King of the Gunmen

by L. Ron Hubbard

Overview

They call him Suicide, Smoke or simply Sudden Death. His name is Kit Gordon, and he's tall and tough as a young John Wayne. Now he's about to discover that it takes more than a quick draw and a sure aim to stand up like a man. Falsely accused of murder, Kit escapes to the next county over - and a whole new identity. But drawn into a bloody feud, before it's over he'll have to reveal that he's a wanted man - or turn tail and run for his life.

About the Author

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

Editorial Reviews

"L. Ron Hubbard could handle the Western with the flair of a Louis L’Amour or Zane Grey.”—True West

"Whether your taste runs to riding tall in the saddle, high-flying adventure, or crime-busting on the mean streets, Hubbard delivers the goods.”—Library Journal

"Any reader of  Western Yarns, Western Aces, Western Action and The Rio Kid Western, knew of a Hubbard who pounded his Remington typewriter, throwing a wide loop over the land of his beginnings.”—True West

“L. Ron Hubbard was born in 1911 and raised in Montana. His youth was filled with an extraordinary amount of adventurous travel which served him well when he began publishing.

"Legendary output of stories in every major (and minor) genre. He wrote Westerns, swashbucklers, air adventure, mysteries, espionage thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, tales of the Orient, sea tales, and even Yukon tales in the tradition of Jack London." —Antique Trader Magazine

"Delightfully over-the-top audio theater performances."—AudioFile Magazine

"Each of these of these outstanding audio books are two hour productions characterized by talented multi-cast performances, which are enhanced
with impressive special effects and thematic music. Flawless technical recordings, each and every one of these very special audio books provides the listener with a true 'theatre of the mind' experience." —Midwest Book Review

From the Publisher

Fans of gunslinging Westerns are sure to enjoy this well-produced audio program. Two short stories are made even more exciting with fitting music and realistic sound effects. The perfectly cast character voices make the heroes, villains, cowhands, rowdy townsfolk, and sassy women come to life. These stories, published in the 1930s, sound more like timeless classics than some of Hubbard’s other Golden-Age offerings. “King of the Gunmen” finds ace gunslinger Kit Gordon on the right side of the law, helping to bring peace to a town in conflict. “The No-Gun Gunhawk” features the son of a legendary gunman who refuses to carry firearms. The fast-paced stories and high-quality production make this a captivating audio experience. M.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
