustangs. It did not matter how often I was thrown when a mustang exploded under me, it was I who was always scolded and cautioned not to be mean to the horses.” Memories such as this remind us that Hubbard himself inhabited the world of The Baron of Coyote River.

Also includes the Western adventure, Reign of the Gila Monster, in which a stranger rides into the roughest, toughest town in the West—and sets out to show the town who’s boss.

"Take a hard ride into a lawless corner of the Arizona territory, as the audio version of The Baron of Coyote River brings a stampede of action to life.

About this title

About the Author:

As one of the 20 top bestselling authors of all time, with more than 325 million works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard stands alongside an illustrious company of writers. But he also stands alone—as an author who actually lived many of the stories he wrote.

From AudioFile:

A wronged cattle rancher helps gunslinger Lance Gordon out of a jam so he can employ Lance against a local tough known as the "Baron." Our two antiheroes cross lawmen and villains alike as they carry out their maverick mission, encountering stampedes, gunfights, and close brushes with the gallows. Narrator RF Daley leads the way through this story of the Wild West, helped by a full cast, a cinematic score, and ample sound effects. Also part of this production is a short gem, "Reign of the Gila Monster," about an ogre-like man who tries to turn a carousing town dry and the criminal who aims to stop him. Pure western grit will leave dust in your teeth. F.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
