| A perfect role for a young Robert Redford, saddle tramp Petey McGuire doesnâ t have much to live for. The trail in front of him stretches out long and hot, and thereâ s no end in sight. Heâ s been beaten down, beaten up, and kicked around so long, heâ d run away from his own shadow if he could. But thereâ s one fight he canâ t run fromâ the fight against hunger.Petey needs a job quick, before he drops dead in the dust. But the only way to get one is to act cool and talk toughâ in other words, become the exact opposite of Petey McGuire. Putting on a performance worthy of a Shakespearean actor, he succeeds all too wellâ landing in the saddle with the Arizona Rangers. Talking tough is one thing, but backing it up is another. Because Peteyâ s about to discover exactly what it takesâ and how much he has to riskâ to face the meanest outlaw, win the prettiest girl, and become The Toughest Ranger.Born and raised in the twilight of the Old Westâ from Nebraska plain to the mountains of Montanaâ L. Ron Hubbard grew up in the company of real cowboys and rugged frontiersmen, even becoming a blood brother to a Blackfoot medicine man. His firsthand knowledge allowed him to instill a grit and authenticity into his stories that made him one of the leading writers of Westerns, publishing a total of 34 of them by the 1950s.Also includes the Western adventures, Silent Pards, in which an old prospector takes on a couple of wicked enemies with the help of some surprising friends, and The Ranch That No One Would Buy, the story of a young stranger whoâ s about to pull off a killer of a deception.â An exciting Western story filled with both action and adventure.â â Mommyâ s Favorite Things |

"The story is loaded with the sounds of galloping horses, jangling spurs, and nifty 1960s-style spaghetti-Western guitar licks." -- AudioFile
