"No man has employed the Western story formula with better results." --The New York Times

From the legendary writer of the west: two complete novels in one low-priced edition.

Desert Gold

While rescuing a lovely Spanish maiden from Mexican rebels, former Union soldier Dick Gale partners up with a pair of rough-hewn cowboys. The three men take refuge on the ranch of Al Belding, where Gale finds a new mission helping breed fine horses and carving a settlement out of the wild landscape. But angry, greedy men have their eyes on the rich ranchlands—and the beautiful women who live there.

The Light of Western Stars

Searching for her brother Al, Maddie Hammond gets off the transcontinental railroad in the middle of the night, in a New Mexico town full of drunken, dangerous men. A hard-bitten cowboy drags her before a priest and insists that they be married—until he hears her name. Al Hammond, a ranch foreman, holds the loyalties of many cowboys and ranchers, whom he defends from cruel lawmen and Mexican rebels alike. Maddie eagerly joins the struggle for freedom.

About the Author

ZANE GREY is widely and justifiably considered “the father of the western,” as he published nearly one hundred books, most of them novels of the American frontier. His fiction spanned the decades from the Revolutionary War, as in the biographical Betty Zane, to the turmoil-filled years of the Civil War and the post-war period of westward expansion.

Grey’s best-known work may be the classic Riders of the Purple Sage, which has been adapted for film five times (most recently in 1996). More than 100 films have been based on Grey’s works, beginning in the silent film era and continuing into modern times; including both The U.P. Trail and The Call of the Canyon. It’s estimated that more than 40 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide.
