A bumper collection of three classic Zane Grey Western adventures: Riders of the Purple Sage, The Trail Driver, and Rangers of the Lone Star. This collection of classic Zane Grey Western adventures comprises three of his most famous bestsellers. Riders of the Purple Sage is a thrilling saga set in the Utah/Arizona border country, featuring a despicable villain and a straight-shootin' hero in a tale of passion, rivalry and revenge. The Trail Driver harbours a bizarre secret - a heroine disguised as a boy - among a cast of hard-bitten, weather-beaten characters driving four thousand head of cattle north out of Texas, braving the weather, marauding outlaws and hostile Indians along the way. Rangers of the Lone Star has Texas Ranger Russ Sittell working undercover on a ranch to break a rustling ring, a dangerous assignment made all the more hazardous by the fact that the rance owner is the local Mayor, a powerful man who doesn't take kindly to interfering strangers. For Western fans who have ridden before with Zane Grey, these three epic tales are a perfect way to get back in the saddle, and for any greenhorn cow pokes, this is a sure-fire way to sample a little of life in the wild west.
