Publisher's summary

There are some things in this world that can't be stopped. Like progress, a moving train, and the American Dream. When the bigwigs in Washington decide to build a transcontinental railroad to the West Coast, they need a man who's just as unstoppable to clear a path through Mexican territory. That man is Jamie MacCallister.

Jamie knows it's a tough job. The territory is overrun with Apaches. The Apaches are gunning for a fight. And the first patrol sent in by the president has already been ambushed, kidnapped, and most likely killed. Jamie knows he can't take on the whole Apache nation by himself. He needs help. He needs backup.

He needs a nonstop force of mountain-man fury who goes by the name of Preacher....

Great story, ASMR Reader

Excellent story however the reader’s basso almost mono inflected reading made it difficult to maintain your attention. My hearing deficit does not help. I hate to say this but the AI reading of the Kindle book by Alexa is better.

Enjoyable Story

A fun listen with lots of action. The narrator is perfect. I was working on my deck while listening, and it made the task easier.

Great book and narrator

Wish it are longer! Otherwise a joy to listen to! I’ll have to start using real money , credits almost up on this author. Only ran into two bad books and narration so far.
