Publisher's summary

The hunters noticed the circling birds against the rose-tinted sky above the rim rock and saw where the flat rays of the early morning sun glinted on something that didn't belong there, and the three of them walked that way. What they find sends FBI agent Zack Tolliver and his friend Eagle Feather in pursuit of a dangerous and powerful killer.

Good Story, horrible narration

The narration of this book makes it almost unlistenable. I don’t know what they were trying to accomplish, but failed. Some people might like being talked at like two year old, I’m not one. The change of voice for the Navajo characters is very distasteful.

Narrator

Everything else is great but your narrator's delivery made it hard to finish. Sorry

Enjoyed the story, interesting premse

R Lawson Gamble has created an interesting group of characters and imaginative take on native myths, overall an interesting premise. Unfortunately flawed by The narrator Thomas Block. Sentences, paragraphs don't flow naturally and poor differentiation of characters, confusing. The quality of the written story is five star.

Bad narration

Great story for this genre but narration was atrocious. His inflections were horribly off. Ruined story

Narrator was difficult to listen to

Narrator's inflections, intonations, and speaking pace was halting and inconsistent. Sometimes was like listening to a new, inexperienced reader, or to someone who wasn't using anticipation or inference. Sometimes the narrator sounded distracted so sentences were broken and the pace would occasionally be sped up and others were narrated painfully slow. I even adjusted the speed and it was still difficult. It was sometimes hard to understand which character was speaking.
Story was good for a quick and light listen. I did enjoy, for a nice change, that the people going after the 'bad guy', regardless of affiliation, did work together. Also enjoyed that there was not foul language or sexual content as it wouldn't have added much to the story. Seems there could be more story to develop.

Wrong narrator for this book

Could not finish 2nd chapter. New York / northeastern accent is probably better for a noir set in a city. Navajo's sounded like Asians. Sorry, sure this guy is good for other setting than southwest indian-country
