Speedy [Audiobook, CD, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Max Brand (Author), Dick Hill (Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 2010

He arrived on an iron horse. And when the train pulled away, the town had a boxcar full of trouble. He went by the name of Speedy. Some called him a tramp - and others called him worse. Speedy was a young con man who knew the fastest way to a rich man's wallet and a pretty girl's heart. To Speedy, Durfee didn't look any different from a hundred other towns he'd seen before. There were fat bankers waiting for his smooth talk, and lovely young ladies ready to swoon over his smile and his guitar playing. But this time the charming trickster was about to meet his match - in a girl out to steal his heart!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to put down once I got started. Top notch western., February 5, 1997

This review is from: Speedy (Mass Market Paperback)

Speedy is the story of an amazingly talented young man who uses his speed and agility to confound his enemies. This story is very fun to read and not a sentence of it is boring or slow paced

This review is from: Speedy (Mass Market Paperback)

I discovered Frederick Faust stories some months ago - they are delightfully written - much better reads than the clunky, predictible, bloody Louis Lamore and the romantic pablum of Zane Grey.

Faust's western had a wonderful combination of humor, pathos, reality - all wrapped up in a very readable "tale".

Speedy the character is a work of art and a true non-"Western" hero - he never uses guns.

Try also his "Song of the Whip" written under Evan Evans.
