Mysterious Rider

Written by Zane Grey

Narrated by Mary Bard

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 (1872–1939) was an American writer best known for western literature. Born and raised in Ohio, Grey was one of five children from an English Quaker family. As a youth, he developed an interest in sports, history and eventually writing. He attended University of Pennsylvania where he studied dentistry, while balancing his creative endeavors. One of his first published pieces was the article “A Day on the Delaware" (1902), followed by the novels Betty Zane (1903) and The Spirit of the Border (1906). His career spanned several decades and was often inspired by real-life settings and events.

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.

This book was written with excellence, however I wish Colli’s dad would have told her who he was before he died.

Typical Zane Grey writing. Very good discription. The plot and timing were a little slow.
