About this listen

One man finds himself torn between two cultures in this sweeping tale of frontier life in post-Civil War era Texas. In the years following the American War Between the States, the once-vacated military presence in west Texas is on the rise to protect the waves of settlers moving into the region. Living peaceably with the Mescalero Apache, half-breed former military scout Holton Lang promotes the tentative harmony between the US cavalry and the Native American population. But when the delicate peace between the two nations is broken, Holton is asked to negotiate a new agreement with the US military at Fort Davis. Angered by Holton and his respected position in the Apache camp, brave Stalking Wolf joins other hostile warriors in bloody warfare against the white settlers and blue-coated military.

Leaving behind his Apache wife and the domestic life he was building, Holton journeys back to his former home in white civilization for talks of peace. When the battle becomes personal, Holton is finally forced to confront the chasm that separates the two worlds into which he was born. Written in the style of the traditional John Ford/John Wayne cavalry pictures, West to Bravo evokes an era of classic Western fiction and paints an exciting and touching tale of one man stuck in the middle of a terrible conflict.

You feel as though you're sitting in the saddle

This book puts you right in the saddle along side some colorful characters within the old west. I picked the book to listen to as I drove through the Western states on a recent business trip. It proved to be a perfect accompanyment to my journey. The story was so engaging that sometimes I had to finish listening to a part as I idled at a gas pump for an extra few minutes.

You can almost hear the saddle leather creek, feel the steam rise off horse hide in the early morning in the intense "visual" detail within this book. I grew up reading Louis Lamour and other western genre writers of the bygone era and this proved to be a hopeful reminder that there could be a few modern writers, Mr. Heisner among them, that can keep this beautiful "western adventure" alive for a new generation to appreciate.

Now I'll be looking forward to adding a couple more of his books to my next drive.

What a great Sunday morning read.

A gratifying adventure that takes you back in time to the struggles of American settlers, Apache Americans, and the raw human experience of fighting for the right to exist in the American West.

A book that draws you in!

Would you listen to West to Bravo again? Why?

Yes, I purchased the audio version and listened to it while commuting to and from work. Once I arrived to my destinations, I found myself not wanting to get out of the car and often sat in the car for an additional 10 minutes while finishing the chapters.

What did you like best about this story?

The language used in the book draws you in with its powerful words that paints vivid images of what is happening in the story.

Have you listened to any of Ethan Sawyer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, first time listening to Ethan Sawyer; however, he did a great job narrating the story by using different tones and accents for the characters in the book.

Who was the most memorable character of West to Bravo and why?

The most memorable character of West to Bravo would have to be Bear. I believe Bear depicts what cowboys were/are--tough with a Texan drawl.

Any additional comments?

I would highly recommend the book/audio book for those who enjoy a good plot and a thrilling western.
