Gun Boss of Tumbleweed

Written by L. Ron Hubbard

Narrated by Luke Baybak and R.F. Daley

Mart Kincaid may be the fastest gun in the state, but his life is not his own. It belongs to Gar Malone, a rancher driven by his thirst for power and more land. Now Gar wants the Singing Canyon spread, and blackmails Kincaid into running its owners off. But that means driving away Sally Drake, and that's the last thing Kincaid wants to do. It's time to settle up, once and for all, with the blackmailing Malone. The secret is out — and so are the blazing guns — as the audio version of Gun Boss of Tumbleweed puts you on the trail of redemption and revenge.

L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

Reviews for Gun Boss of Tumbleweed

[regularguy5mb · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a Goodreads First Read giveaway score.If not for the backup story "Blood on His Spurs," I probably would have given this one three stars. While Gun Boss of the Tumbleweed is a decent enough story, there's nothing particularly special about it. It's enjoyable, but a predictable western formula. Gunslinger forced to work for a bad man, questioning his life choices, ends up saving the daughter of his boss's current rival for a certain spread of land. He likes both the girl and the man he's there to get rid of, so which direction will this story be going?This was one of those "could have been better with a few minor adjustment" stories, but like I said, it's enjoyable. The audio format helps because it's like listening to a radio play.The backup story, "Blood on His Spurs," another western yarn, is a better story and I wish there had been more to it. This one is about honor, family, and the past; and it is really a well done little tale.I enjoyed both these stories for what they are, pulp. Not on the same level as the pulp masters, but entertaining.
