In the days of the frontier West, it was not unusual for desperadoes and fugitives from justice to seemingly disappear from the face of the earth. Shadow on the Trail by Zane Grey, one of the best-selling authors of all time, is the story of one such man who returned to reestablish himself in a law-abiding society.

In Texas, young bank robber Wade Holden, once the toughest, fastest trigger man in the notorious Simm Bell gang, makes a promise to his dying mentor that he will go straight. He is tired of shooting, riding, and fighting. All he wants now is to settle down on the ranch for a nice peaceful life. But with the Rangers on his tail, he struggles to find sanctuary. With the help of a young woman and her family, he attempts to turn his life around in Arizona.

As all of Zane Grey’s novels this one was awesome. The narrator leaves a lot to be desired, he made the book a little hard to listen to.

Great story terrible narration

The story is good. The narrator sucks! To get through the bad reading I sped the reading up to 1.5. It was worth suffering through the narrator to hear the story

All time worse narration

I've read many Zane grays and as anybody who has knows, his books are always exemplatory. He can be a little long-winded when he's describing a scene but the story lines are always great. that said, the narrator is awful. Not at all how I imagine the characters in my mind. Reading the paper back is much better than listening to the narrator.

Epic author, awful narrator.

I’ve watched over 100 western films in my life, but never read anything from the genre. My wife has recently been raving about her favorite western books, so I thought I give one a try. This Zane Grey novel was fantastic. Even if you’re totally unfamiliar with westerns you’ll get a great introduction though this sprawling story that transcends virtually the entire American southwest and every sort of western backdrop imaginable. Robbers, Texas Rangers, Buffalo hunters, mountain men, cattlemen, and rustlers all figure into this tale. It’s sheer scope is probably what impressed me most, no two hour movie could possibly encapsulate the journey of Wade Holden and his personal quest to survive and go straight after a life of crime. Packed to the gills with interesting characters, environments that are majestic in their description, and a surprisingly solid romance story, Shadow on the Trail is a great western in every definition and a story I look forward to revisiting.

My first western novel
