The Man from the Broken Hills by Louis L'Amour

4.0

The country of Texas is wide open and ruggedly beautiful. Milo Talon intends to ride through it all. A drifting cowhand, Talon roams from ranch to ranch picking up work as the need arises, yet as the son of a successful rancher he is well educated. When Talon begins working the country, riding the round up looking for Spur and Saddle Iron cattle, he puts that education to work as he uncovers a theft three years in the making. Will this discovery lead to the end of his life or the thief’s long drop from a short rope? Andrews’ distinctly voiced, steady pacing, and tone immerses the listener in the life of roving cowboy. Rough country and rough men are masterfully portrayed by the layered storytelling, akin to listening to stories around the campfire out on the range. Readers of westerns will be sure to enjoy the new audio of a L’Amour classic.
