Lonesome Range

by John Nesbitt Narrated by Ken Marks

Overview

John D. Nesbitt has written more than a dozen traditional Westerns, including Rancho Alegre. In Lonesome Range he carves out new territory. When Lane, an office clerk, falls in love with the wife of a powerful land developer, their affair is soon discovered. But instead of facing her husband in a showdown, Lane moves to a remote ranch, where he develops a self-sufficiency that forces him to question the nature of his love.

Editorial Reviews

APR/MAY 08 - AudioFile

This unusual Western is more about forbidden love, tyranny, and the isolation of the plains country of Wyoming in the late 1800s than about gunfights. Ken Marks's flat intonations and Middle-American accent are perfect for depicting bookish office clerk Lane Weller. Lane finds his soul mate, Cora, but, tragically, she is married to wealthy bully Lyle McGavin. Nesbitt creates realistic, colorful characters but rather stuffy, unnatural dialogue, which Marks manages to bring alive. He depicts Cora and the other female characters without artificiality or strain. When the lovers are forced apart, Marks’s voice is tight with emotion, making listeners hope for a happy ending.
