Son of a Wanted Man: An Audio Dramatization (Abridged)

by Louis L'Amour Narrated by Dramatization

Overview

An outlaw's legacy...

In a remote corner of Utah lies the secret outlaw kingdom of Ben Curry. For fifteen years Curry has ruled supreme, as his men have pulled jobs from Canada to Mexico. But the king is getting old... he wants to turn his legacy over to someone younger, tougher. Mike Bastian is Ben's adopted son, a young man who can handle a knife, a gun, his fists, but a man who's never broken the law.

Now, as treachery explodes among Ben's riders, and two honest lawmen-Tyrel Sackett and Borden Chantry-begin to zero in on the gang, Mike must choose...between his loyalty to Ben and his yearning for a different life. Yet when the guns start echoing off the Vermilion Cliffs, the time for choosing is over-and the time for battle has begun.

Editorial Reviews

DEC 05/JAN 06 - AudioFile

This is a new-generation audio drama. Louis L'Amour's son and longtime audio producer, Beau L'Amour, brings listeners this fully dramatized and very human story of an aging outlaw (make that gentleman of opportunity) who hopes to bequeath his ill-gotten kingdom to his adopted son. Thirty-five actors and location recordings of horses, trains, raging streams, and gunshots give this adapted novel a lush and naturalistic sound. Terrance Mann's understated and sympathetic performance as narrator and a terrific original musical score by John Phillip Shenale tie the dramatic scenes together seamlessly. A wonderful archival interview with Louis L'Amour and a DVD-like "making of" feature round out this adventuresome project. B.P. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
