Historia
When she agreed to go on a date with quantum physicist Dr. David Fergusson, Kate Kallastad never expected that he would insist on demonstrating his breakthrough in the creation of a trans-space teleportation device. Nor did she expect to get caught up in a science experiment that would send both Kate and her date back in time.

An Enjoyable Read
Revisado: 01-31-25
Finally I found a book that held my attention. It was because of the details, not so much the story itself.
The story is predicable, the hero-done before and the girl is no one special. The sex scenes are fun, but not all that arousing. Still, the writing is good enough that I finished the book.
I recommend this book as something fun to read.

Terrible Narration
Revisado: 01-14-25
I invested a credit on this story because the reviews were good. But I believe they are bogus because the narration is so bad! The narrator does have some talent, but he overacts to the point of distraction. I was never in the story. I was always listening to an overacting narrator.
I was so disappointed. Plus, the story isn’t very exciting. It’s definitely a lost treasure. And there’s a very good reason. Louis didn’t publish this book when he was alive.

This Is An Enjoyable Listen
Revisado: 12-15-24
I liked the world building, as I like the Western/Historical Fiction genre. Particularly when it includes women and has a meaningful story line rather than just being a shoot ‘em up bang bang.
This is a romance story. It’s predictable and cliche. However, the writing is good enough that I’m interested and invested in the story and characters, and I plan to listen to the next book in the series.
I thought the writer used religion and God as a way to avoid explaining the motives of her main characters. She kind of took the easy way out. Instead of offering us some amazing insight about the human condition from her perspective, she simply writes, “because God loves me (the protagonist) so much, I deserve…” I’d have liked that character Donna Grace to have found her value through many layers and dimensions of thought. Maybe taking a tour through her mind. But again, Ford is such a good writer, she still has my attention.
The narration starts out weak. The sound is inconsistent, as it’s sometimes too loud, other times too quiet. The narrator also makes quite a few mistakes in the beginning. In the beginning of the book, I focused on what is wrong with the narration, but as the book progresses, the quality of sound and narration improves, so by the ending of the book I’d give our narrator a solid B+. I completely forgot about her and I was absorbed in the story.
I highly recommend this book, even though it got too religious towards the ending. I love God, but I don’t need religious jargon smeared all over my face.

Historia
Located in the bullet-riddled heart of Texas, the Lost Coyote Saloon in the town of Wolf Creek is a magnet for drifters, grifters, and outlaws on the run. That's why the bar's manager, the beautiful Rachel Baskin, is glad the new owner is Ben Savage. A former Texas Ranger with a fast draw and low threshold for trouble, Savage knows how to keep the peace. But when notorious hellraiser Malcolm Hazzard is released from prison—and heading to Wolf Creek to kill the local sheriff—the whole town knows the lawman doesn't have a prayer. There's only one way to stop a devil like Hazzard.

I Love The Ben Savage Trilogy
Revisado: 12-02-24
Frank Morgan and Ben Savage are my favorite protagonists the Johnstone’s write about. I’m a huge fan of JA, considering her a true hero of modern times.
Please, do yourself a favor and enjoy some Ben Savage !
I must also mention that the narrator is a genius! I don’t know how one person could keep track of so many voices. But he does it with smoothness and easy comprehension for the listener.
My father died in 2017. He was a big western/cowboy stories fan. I started listening to cowboy books in honor of him, and every time I listen to one, I think of my dad. This book, gives this woman a great deal of joy far beyond the fun, descriptive writing. What could be more fun than a shoot em up, in memory of my father?

