Yet starvation has a way of changing a man and so, armed only with his attitude and a hungry belly, Petey finds his way to the headquarters of the Arizona Rangers looking for a job.Petey also finds a new ornery personality; he claims to be the toughest man around from Kansas City to N'Orleans, a man so tough he'd give a rattler nightmares. But when the chief Ranger, Captain Shannon, calls Petey's bluff and sends him after the most dangerous desperado in the state, Petey must discover what it really means to be Ranger - tough. ALSO INCLUDES THE WESTERN STORIES ''THE RANCH THAT NO ONE WOULD BUY'' AND ''SILENT PARDS'' ''With the flair of a Louis L'Amour or Zane Grey..'' - True West

About the Author

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 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

"I was not at all surprised at the production being just as superb but I was surprised that I now look forward to listening to another Hubbard Western story.  The two aspects that sold me are the excellent vocal skills of all the actors and the realistic but subtle sound effects, even the rattlesnakes sound like they can strike if you get to close to the speakers." —Gil Wilson

From the Publisher

Young cowhand Petey McGuire, played with a sweet comic touch by voice impressionist and animation actor Josh Robert Thompson, is down on his luck, and he hopes that joining up with the legendary Arizona Rangers might at least afford him a decent meal. But he knows he’s going to have to act tough and talk tough. L. Ron Hubbard liked telling tales that had a little lesson in them, and what better setting for a fable than America’s Old West? The story is loaded with the sounds of galloping horses, jangling spurs, and nifty 1960s-style spaghetti-Western guitar licks as the fastest gun in the West finds out that to take on the meanest outlaws and win the girl, you just might have to grow up.
