Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Louis L'Amour was the most decorated author in the history of American letters and a recipient of the Medal of Freedom. Now collected here in a single book are several of Louis L'Amour's finest Western stories the way Mr. L'Amour wrote them. At the time Louis L'Amour was writing, it was common practice for editors to rewrite the manuscript to fit certain publishing criteria. The text of The Strong Land has been restored, and the stories within it appear as Mr. L'Amour intended.

More than any writer before or since, Louis L'Amour brought the American West to life. His action-packed stories deal with eternal themes: honor, deceit, passion, betrayal, loyalty, courage, love. His settings are historically accurate, his prose riveting, and his characters colorful: good guys, bad guys, toughs, roughs, sidekicks, and saints.

It was a name that caused the most hardened gunmen to break out in a cold sweat: Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie. Pursuing the most wanted men in the Southwest, he knew all too well the dusty trails, the bitter cattle feuds, the desperate killers, and the quiet, weather-beaten towns that could explode into mayhem with the wrong word. He had sworn to carry out the law, but there were times when he had to apply justice with his fists and his guns.

True to Zane Grey’s Utah with redemption and love - Smoke finds himself on a Mormon outpost in need of a hard working man. I like the humor in this first story.

Totally Enjoyable combination of stories
Where does Stories of the Golden West rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This collection hit the spot. It contains an out-and-out romance by Zane Grey, a suspenseful story by Max Brand told from the unusual perspective of a child, and a full-fledged mystery//western by Louis L'Amour.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Stories of the Golden West?
I always enjoy how Louis L'Amour can put some historical education and perspective into his stories. The background for his Captain Tom Kettridge is an example of that: the character's resume is a survey of wars and battles fought around the world at the time of the Old West era.
Which scene was your favorite?
The descriptions of sliding down a haystack in the moonlight made for a fun and memorable scene in the Zane Grey story. For the rest, shootout scenes are always fun.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could have listened to it all at once if time had permitted, it was all that good. But the audio player sometimes cut out on me and I had to pick up the story later.
