The Iron Horse Chronicles, Book Two

De: Robert Lee Murphy

Narrado por: Brian James Stenberg

Fifteen-year-old Will Braddock works as a hunter for his uncle's survey team as the transcontinental railroad extends across Wyoming in 1868. Paddy O'Hannigan is determined to get even with those who caused the death of his father—which means Will, his uncle, and former slave Homer Garcon. And Paddy has other nefarious designs: he intends to blow up presidential candidate Ulysses S. Grant's train on the general's campaign trip into Wyoming. After saving a German count from a bear attack, in which he himself is badly mauled, Will must immediately turn his attention to his human opponent, the deadly and ruthless Paddy O'Hannigan.

I loved book two! Can't wait for book three!

This is book two in the author’s series “The Iron Horse Chronicles” and I loved it from beginning to end. It was a wild adventure with non-stop action. I don’t want to give anything away, so no spoilers here, but I was on the edge of my seat many times, wondering how in the world this could possibly work out for Will, and many of the other characters, that found themselves in some unusual heart stopping predicaments. And then we have Paddy O’Hannigan! I keep hoping he can somehow redeem himself, and every time I start to feel sorry for him, he is back up to no good. Robert Murphy creates a world so immersive that you feel as if you are part of the story. I have also learned many historic details I knew nothing about prior to reading this story. The narrator has really mastered the character voices in this book, including different accents, which I really enjoyed. Now the hard part . . . waiting for the next book to come out in Audible.
