Last Stand at Papago Wells

A Novel

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Jason Culp

It was the only water for miles in a vast, sun-blasted desert where water meant survival. So Logan Cates naturally headed for Papago Wells. But he wasn’t the only one. Fleeing the fierce Churupati and his Apache warriors, other travelers had come there too. And when the Apaches found them, they began a siege as relentless and unforgiving as the barren land…and just as inescapable.

The last thing Cates wanted was to be responsible for the lives of thirteen desperate strangers and a shipment of gold. But he knew that if they were to survive, he was their last chance. He also knew that some in the party were willing to die—or kill—to get their hands on the money. If he couldn’t get them to work together, it wouldn’t be the desert or even the Apaches that would do them in—it would be the greed of the very people he was trying to save.

Classic L'Amour

Classic L'Amour told well, well read , lots of action. The good guy wins again and wins the lady

Excellent story.

Narrator was excellent . I had trouble putting this story down. Highly recommend this story

First listening

The story is a good one. The number of characters makes it a little confusing at first. The part concerning the amount of firewood was a stretch. The desert is a very harsh environment and the battle with the Indians seems extremely accurate. I’ll listen again and see if the story flows more smoothly.

Love

Love this story. Different characters all coming together in one place with a common problem.

Typical L'Amour, wonderful as always.

A great story with a very good narration. Leaves you wishing for another book to continue the story.
