The Trail to Peach Meadow Canyon

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Jim Gough

Orphaned as a child, Mike Bastian was taken in by the legendary outlaw Ben Curry, and raised and trained to take over his empire of crime. Today, Mike is the quickest draw and the stealthiest tracker around, and Ben Curry is getting ready to retire. To test Mike's wings, he has set him a task: the planning and execution of a gold-train robbery.

Now, as he prepares for his first criminal job, Mike must decide whether to follow the path that has been set before him or to carve out a destiny of his own. If he assumes the position of gang leader, he will face deadly competition from within Curry's band, but if he refuses, he may not be allowed to leave the pack alive. The dilemma is further complicated when he falls for Drusilla, Ben Curry's real daughter, who knows nothing of her father's career. Either way Mike chooses, a showdown is in store.

Makes me think of home

These books remind me of being at Papaw and grandmas house with my cousin and uncle watching Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Lone Ranger, or even a John Wayne movie while had lunch after working the ranch all morning.

Needs editing

Classic Lamour. Jim Gough did an outstanding job of narrating but the recording studio did not edit his performance. Many instances of repeated lines, coughs, throat clearing, etc. These were distractions from a good story and storyteller.

Good L’Amour classic, but poor audio quality

The narrator sounded just like an old cowhand. I enjoyed his voice.
But, like others had noted, the audio quality was very poor.
1) clearly no editing had been done
2) the audio “tone” changed several times as if different equipment had been switched out and back again.
3) His occasional stumbles (natural enough) and coughs/clearing voice were left in.
At first, it was easy to overlook, but towards the past couple of chapters it became disruptive.
Audible should pull this book and do some editing before rereleasing it.

BAD EDITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book was good, the voice actor was good also. I stopped counting how many mistakes were left in. Easily more than 100 mistakes. Just plain sorry!!!!!!

Okay story, poor audio editing.

Rather a simplistic L'Amore story. The narrator has a great gravelly "old-timer" kind of voice that goes well with the story.

The "BAD" part of the story is the audio editing, or rather the lack of it. Many times during the narration, you hear the narrator clear his throat, repeat words, pause in the wrong place or repeat sentences. Also, there are a few places where he restarts reading and the volume level is off.

I have listened to several L'Amore titles, owned by Blackstone Audio, on Audible the past several weeks and this one doesn't show Blackstone in a good light.
