About this book
Rangy Pete by Guy Morton gallops into a sunbaked, high-stakes western adventure where a lone rider’s grit meets outlaw menace and unexpected romance. Set in the dusty reaches of Triple Butte, Morton’s 1920s tale follows the Gary Cooper–esque Rangy Pete as he confronts the Dervishers, an outlaw clan terrorizing a peaceable frontier town. Along the way Pete tangles with a striking blue-eyed girl-bandit who lures more than trouble—she lasso’s his heart amid gunfights, rodeo bravado, and tense showdowns.
Morton’s prose blends bold adventure, vivid landscape painting, and authentic cowboy argot, evoking the pulp-era energy that made his westerns popular across Britain and Australia. Themes of loyalty, honor, and the uneasy justice of the West pulse beneath the action, while the novel’s brisk pacing and cinematic scenes recall classic frontier storytelling of the early 20th century.
Perfect for listeners who love classic western fiction and fast-moving adventure, Rangy Pete offers rugged characters, romantic sparks, and old-school frontier drama—an ideal pick for fans of vintage westerns and narrated action on the prairie.
