About this audiobook
In Mustang Man, Louis L'Amour takes Nolan Sackett on a dangerous journey into family betrayal, greed, and murder.
When Nolan Sackett met Penelope Hume in a cantina at Borregos Plaza, the girl immediately captured his attention. That she was heir to a lost cache of gold didn't make her any less desirable. But Penelope isn't the only one after her grandfather's treasure; Sylvie, Ralph, and Andrew Karnes, distant relatives with no legal claim to the gold, are obsessed with claiming the Hume fortune for themselves. Their all-consuming sense of entitlement recklessly drives them to ambush and murder. Even if Sackett and Penelope are fortunate enough to escape this deadly trio and find the canyon where the gold is hidden, Indian legend has it that nothing will live there-no birds or insects. They say it is filled with the bones of men.
From the Paperback edition.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this installment of the Sackett series our protagonist is Nolan Sackett, one of a set of twins, and a member of the Clinch Mountain Sackett families. He's big, rough and tough, but with a soft heart for a pretty young lady who needs a knight in shining armor...or does she? Good read, highly enjoyable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another book in the Sackett series, this features Nolan Sackett who is an outlaw with a heart of gold -- or is that a heart that lusts after gold? Never you worry, Nolan is a Sackett and a good man who will no doubt save the day and the girl. This is a quick-read Western and I enjoyed it.If you like Westerns, you'll probably like this one, too.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh. I'm starting to get a tad tired of the formula that Louis sticks with in his characters:
* They aren't any good with "womanfolks".
* The conflict is always over gold.
* The main character is a drifter.
* The main character can't read.
* The main character gets the girl.
* The main character is moral to a fault.
* Everyone is fantastic trackers.
Just for once, I would like to read one of hist westerns that involves card players, or a bartender, or a shop keeper, a rancher, sheriff, something. Hopefully, out of the Sackett series, that happens.
In this case, the main character is an "outlaw", yet full of moralities and honesty. You read about him previously in another novel, and you get the impression that he's anything but a boy scout. So, the discontinuity is hard to get past. And, as is standard with all L'Amour novels, the book comes to an abrupt end, not really tying the story down. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Although it is 14th in the series, this was the first book in the Sackett saga I read. I loved it. I didn't think at first this was the book for me because it's a western, but I was so wrong. I got pulled into the story from page one. Louis L'Amour is wonderful at setting the stage and I was instantly drawn in. I found it to be a wonderful story, with lovable characters, and a brilliant plot. These books is lke the Lays potato chip commercials except "You can't read just one." Since reading it, I have been searching out other books in the saga to read. I am now reading the 5th book "Ride the River" with Echo Sackett.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nathan Hume died hard, but not before he hid three hundred pounds of gold in a box canyon in the Rabbit Ears. Nathan Sackett has never ducked trouble, but when he agreed to guide Penelope Hume and her party west, he bought himself a right into a shooting match with a bunch of back-shooting, poisoning, thieves and murderers, and if that's not bad enough, he just might be in love. How L'Amour packed so much into so few pages is beyond me, but I never fail to enjoy reading about the trouble the Sacketts get themselves into. And out of.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a good story despite the fact that Nolan Sackett is indistinguishable from Tell and Flagan Sackett. Based around a real place and real events.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sackett is escaping a band of Mexicans and a noose on back of a stolen horse. Nolan Sackett is passing through Indian country, and comes across a wagon with a girl (Sylvie), her brothers (Ralph& Andrew). They are stranded without horses, and seem ready to kill Sackett for his ride. He is of course not going to let this happen. Not trusting them, he still agrees to go after their horses that have been led off by another cowboy. Later he rides through a war party of Kiowas, escaping only by not allowing them to see his fear. When stopping in a Mexican village, he agrees to guide a young girl (Penelope) along with her escorts Mr. Lumos and Flinch through the canyon. When he mentions the group he ran across, and his mistrust for them, his suspicions seem confirmed when he notices the expressions of alarm on their faces. Nolan learns that Penelope is traveling in search of a gold inheritance, and Sylvie (near relative) heard about the treasure when listening to the reading of Penelope's grandmother's will. Sylvie will stop at nothing to get the gold, and it is beginning to seem as if Penelope's traveling partners may have hidden motives for escorting her. Nolan agrees to guide them to a place called "Rabbit Ears," between two mountains, once there he is paid for his services and dismissed. But, Nolan can't leave after thinking of the danger Penelope faces. He turns back and after a number of shooting confrontations with various parties, he rescues Penelope and they ride off together with the gold. La'mour didn't make Penelope seem so helpless towards the end, and I liked the fact that she stood up for herself and showed her strength. Nolan was a rugged outlaw with a kind heart. I learned a lot about survival and how to read people from Nolan's tactics and his encounters with Indians, and criminals.
