Synopsis

Trueman Rock is a daring young cowboy and rider. Six years ago he had to leave the cowtown of Wagontongue because of a history of gunfights and run-ins with bad hombres. Since then, he’s become a man who only uses his gun when he needs to, on rustlers and crooks. Now, he’s returning to his hometown. But things have changed. The town and its people aren’t what they used to be. He expects to find some of his enemies there to welcome him, but instead finds they’re all dead. In their place is the Preston family.The Prestons have just about taken over the town of Sunset Pass and reign supreme. But Trueman discovers that there’s a brooding mystery surrounding the Preston clan, centered on Ash, the eldest son. Ash is a cold, vicious, and slippery man. Unfortunately for Trueman, he finds himself falling in love with Thiry Preston, Ash’s sister. Ash holds a jealous love for her and she’ll do just about anything he says, and he’s ruined more than one love-struck cowboy before Trueman came along.Trueman Rock’s quest to win over the girl he’s fallen for brings him face-to-face with the sinister true face of the Preston clan and their control of Wagontongue, and he must confront them to be with Thiry and save the town he loves. Sunset Pass, first published in 1931, is another dramatic tale of the West by Zane Grey.

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey (January 31, 1872–October 23, 1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife, Lina Roth (Dolly) Grey, published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his bestselling book. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

Goodreads review by Fredrick on April 25, 2016

A romantic Western from the early 1900s when explicit sex and profanity were not the writer's crutch like modern Westerns. This a Romeo and Juliet type story after the hero returns home after a six year absence.......more

Goodreads review by Johnny on August 28, 2017

Zane Grey fills a weird space in the writing world. Sunset Pass is listed as a Western, and by rights it is set in a Western theme. But there is more romance and far less action then has been seen in books actually marketed as chic lit. This novel read super fast. A very light, easy read that was co......more

Goodreads review by Norman on May 03, 2018

Sunset Pass was the first Zane Grey novel I have read were as I have seen many of his stories on the screen. This novel was not as I expected based on all the presentations of his stories that I have seen. All in all, even though it was well written, this particular book left me feeling as if a good......more

Goodreads review by JENNIFER A. OKIN on April 05, 2020

A sappy love story more than anything.... If you are looking for an action packed western this IS NOT it. Page after page of flowery prose about the protagonists courtship. UGH. Book could be half as long if that was trimmed down. Had to force my way through it. Zane Grey has much better to chose fro......more
