Rio Hondo

By: Matt Braun

Narrated by: George Guidall

In a land of long red sunsets, Clint and Virgil Brannock had carved out a sweeping cattle spread along the lush banks of the Rio Hondo. But now Clint has been called away to fight in the Apache wars, and Virgil, driven by his ambition, is corralling mustangs on the Llando Estscado. With their family ranch in New Mexico territory threatened by men of greed and power, men who send murderers to do their dirty work, the Brannocks can only turn to one another—to hold onto an empire they have built with their sweat and blood.

Great listen...

If you like descriptive western stories that follow multiple trails, many leading to one end then this is a good pick. Very descriptive would remind you of a L'amour where the details give you a mental image, combine that with the good narration and you can watch the story unfold in your imagination.

Engaging!

Love George Guidell! The characters are people to admire. Completely enjoying the series. Can't wait to listen to the next audiobook.

Best Western writer of all time

Rio Hondo is an incredibly good book. In my opinion Matt Braun is the best of all the Western writers and this is definately one of his best. Exciting, entertaining, educational etc. I couldn't stop listening.

A good and fun book.

A great listen with George Guidall as performer. This is a good old fashioned western. No surprises. But a very deep story as big as the old west.

Excellent book and performance

Very good story. The narration fits the genres very well. Highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Westerns.
