Synopsis

“Fatal and terrible forever to Joan would be the significance of gold. Did any woman in the world or any man know the meaning of gold as well as she knew it?”Joan Randall, whip-smart and spirited, has taken off into the vast wilderness after her would-be fiancé, Jim Cleve. The well-off young woman must brave the harsh landscape to find him, but Jim is not the only man out there in the open country: Jack Kells and his fearsome band of outlaws known as the Border Legion roam the land causing trouble. When Joan and Jack meet, the dangerous man is instantly taken with her and offers her protection. Now, as a captive and almost-member of this crew, Joan must navigate the unforgiving terrain and the uncertain politics of this gang of criminals … and her own increasingly complicated feelings.In this tale of redemption, adventure, and love, master of the Western, Zane Grey, explores both the natural beauty of the American frontier and the complex psychology of Joan, Jack, and the other minds living and fighting for survival—and gold—in the Southwestern desert.

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey® (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

Goodreads review by Oliver on June 05, 2024

For a big chunk of this book I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it, but then in the end I kind of loved it. Overlong, melodramatic, somewhat plotless, but it has a great atmosphere and some really gripping set pieces.......more

Goodreads review by John on February 10, 2022

This fast paced novel is unlike many of Grey's earlier works in that he is not so concerned about the description of the landscape as he is about the probing of man's nature, particularly when that nature is affected by outside influences such as peer pressure, possible affluence, and evil.

Goodreads review by Jorie on July 18, 2021

Not perfect, but it did so many things right! It almost pains me not to give it 5 stars, but I'm too stubborn to.

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on February 02, 2016

Written in 1912, it reflects its time period. The heroine is spunky and virtuous, the villains are horrible but capable of redemption. It is a fun read, especially if you want to slip away to yesteryear.......more

Even consistently good authors have so-so books.......more
