The Light of Western Stars has one of Zane Grey's best heroines and the story is told from a woman's perspective. The Border Legion has one of Zane Grey's worst villains whose way with a woman was a rope and a cave. Wildfire has one of Zane Grey's greatest animal characters along with a love story between a lonely wild horse hunter and a girl longing for someone to love. The U. P. Trail is the grandest historical novel Zane Grey penned with a cast full of characters large enough to fill a miniseries. Only the Lone Star Ranger is not up to Zane Grey's standards, in my opinion. Perhaps that is because it was the work of his editors at Harpers who put two novels together to form this book. All in all this is still worth buying because of the other four books.
