The Forgotten Rider

A Historical Western Adventure Novel

By: Austin Grayson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After a violent train robbery, a stranger is left for dead, with no memory of who he is. Rescued by the rancher Sam Garrett and his widowed sister Sarah, he takes the name "Jack" and begins the slow road to recovery, never knowing if the men who attacked him will return to finish the job…

Grateful for their kindness, Jack works to repay them. He has a natural way with horses, yet no memory of the life he left behind. The more time he spends at the ranch, the stronger his bond grows with Sarah, a bond shadowed by the mystery of who he was before the robbery.

But Copper Valley is no safe haven. A ruthless cattle baron is tightening his grip on the land, and Jack is drawn into the fight to protect the family that sheltered him. When his memories return, will they make him a hero or prove he’s the greatest danger of all?

Tropes: Train Robbery, Amnesia, Redemption Story, Found Family.

"The Forgotten Rider" is a historical adventure novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cliffhangers, only pure unadulterated action.

An oft told story of a mysterious stranger who rides in and saves the day.

The story had much potential that was not developed well. Also, the lack of proofreading and decent editing hampered development and flow of the story,which, is one that is often told. Another big detractor is the delivery by virtual voice in the recognition and use of punctuation, pronunciation and inflection. I hope virtual voice will become better over time?
