Ralph Compton: Showdown at Two-Bit Creek

By Joseph A. West and Ralph Compton

Book Overview

In this Ralph Compton western, home is a battlefield.... Buck Fletcher, infamous shootist, was once a boy raised in a cabin near Two-Bit Creek in Montana. Returning home to pay his respects at his parents' graves, Buck finds an unconscious woman in the woods--bleeding from a head wound. She might be the victim of a range war that's brewing in the territory. Buck soon finds himself drawn into the escalating conflict--courted by one side, threatened by the other. What the feuding ranchers don't realize is that Buck's guns aren't for sale--and if anyone gives him trouble, he'll start shooting lead for free....

Ralph Compton-Showdown at Two-Bit Creek

This book on cd was bought as a gift for my grandfather who loves to read but has lost some of his sight. He has enjoyed listening to his favorite westerns now, this being one of them. I have bought several of them for him now.

Showdown At Two Bit Creek, cassette version is as good as can be. Narrated by Mr. Texas, Jim Gough. The narrator is different and inferior on the CD version. Back to the cassette. There are sound effects too. A good western story with some mystery too and many witticisms. For example: - I'm not a man that likes to be stampeded. - He was a man to ride the river with. - He knew every last grain of sand had run through the hour glass; the time for talk was over. Buy the cassette version, you won't be disappointed even if you have to pay $25 as I did. Don't buy the CD version.
