Story
Trueman Rock is a daring young cowboy and rider. Six years ago he had to leave the cowtown of Wagontongue because of a history of gunfights and run-ins with bad hombres. Since then, he's become a man who only uses his gun when he needs to, on rustlers and crooks. Now, he's returning to his hometown. But things have changed. The town and its people aren't what they used to be. He expects to find some of his enemies there to welcome him, but instead finds they're all dead. In their place is the Preston family.

With night at hand and a rainstorm brewing, Milt Dale takes shelter at an old log cabin in the forest. It is here he overhears vengeful men scheming to kidnap Helen, the niece and heiress of a prominent rancher in poor health, and take over her uncle’s vast property themselves. Determined to thwart the men, Milt leaves his wild paradise and springs into action. After narrowly escaping, Milt leads Helen and her kid sister away from man-made danger and deep into the perceived safety of the forest...but the kidnappers are not far behind, and they are set on carrying out their evil plot.

To the Last Man is Zane Grey's archetypal tale of a bitter feud between two unforgiving factions: the ranchers led by Jean Isbel and, on the other side, Lee Jorth and his band of cattle rustlers. In the grip of a relentless code of loyalty to their own people, they fight the war of the Tonto Basin, desperately, doggedly, to the last man, neither side seeing the futility of it until it is too late.

After a lifetime of robbing banks and holding up trains, Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker are ready to call it quits, though not completely by choice. Sold out by their old gang, they have to bust out of jail and pull one last job to finance their early retirement. The target is a rancher's payroll train. Catch is: the train is carrying a Gatling gun and 20 deputy US marshals who know they're coming. Caught and quickly sentenced to hang, their old enemy - the wheelchair-bound, bucket of mean, Marshal L. C. Bledsoe - shows up at the last minute to spare their lives.

It seemed the perfect place to lie low. The owner of the ranch was an attractive, gray-haired lady who had once been an actress. The other woman was a beautiful, fragile-seeming blonde. They needed repairs done, and he needed to disappear for a while. The first sign that things were not as they should be was when a Pinkerton man questioned him about a missing woman. Then he accidentally found a will belonging to the previous owner of the ranch. After that, a young lady showed up in town making claims that the place belonged to her.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Great Story!! Cons: slow start & poor narration
- By Monica on 01-17-17
Publisher's Summary
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.

Poor Narration
The narrator was disappointing. There was a very artificial and distracting cadence. There was also an emphasis on unimportant words and phrases.
This detracted from a good story.

A classic western but narrator disappointing
I waited years for this book to be narrated, having been one of my favourites, and was very pleased when it became available, especially as I'm almost blind and can no longerread the print version. but what a disappointment! Bentley's narration is peculiar: He's fine with dialogue (which saved him from a one star rating) but the connecting narrative passages are delivered in a sing-song style with a downward pitch at the end of sentences and pauses are mostly in the wrong places. It was irritating and rendered some passages emotionally flat. I so like the story, I persisted to the end but please Audible, don't let Bentley loose on any more titles!

Good story, poor narration
The story is a good one but the narrator kept bringing me out of it. The reader pauses in the middle of sentences, almost as if he didn't understand the language. He mispronounces words sometimes.

Best story, forest reading!
I was intrigued by the story from start to finish. I consider this book to be one of Zane Grey’s best!
The reading performance was at Best hard to listen to. Words were miss-pronounced throughout, and inflections and perceptions of the reader were way off base in many instances. I kept wishing that I had the words in front of me so that I could turn down the volume.

Dishonor to Jesse Chisholm.
Chisholm was a short squat dark man, half Cherokee. He was an Indian trader famous for the trail he laid to service his multiple trading posts and for his role as a peacemaker. He never drove cattle and was not a rancher.

Couldn’t make it through the first 20 minutes!
I am so sorry to say that the narrator really needs reading lessons. He pauses where he should not. He emphasizes words that he should not. It was so very hard to understand. His weasel like voices for the gang members made it harder.
Even worse, when he reads something like “he gleefully” said something the narrator growls out the words. Nothing gleeful about it.
Hopefully someday someone else will narrate the book as the story might well be a good one.

Nope, nope, nope.
Story was unnecessarily wordy, did not come across well in narration. Wanted to throttle characters for overdramatic dialog.
