Ronicky Doone's Reward

by Max Brand, Roger Dressler (Narrator)

When Ronicky Doone arrives in Twin Springs, he finds himself in the midst of a deadly feud between two rival families. The stakes are high - honor, revenge, and rich ranch land. Though the townsmen favor the Jenkinses, Ronicky is drawn to the Bennetts - and especially the beautiful Elsie Bennett. As the struggle builds up in violence and shifting alliances, only Ronicky has the power to restore the peace.

Reviews

[Mateo Tomas]

2.5

Third and final book in Max Brands Ronicky Doone series. Stand alone, doesnt reference or depend on prior stories.

The writing is good but the story never connects. Its a threadbare setup that goes on and on, elements added that never feel like stakes. Unlike the prior two adventures of Ronicky, this one doesnt feel like he needs to be caught up in other peoples business.

Best part is a character named Curley whos a fool and liar and something of a comic relief until he isnt.

[Mike Grady]

A good, solid entry into the Ronicky Doone trilogy.

[Michael P.]

The study of pulp writing and writers continues. This book is not without interest, but would be twice as good at half the length.
