Dance on the Wind

Titus Bass, Book 1

Sixteen-year-old Titus Bass fears one fate more than any other: never to experience the great wilderness or the wildness inside himself. So late one night he snatches a squirrel gun and a handful of biscuits, flees into the woods, and doesn’t look back. From Louisville past the Chickasaw bluffs and the Natchez Trace all the way to New Orleans, he plunges into the rough-and-tumble life along the banks of the Mississippi: a volatile, violent country of boatmen and river bandits, knife fights and Indian raids, strong liquor and stronger women. Yet beyond the great river stretches the vast, unexplored expanse of the Great Plains. And it is here that young Titus will seek his future, and risk everything to seize it.

Long awaited

I have been waiting so long for this authors series to come to Audible.

Great Series

Best historical fiction you can find on the mountain man/fur trading era. Most underrated western author out there.

redeeming value is missing

nothing to see here a vapid selfish boy coming to age and constantly looking for sexual adventures.

great story for the first of a searies

good over all story of a young man heading west and growing up by him self

Dissatisfying story

I kept thinking this young man would find some purpose in his life, something to live for, someone whose love he would return.
Instead it’s a tale of a kid who never grew up, lacked courage or moral strength, and left a trail of folks who loved him and were left behind.
This is a very long wordy tale of a man whose life lacked any meaning and who never accomplished anything of lasting value.
