The Rustlers of Pecos County [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Zane Grey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1980

Texas was a huge wide place full of frontiersmen, ranchers, farmers, cowpokes, shiftless no-accounts, shootists, rascals, and politicians -- all of them blended together into a single state. The Rangers -- lawmen, Texas Rangers -- were outnumbered a thousand to one, and in one county -- Pecos county -- the law was all but helpless. Until Ranger Vaughn Steel went to Pecos, looking for revenge. . . .

This review is from: The Rustlers of Pecos County (Kindle Edition)

I enjoyed this book, but it's not like any Zane grey book I have read previously. Makes me wonder if he wrote it in conjunction with one of his kids--or if it's a Loren Zane Grey book but the publisher left off the "Loren" part? It has some of Zane's quirks of language, which I love, but not consistently and there are other bits of language that are uncharacteristic of him (more uses of "damn" or "hell" than I have found in any of his other books, for instance), and far more focus on the love interest than I have found in any of his other works.

Anyway, it's a good book but I can't get past the idea that I'm reading someone else who is trying to write like Zane Grey but not quite making it. I guess the joke's on me if it really were written by Grey.
