    About this audiobook

    Considine and Pete Runyon had once been friends, and back in the days when both were cowhands. But when Runyon married the woman Considine loved, the two parted ways. Runyon settled down and become a sheriff. Considine took up robbing banks. Now Considine is planning a raid on the bank at Obaro, a plan that will pit him against Runyon . . . and lead to riches or suicide. The one thing he never counted on was meeting a strong, beautiful woman and her stubborn father, hell-bent on traveling alone through Apache territory to a new life. Suddenly, Considine must choose between revenge and redemption-and either choice could be the last one he makes.

      If possible I would give High Lonesome at least 10 stars. A very satisfying yarn brought to life by David Strathaire it’s narrator. I shall go to bed tonight with memories of horses, gun fire filled battle, brave men and vivid desert scenes as well as a picture of a special young lady of a girl still bringing into the picture one of love and tenderness.
      Having read this book a good while back I enjoyed hearing it and thank the narrator for bringing it all to life.

      What a story teller. Never a bad one from that great man.
    • 2/5
      As I've said before, westerns are not my favorite genre, not even close. But I still try to stretch myself by reading things that I may not normally choose. Such is the case with this one.

      And I didn't like it. The story was very elementary, too simple, really, which is probably why I don't like this genre. It's too simple. Give me complexity and twists.

      I listened to the Audible version narrated by David Strathairn. He's an outstanding actor, but his droning voice did nothing to capture my attention. This is one case in which I probably would have liked the printed version better. Maybe I'll reread this one day in paperback format.

      Excellent. Fast read, but powerful.
    • 4/5
      The notorious Considine and his band rob the bank in Obaro, but they're faced with the decision of making a run for the border, or helping out an old man and his daughter under attack by the Apaches. A Western classic that proves that the even the toughest gunslinger is not beyond redemption.
    • 3/5
