Beyond the Outposts

De: Max Brand

Narrado por: Kristoffer Tabori

From pre-Civil War Virginia to the prairies of the far west, this epic follows young Lew Dorset as he journeys in search of his father.

Lew's skill with firearms gets him a job as a hunter with a trader heading onto the prairies to barter with the Indians. There he meets young Chuck Morris, and together they take on a Cheyenne attack party. Finding shelter in a Sioux village, they absorb the native culture. Lew comes to know the great Sioux chieftains, becoming blood brothers with Sitting Wolf, while Chuck marries the beautiful maiden Zintcallasappa.

After Lew plays a decisive role in a battle between the Sioux and Pawnee, he returns to find that Chuck has deserted his wife and son. His attempts to reconcile them culminate in great danger and, ultimately, a threat to his life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tabori has a gruff, guttural reading style with speech patterns that fit this gritty cowboy narrative....Tabori's gravelly voice flows expressively....A real man's tale that Brand fans will enjoy." (AudioFile)
"Brand's classic western roils from one hair-raising adventure and conflict to the next....Tabori's gravelly tones suit the title well. (Booklist)

Amazing narration!

I liked it all! Fredrick Faust was a storyteller indeed!
Excellent! What a yarn! And the narrator could not possibly have been any better!

Best narration ever.

Narrators skill adds a brilliant, shining quality, to what is already
the richest of jewels. What a treasure
to enjoy.

This narrator is awesome

Narrator is so passionate in his narration, I feel like he is telling the story around a camp fire and like he was really there. I read this book as a teen. What an excellent action-packed story.

Sweeping Adventure

I picked this book because I had to use my ten dollar credit before it expired, and I hadn't listened to a Western story in years. Just looking for a change of pace, and a fairly quick listen. I made a great uninformed choice . . . I had not read anything by Max Brand, nor listened to any narration by Kristoffer Tabori. The story is very good and pulls you in like any other well crafted tale. However, this story is ment to be read out loud. The combination of Mr. Brand's story and the wonderful rich Western base of Mr. Tabori is magic. This is what you hope your experience of listening to Audible books is like! Get this book - even if you don't consider your a follower of Western's (I don't), you will enjoy this adventure.

Hungry for more...

This was one of the best stories I've listened to so far with Audible. To the Writers credit the story was fantastic and the Narator was the perfect choice. From the second track I was hooked and couldn't lay it down. EXCELLENT!
