About this listen

Jim Cleve has been deemed "a good guy" all of his life and it agitates him to no end. Even his girlfriend, Joan Randle, has scorned him for this "weakness," shouting, "You haven't it in you even to be BAD!" Dejected and hurt, Jim abandons the life he has known for the gold mining camps along Alder Gulch in southern Montana. It is here, among the thieves and murderers, that he must make a new name for himself.

Meanwhile, Joan realizes the danger that she has put Jim in and rushes off to save him. However, when she stumbles across the ruthless desperado gang leader, Jack Kells, it is soon Joan who is in need of rescue. When Kells tries to rape her, Joan grabs his gun and shoots him. But something keeps Joan from leaving him to die. In the face of Joan's loving spirit, Kells experiences his own change of heart. But it is too late. Kells' outlaw gang arrives and keeps Joan hostage.

So begins the border legion adventures of roving bandits, lust and greed. With Jim's search for a new identity, Jack's moral dilemma and the fight for Joan's freedom, this thrilling story portrays the epic theme of man's continual struggle between good and evil.

Different. Performance was awful.

It's rare to see a Western with a female as the main character. Her story of survival and wit is pretty amazing. I also enjoyed the narration. The reader has an awesome voice. I would highly recommend this book by Zane Gray.

pretty good

The woman, Joan Randle spoke out of anger rather than common sense, insulting and angering her friend, Jim Cleve. Frustrated and unthinking, Jim rode off to prove his courage and refute Joan’s accusations. Repentant, Joan rode to find Jim but came across someone much worse, Jack Kells. Eventually, Joan realized her predicament. The story is rather odd, it chronicles Joan’s experiences and feelings while being held captive at an outlaw camp. She seems quite confused between Kells and Cleve. I think this young woman is mentally disturbed. Cleve is not far behind her. The melodrama is overbearing. A bizarre story.

Roving bandits, lust, and greed!

This is the least likeable story from Zane Grey I have read so far. There are no characters that you can care about or have an interest in, except Roberts. But poor Roberts is killed off early and completely forgotten. Which is what I should have done with this book.

Not worth your time

the story might have been good, but I just couldn't listen to the narrator... maybe it was his first attempt?

not so good.
