A Chase of Blood on Steel

The Hobo Kingdom, Book 1

De: Dan Biermeier

Narrado por: S. W. Salzman

Glen and Denny are torn from their families and thrust into a world you have never imagined. They race upon rails of steel, curving through the depths of a different time, chasing adventure, tragedy, crime, violence, friendship, and loyalty. They eventually land in the hands of two groups of hobos. They learn the life. They learn a new code of ethics...and they learn how to hunt down two homicidal monsters in the Hobo Kingdom.

The Hobo Kingdom has its own language, rules, and characters. These trains are wild rides where no one is safe. A place with Bam! in-your-face vigilante justice, where the good guys are not pure and the bad guys...you don't even want to know exist.

Settle in for a ride loaded with action, comedy, camaraderie, and thrills. But watch out...there could be blood everywhere!

A wonderful, unique story.

This is a wonderful story with a hint of “coming of age” thrown in. There’s a bit of education here as well as you learn some of the hobo lingo and ways of life on the rails. There are several sub-plots that run concurrently throughout the length of the tale. We’re introduced to Denny known as Shanghai, Glen his boyhood friend, and of course several of the hobos, some of which have history going back to the Korean War. There are the good and bad as in any society, but the hobo life is quite unique; most of us knowing little if anything of it. This is a great story and I enjoyed it thoroughly. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

A bit confusing

All the different names was confusing even at the end of the story. Neat concept tho. One never thinks of those that lay low and out of sight.

Excellent Story And Performance!!!

This Story Was Non Stop Action! And I Absolutely Loved It!...This Was New World With New Adventures...Every Chapter Was Detailed Oriented It Felt Like You Were Standing Right Next To The Characters...This Author Took A Chance On Something New And It Worked!!! I Am Very Much Looking Forward To The Book 2 Audiobook!!!

A very solid story worth checking out

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a pretty good listenting experience for me. I liked SW Salzman's narration and the characters were engaging. I liked the whole hobo life thing. I found it very interesting. There was plenty of fast paced action that drove the story along but it was nicely offset by some quiet moments to allow you to catch your breath. The fights are pretty graphic, but that wasn't a problem for me. It really gives the story a gritty feel to it which was exciting. Definitely worth a credit, if you ask me.
