Mojave Crossing: The Sacketts

A Novel

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: David Strathairn

Louis L’Amour takes William Tell Sackett on a treacherous passage from the Arizona goldfields to the booming town of Los Angeles.

Tell Sackett was no ladies’ man, but he could spot trouble easily enough. And Dorinda Robiseau was the kind of trouble he wanted to avoid at any time—even more so when he had thirty pounds of gold in his saddlebags and a long way to travel. But when she begged him for safe passage to Los Angeles, Sackett reluctantly agreed. Now he’s on a perilous journey through the most brutal desert on the continent, traveling with a companion he doesn’t trust . . . and headed for a confrontation with a deadly gunman who also bears the name of Sackett.©1964 Louis and Katherine L'Amour Trust; (P)2001 Random House, Inc.

I really like Louis Lamour

exalent book I really like Louis Lamour navals I started reading them while on deployment while I was in the Navy it helped make the time go by faster

David Strathairn is the best narrator hands-down

he's very good at capturing the mood and flow of the story expressive yet soothing voice

Early Western survival and honor, hard lessons

Classic Louis L'Amour imagination and discriptive writing about the trials and tribulations of a tough and determined mountain man and his struggles against nature, the Mojave Desert, and outlaws. I personally appreciated reference to familiar desert challenges, mountain ranges, and numerous towns described as viewed by horseback in the 1800's. Good reading but also very entertaining in audio version.

Another great Sackette

Great story and story tell did great. Louis L'Amour's books are great western stories. The Sakette series is my favorite.
Tell meats Nolan. You'll find out.😉

Oh! The Suspense!

Captivating to the very end. The reader knows how to fluctuate his voice for the different characters in the story, and his delivery is a masterpiece.
