Publisher's summary

He's the son of a cattle rancher. A restless young dreamer who, under normal circumstances, would follow in his father's footsteps. Normal, however, is not his style. Like his famous grandfather and namesake Perley Gates - a hell-raising mountain man with a heavenly name - young Perley wants adventure, excitement, and freedom. And like his grandfather before him, he will find his dream - in the untamed wilds of a lawless frontier. That dream though might just become a nightmare....

After his father's death, Perley strikes out on his own. His first order of business is to track down the grandfather whose name he shares. When he crosses into Oklahoma Territory, young Perley discovers that the trail is full of dead ends - and near-death encounters. Hostile Indians, wanted outlaws, and bloodthirsty killers are just a few of the dangers waiting for him. And the closer he gets to finding the original Perley Gates, the closer he comes to meeting his Maker at the fabled gates they're named for....

Lighthearted as westerns go

Overall enjoyed the story. Please note skipping in audio several times from chapter 12-18.

Narrator

The narrator should have been just for the old guys not for the young guys and some of the gals I’ll go to the next book with those changes in mind. Keep in my nd it was the producers that chose him, not Danny Campbell himself. I think

Just what you expect from Johnstone

Exciting and full of action. Perley is a very likable fellow that goes out of his way to stay out of trouble.

Great story. Likable hero.

This was a really great listen! Story moved pretty quickly, with interesting characters and no time spent on the monotony of horseback travel, which could’ve easily been the case. Perley is an utterly likable hero, and his commitment to doing right and good by all he meets is refreshing and inspiring. I don’t typically listen to westerns, so this was a fun break from my typical listen, and it absolutely had me imagining old west saloons and sheriffs and outlaws, and dreaming about horses and six-shooters.

It was tough to distinguish the different voices from one character to the next, as the narrators voice didn’t have a lot of variation, but there were enough “_____ said” cues that I didn’t get lost in it.

Overall, really solid listen. Looking forward to hearing more about Perley Gates!
