The Desert of Wheat is a thrilling and romantic tale of sabotage in the wheat fields of the Pacific Northwest during World War I.
Young farmer Kurt Dorn is torn between going to France to fight the Germans or staying in America to be with the woman he loves and to protect his wheat crop against saboteurs who question his
loyalties. He struggles to come to terms with his deepest beliefs and his place in the world.
In this passionate tale, Zane Grey, one of America’s most popular and enduring authors, captures the anxieties of a young country threatened by a foreign war and poised on the brink of a century of
change.

Editorial Reviews
“Jim Gough is the perfect reader for this story…He dramatizes moments of romance and ‘man’s inhumanity to man’ with his mellow style and baritone voice, which take the listener to a campfire where Westerners tell tall tales amid the beautiful Western landscape. Listeners, young and old, will enjoy Grey’s way with words and Gough’s relaxing cowboy drawl.” —AudioFile
Zane Grey® (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife 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. More than 130 films have been based on his work.
