From one of the most beloved Western authors comes an epic historical tale of adventure and romance in the great wilderness. Against the epic backdrop of the building of the Union Pacific Railroad across plains and deserts and through the mountains to meet up with the Southern Pacific in Utah comes a sprawling, historical tale. Warren Neale is a brilliant civil engineer who is constantly confronted with construction problems. He is sided by Larry Red King, a Texas gunfighter and friend. Allie Lee, who is heading east from California on a wagon train, is the sole survivor of an Indian raid in the Black Hills. Neale and a small company of US cavalry find Allie hidden at the scene and nearly out of her mind in terror. Al Slingerland, a trapper and buffalo hunter, has a cabin in a nearby valley, and Allie is taken there to recover.Benton is the wild town set up overnight to service the vices of the multitude of railroad workers. The only law is that which the soldiers impose, but their concern is not really in enforcing law in Benton, but in protecting the men laying the tracks and the supply trains. In addition to the natural obstacles that impede the building of the Union Pacific, workers must contend with the equally great weight of constant graft and corruption, against which Larry Red King's guns can afford no protection. In this magnificent panorama of constant danger and adventure, the many lives involved, including ruthless gamblers and women of the evening, and the slow but monumental progress of the laying of the track through the wilderness, Zane Grey vividly brings to life a lost time and society in a grand novel, now published as he had first written it.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old West. Westerns-books about outlaws, sheriffs, chiefs and warriors, cowboys and Indians-are a genre in which we publish regularly. Our list includes international bestselling authors like Zane Gray and Louis L'Amour, and many more.

The Trail Driver

After his first successful venture of moving 2,500 cattle along the infamous Chisholm Trail, Adam Brite couldn't resist the allure of a second drive. To prepare for his greatest and most dangerous prospect yet, Brite begins purchasing cattle at every possible opportunity he gets and searching for an able crew to aid him in the arduous journey from San Antonio to Dodge City. He recruits a diverse cast of characters all left penniless after the Civil War: Trail boss and veteran driver Joe Shipman; Alabama Moze, the cook; Hal Bender, a friendly brute; The Uvalde quintet, a strapping group all under the age of twenty; and Pan Handle Smith, a striking Texas outlaw who never sleeps. As they begin their journey north, Brite looks over the vast western landscape and his men attempting to herd the thousands of cattle from afar. In spite of the awe-inspiring scene, he grows fearful that Indians or inclement weather may make the excursion too dangerous with such a limited amount of drivers. As Brite begins to doubt the operation, a mysterious, young drifter named Reddie Bayne rides into their camp, and Brite offers him a job. Shortly afterwards, two unwanted guests arrive at the camp searching for the boy, and Brite quickly realizes that Bayne is not what he seems. In this classic western tale by Zane Grey, raging rivers, powerful storms, stampedes, treachery, trail rustlers, and Comanche Indian raiders threaten the outfit and their stock along the trail. However, the greatest surprise lies right within the outfit, when an unlikely heroine appears-a young girl disguised as a cowboy.

Ayesha (Ella)

Hemos grabado esta estupenda novela de aventuras en un sonolibro, con toda clase de efectos especiales y música de ambientación. Estamos seguros de que la vais a disfrutar, ya sea en un viaje largo, o paseando, o haciendo tareas en casa."- ¿Un pueblo salvaje? ¿Qué pueblo?- No puedo darte ahora muchos detalles. Confórmate con saber que aquella reina, en circunstancias que ya averiguarás algún día, acabó por asesinar a Kalíkrates. La princesa egipcia, su viuda, consiguió escapar y llegar, no sé cómo, a Atenas, donde dio a luz un hijo al que llamó Tisísthenes, que quiere decir El Poderoso Vengador."Quinientos años o más, después de esto, la familia emigró a Roma en condiciones que ignoro, porque no quedan rastros. Allí, probablemente con la idea de alentar el espíritu de venganza que empezó a infundirse a sus descendientes desde Tisísthenes, la familia asumió regularmente el apellido Vindex, o sea, El Vengador. Este nombre se transformaría en Vincey quinientos años más tarde, cuando su descendiente directo pasó a Inglaterra, alcanzando, en tiempos de Guillermo el Conquistador, grandes honores.- Pero, amigo mío, yo te conozco bien, y nunca me has dicho que los Vincey fueran nobles..."
