About this audiobook
"If a man won't fight for what is rightly his, then he ain't much account." With this challenge from his dying father, young Shell Tucker rode out after three men who had stolen the twenty thousand dollars his father was carrying. Two of the men he hunted, Doc Sites and Kid Reese, were his friends. Dreaming of adventure, Tucker had wanted to join their gang. But now, with his father gone and the people back home desperately in need of the proceeds from the cattle drive, Shell was determined to uphold his father's reputation and recover their money. He knew the odds were against him. Finding his friends would be difficult. Getting the money back would be nearly impossible.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Just needs to be a little less juvenile - Tony mc
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While Tucker had some interesting scenes, I found the endless chase repetitive and the ending unsatisfying.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5All of L'Amour's books tell the same story - hero follows the Code of The West, gets shot by bad guys, gives them what they deserve, and rides off with the girl. It's a good story. (Even if some of the details are implausible.) Tucker's schtick is that he becomes the vengeful nemesis of the men who stole his money, just by following them. He succeeds (against improbable odds) after numerous escapes from what should have been sure death, by persistence and because, Justice.At this stage, L'Amour knows he's writing by formula, so he uses it to throw in a little history and a travelogue spiel, which is okay. The stories are slim at best, and padded with constant repetition of the Hero's internal ponderings, but the Moral Code is punched out pretty hard as well, and it's a pity more people don't read the old Westerns any more.The Code is the total antithesis of what the Precious Snowflakes are living by these days.NOTE of complaint: the set-up is strangely unrealistic for L'Amour: no way that two people would take a cattle drive by themselves with that large a herd and pay-off, both for reasons of expediency (too few hands) and security (need more guards for the gold).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Shel Tucker is eighteen and considers himself a man grown. But with his father dead and saddlebags full of gold lifted by a couple of his sometime friends, Tucker finds himself riding a long hard trail... and learning just how much he has to grow.A coming of age for Tucker as well as L'Amour's view of how the West started to find law and order.
