About this audiobook
Zane Grey
American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.

Reviews for The Mysterious Rider

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Classic western with a mysterious twist. The reader was great!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well, I have always heard about Zane Grey, but this is my first western read. I expected it to be rather like The Lone Ranger or Maverick --the television westerns I grew up with.Instead, it was a romance, pure and simple. Set in an age where men were men and women strong. Sure could have surprised me! But it was also a book written by a nature-lover. No one could wax so lyrical over a geography without love.I doubt I will ever be tempted to pick up another Grey, but I am glad I read this.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An enjoyable story for a cold Sunday afternoon by the fire. Not the deepest book you'll read, but the characters have a little more depth than the typical Zane Grey and the descriptions of Colorado wilderness are perfect.
