Rye Tyler was twelve when his father was killed in an Indian raid. Taken in by a mysterious stranger with a taste for books and an instinct for survival, Rye is schooled in the hard lessons of life in the West. But after killing a man, he is forced to leave his new home. He rides lonely mountain passes and works on dusty cattle drives until he finds a job breaking horses. Then he meets Liza Hetrick, and in her eyes he sees his future. After establishing himself as marshal of Alta, he returns, only to discover that Liza has been kidnapped. Tracking her to Robbers’ Roost, Rye is forced to face the man who taught him all he knows about books, guns, and friendship. Two old friends—one woman: Who will walk away?

      Rye Tyler grows up fast. At age 12, when his father is killed by Indians, he must fend for himself in the untamed, violent West. Jason Culp's textured voice is just right for characters who are decent but rough--"born with the bark on." Rye is especially likable, with his soft drawl and will to survive. Others in the story are also engaging, and display Culp's vocal range. When he moves from the predominantly Western twang to a polished lawyerly voice, it's a genuine surprise. Culp also thoughtfully dramatizes Rye's inner wanderings as he ponders what it means to take a life and what kind of man he's turning into, reflections that give depth and life to a portrait of the West in its rough-and-tumble infancy.