Fun Story, Some Very Good Characters
Revisado: 11-11-24
Although I did enjoy this book, I liked the first one more. That’s because I find the long drawn out fight scenes in this one to be a bit tedious. I’m not all that excited about creatures being destroyed just because they are protecting their domains. In my mind, protecting one’s home isn’t really evil. Yes, kill the Earl and the bad guys, but can’t it be done more quickly, so we can get back to feeding and saving this world?
Somehow when I play video games, killing spiders is fun and meaningful, but in literature, it kind of reminds me of what was done to indigenous people through out OUR world.
I’d like to hear more about the cheese, the animals, Ben, the farm hands…more details about the wolf pups…not pages and pages of slashing at flowers.
If book 3 wasn’t free to listen to, I would have quit this series, hopefully this book will be good enough to get me back on track otherwise I’m off to…maybe a SpaceOpera or a Cowboy novel.
Don’t get me wrong, Germination is a good book, I think Seth Ring is a brilliant writer, it’s well like I said before, I’m not into reading about unjustified killing. Well… not pages and pages of it anyway.

Historia
When Bruce Cowan takes his family and flees Boston to homestead out west, he figured the journey to California to be long but safe. Their first day out reveals how wrong he is and the perilous dangers of the Santa Fe Trail. It would have been a massacre but for Trent and Pat MacLeod. Trent favors a Sharps .50 caliber buffalo rifle, while his younger brother Pat packs two Texas Navy Colts. They both prove deadly and a force to be reckoned with. The Cowans and the McLeod brothers forge a bond those first few days, sustained in part by Trent's attraction to the 18-year-old Becky Cowan.

Entertaining Western About A Family Traveling West
Revisado: 09-26-24
A very good book that focuses on the story rather than the details of what life was like in the olden days. There’s a lot of killing that doesn’t quite fit with reality, but the story holds up and I was left wanting more when the book was finished. There is no gore or truly upsetting detail to be concerned with, so I definitely would recommend this book to almost any age reader or listener.

Historia
Erich had been treated as a freak of nature for as long as he could remember. When he was twelve, he was bigger than any fully grown man in Brainerd. His defense against the constant taunts was to retreat into a shell which marked him as a dimwitted giant. He'd been working as a blacksmith for six years when he found himself without a job and decided to leave Minnesota for the far West. Maybe in Montana Territory he would be more readily accepted as just a man and not a monster.

Great Story. A Happy Read.
Revisado: 08-10-24
The author gave me everything I like in a story. The coming of age for the hero. A homely heroine who really is pretty. A little bit of action. Some history to add interest.
The story is a fantasy, more than real gritty life. In fact, if one were to dwell on it, it’s hardly believable. But the author is such a great story teller, who cares?
One thing I found odd is the author’s obsession with genitalia. I don’t think a human sexuality text book would contain as much penis/vagina content as this book does…except don’t worry, the author never actually uses those words.
I’d say this book is for adults, as no young person needs to dwell upon sex organs as much as this book does. In fact, there’s a sort of unhealthy obsession and underlying message that well endowed men are better than average men.
Still, I liked the book, but I wouldn’t recommend it to my mom or my grandson or my brothers, it would be inappropriate and awkward.

Very Good Listen
Revisado: 06-16-24
I’d say this book is about average. The character development wasn’t as good as, let’s say, “Hondo”. But then again that’s one of the best books ever written.
The protagonist’s luck is just a little bit too convenient, although I did root for him. The story kept my attention if I was doing something else, like playing Spades on my IPad. If I hadn’t paid for this book, I most likely wouldn’t have finished it because too many parts were illogically cut short. Like when the protagonist finally comes face to face with the antagonists…why didn’t they talk. We could have gotten a better understanding of the bad guys.
L. L.Amour uses wonderful adjectives to describe scenery and conditions.

Historia
For thousands of years, the lonely canyon knew only wind and rain, wild animals, and an occasional native hunter. Then a trapper found a chunk of gold, and everything changed overnight. In six days, a town called Confusion appeared... and on the seventh it could disappear, consumed by the flames of lawlessness and violence. On one side are those who understand only brute force. On the other are men who want law and order but are ready to use a noose to achieve their ends.

History, Story. Characters. Great Prose!
Revisado: 06-14-24
This book just proves L. A’More is the greatest western writer who ever wrote about cowboys, gunslingers and soiled doves. He lays the story out so well and neatly, it’s easy to follow the many interesting characters.
The narrator is superb.
I’d say this book is a bit more harrowing than some of his more popular ones, I’d give it a PG13 rating.
