Arizona Ames

This late-period Zane Grey is one of the best of his novels. Rich Ames didnt set out to be a gunslinger it was forced on him.

• After the bad guys try to ruin his twin sister Nesta, Ames grabs his pistols and the bloody gunfight follows.

Unfortunately, his criminal actions forces him to flee from his beloved Nesta and his happy Tonto Rim home, pursued by the law and vengeful family members. Rich soon acquired the name Arizona Ames and for years after that fateful day his name struck fear into the hearts of bad men all over the West.

• Arizona Ames is a classic western full of thrill and adventure, written by the granddaddy of them all Zane Grey.

Certainly he was quick with a six-gun; to be sure there were many notches in the Colt he threw with such lightning rapidity; but at his core he was a good man, forced into a life of wandering for protecting his kin.
