Reviews for The Lone Star Ranger
43 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Buck Duane is forced to kill a man to save his won life. This puts him on the outlaw trail where he is forced to kill other outlaws who resent his fame and skill with weapons. Eventually Captain McKelly of the Texas Rangers approaches him to become a Ranger in order to track down the Chelsedine gang and bring them to justice. In ending the gang's reign of terror, he proves the Texas Rangers are an important force in bringing law and order to Texas.While the novel is full of action, the reader must be aware of the lengthy descriptions of the natural beauty of Texas he will have to wade through to get to the action. Typical Zane Grey.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed the beginning, when Duane deals with his feelings about killing for the first time and the life he will be forced to live. It dragged a bit in the middle. His becoming a Ranger seemed a bit contrived. But it got interesting again at the conclusion.
