    About this audiobook

    This book has all the elements of a classic Western, including rustling and gunfights, but at its heart is the battle between good and evil, between duty and love, between selfishness and self-sacrifice. The ‘mysterious rider’ of the title arrives at White Slides ranch, and his coming will have major consequences for many of those living there, not least for Columbine who is promised to a man she cannot love.

    Zane Grey

    American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.

      It seem like every book I listen to is better than the last one. Zane was one hell of a writer ! I wish that I could have met him I think we would have been kindred spirits’

      Wow!! What a great book! This was my first western and now I'm hooked. It has it all, action, adventure and a great love story. I couldn't wait to get to the end and find out what happens. I highly recommend.

    • 5/5
      This book was written with excellence, however I wish Colli’s dad would have told her who he was before he died.
    • 4/5
      Typical Zane Grey writing. Very good discription. The plot and timing were a little slow.
