Sunset Pass

A Western Story

By: Zane Grey

Narrated by: Russell Bentley

Trueman Rock is a daring young cowboy and rider. Six years ago he had to leave the cowtown of Wagontongue because of a history of gunfights and run-ins with bad hombres. Since then, he's become a man who only uses his gun when he needs to, on rustlers and crooks. Now, he's returning to his hometown. But things have changed. The town and its people aren't what they used to be. He expects to find some of his enemies there to welcome him, but instead finds they're all dead. In their place is the Preston family.

The Prestons have just about taken over the town of Sunset Pass and reign supreme. But Trueman discovers that there's a brooding mystery surrounding the Preston clan, centered on Ash, the eldest son. Ash is a cold, vicious, and slippery man. Unfortunately for Trueman, he finds himself falling in love with Thiry Preston, Ash's sister. Ash holds a jealous love for her and she'll do just about anything he says, and he's ruined more than one love-struck cowboy before Trueman came along.

Trueman Rock's quest to win over the girl he's fallen for brings him face-to-face with the sinister true face of the Preston clan and their control of Wagontongue, and he must confront them to be with Thiry and save the town he loves. Sunset Pass, first published in 1931, is another dramatic tale of the West by Zane Grey.

GREAT NARRATION

Don't listen to bad reviews about narration. Opinions are subjective and people prefer different styles. I love this guy's voice. I'll be looking for more of his narrations. A++

No emotion

Sounded like a computer voice and if the story wasn’t so good I would have not finished

Henry Higgens would be proud of the reader

the story is a typical western. however, the reader pronounced every syllable like a diction coach. it distracted from the storyline. I have never heard the H in hombre before.

Flunked on the narration

I love the story and I am a huge fan of the author but they should have used a full cast,I was disappointed with the reading of it.

Performance let the story down

Performance was very dry. No feeling in it. If rerecorded may get better reviews and more attention.
