Loved it

Revisado: 08-22-24

A thoroughly highly unique and engaging story. The 1956 English movie version sells the story so short that I can't wait to see the Australian 1981 TV mini series. Such a compelling well written and narrated story that I will often relisten.

Standard Thomas Perry

Revisado: 03-28-24

Excellent in all respects. Well worth the wait. The naration, though not the best,. did not take away from the writing.

I am not a fan of Westerns

Revisado: 01-04-24

But this is the start of one of the most engaging series I have ever listened to. All nine kept my rapt attention. Elmer Kelton is not only a great story teller and writer, but a fine observer and chronicler of the human condition.

As engaging as Gus McCrae of Lonsome Dove

Revisado: 12-14-23

One of the most enjoyable series of books I have ever read or listened to and hated for it to come to end. I will relisten to this and the remainder of the quartet many times again.

Supurb narration

Revisado: 11-27-23

Reassuring that the last of my longstanding favorite authors has not gone off the rail on venting his political views. I strongly disagree with other commentators as to the quality of the narration. It was first rate in all respects, though not needed as the story was so strong and compelling.

Negative reviews

Revisado: 10-20-22

I am so glad I ignored the negative reviews. I love the ongoing story and I particularly admire the author's skill in presenting equally both the masculine and feminine viewpoints. Beyond that, I particularly admire the author's steadfast stand to refuse to be cancelled in the toxic culture of our time. I would have purchased this, irregardless, just to stick it to the "cancel culture".

I thought the narrator handled the online conversations as well as well as they could be done.

Face it, social media, though I abhor it, is part of life as we know it, today.

Great writer, great story

Revisado: 09-29-22

The only negative is the narrator, who seemed a bit amateurish at the beginning. Somewhere midway, he either got better or I got used to him.

So very tired of the mystical hallucinations

Revisado: 09-08-22

I am a little over four hours in and have to fight off the urge to shut it off and forget it as a wasted credit from a trusted author. I will however force myself to listen to the end and report any reason to raise my negative rating.
I struggled, but managed to listen through. Couldn't stay focused enough to follow the story closely, The only saving grace for me, were the snatches of dialogue from the characters I have grown to love.
I am torn. I love the author and his characters and I want more, so I can't just leave him with a one star review.
Accordingly, I have raised my review to three stars.

Just couldn't force myself to stick with.

Revisado: 06-04-22

I have had my fill of Native American mysticism. An otherwise decent story was ruined by it. A wasted credit.

Author unloads his politics

Revisado: 07-15-21

I have read or listened to every Daniel Silva
Gabriel Allon book. No more! Between the new
narrator and the author's severe case of Trump
Derangement Syndrome, I just can't finish this
