Fair Blows the Wind

A Novel

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: John Keating

His father killed by the British and his home burned, young Tatton Chantry left Ireland to make his fortune and regain the land that was rightfully his. Schooled along the way in the use of arms, Chantry arrives in London a wiser and far more dangerous man. He invests in trading ventures, but on a voyage to the New World his party is attacked by Indians and he is marooned in the untamed wilderness of the Carolina coast. It is in this darkest time, when everything seems lost, that Chantry encounters a remarkable opportunity. . . . Suddenly all his dreams are within reach: extraordinary wealth, his family land, and the heart of a Peruvian beauty. But first he must survive Indians, pirates, and a rogue swordsman who has vowed to see him dead.

Wonderful Classic

Absolutely LaAmour at his finest. Keating narrates in an amazing way, building all the characters and brogues in great detail.

1st experience

loved it great narration read the book myself but this was masterfully done. I recommend this to anyone who like a 1500s piratey adventure great narration

A Great Adventure

This is a multifaceted story that crosses many seas and the reader captures the voices of many characters well. I enjoyed the places sounds, and colored characters and found them inspiring. I would love to see NC Wyeth paint these epict sword fights and William Turner's version of the eye of the storm on the Great Katherine.
