Bloodsport
About this audiobook
He’s a sporting man—with a scheme as big and bold as Texas.
Dan Stuart plans to stage the prizefight of the century and reap a million-dollar gate. But soon he finds the path to riches strewn with obstacles.
Outraged politicians block Stuart at every turn, and a gang of robbers led by a sharp-shooting beauty has plans of its own: the heist of the century. Stuart has two champion pugilists, five gunmen, Bat Masterson, and Judge Roy Bean in his corner.
Now, with his team set to score and the Texas Rangers hot on his trail, the West’s first boxing promoter is desperately searching for a place to hold his fight. And when he finds it, what a hell of a fight it will be.
About the author
Matt Braun (1932–2016) was the author of forty-four novels and four nonfiction works, including Black Fox, which was made into a CBS miniseries. He specialized in fictional stories of the western frontier, which have sold over forty million copies. He won the Golden Spur Award from the Western Writers of America for The Kincaids. Born in Oklahoma, he was a fourth-generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time. Raised among the Cherokee and Osage tribes, he learned their traditions and culture, and their philosophy became the foundation of his own beliefs. Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wandering the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his contribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the governor of Oklahoma as a territorial marshal. He also won the Owen Wister Award for lifetime achievement and the Festival of the West Cowboy Spirit Award.
Alex Boyles has been acting pretty much his entire life. He got his BA in theater–acting/directing performance from CSU Long Beach and his MFA in acting performance from Ohio State University. He started narrating audiobooks in 2019 and hasn’t looked back!
