About this audiobook
Joe Harbin hadn't killed a man for a fortune in gold just to sit in prison and let Rodelo collect it. But when he and his men break out and head for the stash, they end up with a pair of unwelcome partners: Rodelo and a beautiful woman with a hidden past. To get fifty thousand dollars in gold across fifty miles of desert, the desperate band quickly learns how much they need each other--and how deep their greed and suspicion can run. At the end of the journey lie the waters of Baja and a new life in Mexico, but first they have to survive the savage heat, bounty-hunting Yaqui Indians, and the shifting, treacherous nature of both the desert sands and their own conflicting loyalties.

Reviews for Kid Rodelo
86 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good fast read like all of of Louis L'amour's books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice western from L'Amour. Various people are after a buried cache of $50,000 gold from a holdup. The first man after it was not so lucky as we find him dead in the first paragraph of the novel following a prison break. Others find the gold and it makes things interesting. A somewhat mysterious good looking woman adds to the intrigue, as they try to escape across the desert. The story had a good start but dragged a bit after a while despite being a short novel. We needed more from the characters than we were given early on. The story does pick back up however and slowly the mysteries unfold.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Escape from the prison at Yuma was nearly impossible. And once a man escaped, where was there to go but the desert? But a small group of men desperate enough to take the chance are heading for the border when they find a lovely girl looking for her own escape.
