Publisher's Summary

Ride a trail of blazing guns and two-fisted action in the Wild West as L. Ron Hubbard brings American history to life. Growing up in Montana provided him with the first-hand experience that added a tone of authenticity to his western tales. Listeners will feel the heat, taste the dust, and hear the thunder of horses’ hooves in these tales from a master storyteller of the genre.

This 5-audiobook collection includes 9 short stories for 10 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.

Titles and short stories in the Western Short Stories Collection Vol 1 include: Branded Outlaw, Six-Gun Caballero, Under the Diehard Brand (with: “Hoss Tamer” and “The Ghost Town Gun-Ghost”), The Baron of Coyote River (with: “Reign of the Gila Monster”), Cattle King for a Day (with: “Come and Get It”).

You will love this collection because, as True West Magazine describes, they are “Westerns with the flair of a Louis L’Amour or Zane Grey.” And Booklist compares Mr. Hubbard to “notable western writers as Max Brand, T.T. Flynn, and Alan LeMay.”

Book Descriptions:

Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Shaun Duke, and Tait Ruppert.

Under the Diehard Brand: Lee Thompson must step in to help his father regain control over gunslinging town troublemakers.

Daley (narrator), Rob Paulsen, Phil Proctor, Corey Burton, and Jim Meskimen.

Critic Reviews

“Nonstop action with a Mark Twain twist.”—True West Magazine

“Bears comparison to such notable western writers as Max Brand, T.T. Flynn and Alan LeMay.”—Booklist

“While there’s no shortage of heroes and villains, the story remains blessedly free of stereotypes. Pure pulp adventure—in the best way!—from start to finish.”—Audiofile Magazine
