Blaze

By: William Black

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the day he was orphaned until he ended up in the silver mines at White Pine, Nevada, Blaze Mowbray has only known the merciless frontier.

Thanks to the protection of his adoptive mother, lawlessness and degeneracy have always been just out of reach.

Now Blaze has no choice – at sixteen, he’s leapt into the fire of an outlaw’s world.

When the silver is gone, money becomes scarce and company big shots like William Montgomery hire outlaws like Jed Scanlon to maintain the bloodstained bones of his business empire and recoup his mounting debts.

Jed Scanlon. He’s insane, and he’s tempting Blaze to turn away from good.

When the last wagons leave the fallen mining district, Montgomery's thugs are riding close behind, lured by a rumor of hidden gold.

Blaze has seen enough. The time has come to draw his Colt and protect the family that gave him his life.

Waiting for him at the end of the desolate trail is Sofia – Blaze’s one true love. His heroic determination can save their future, but all the love Blaze has ever known can just as easily be snuffed out by one of Jed’s .45s.

Can Blaze outshoot the last stand of the millionaire’s marauders? Or will he be doomed to haunt the ghost towns his love has left behind?

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Note: Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.

Good story and author.

The story line was good. I wish a real person could have read the story. The AI was so bad it was monotone all the way through the story, no emotion, no expression.

The ai narration leaves a lot to be desired

It’s probably a good story but the ai’s lack of inflection and monotone delivery just made it to hard to listen to

Same old, Same old

I'm a huge fan of westerns and this felt like the same old western. Why was he 16 and shooting all these men and outsmarting everyone? Not saying it doesn't ever happen, but this was literally unbelievable.

Worst virtual voice

I’ve listened to several stories narrated by virtual voice this was by far the worst
