Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) is a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, "combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture." Consequently he is the best known author of novels about the Wild West. His great storytelling skills have been transferred to film over and over again. The Internet Movie Database credits Grey with 115 films as of April 2015. Read these books to find spectacular adventure scenes that cause you to eagerly devour every page.
