Ride the Dark Trail

De: Philip McCormac

Narrado por: J. Scott Bennett

Schoolteacher Konrad Diamond falls afoul of cattle baron Ernst Haeckel. Rather than invite more trouble, Diamond and his sister Lila light out for new pastures. But the vindictive Haeckel puts a price on Diamond’s head, and the bounty hunters are coming for him. The teacher and his sister fall in with Gusty Gillespie, a battle-scarred bruiser, and then fate throws the trio into the path of Jacob Millard, who is on a rescue mission for a young girl kidnapped from his town.

Konrad, Lila, and Gusty try to persuade him. It is a suicidal enterprise. But what the hell! They say blood is thicker than water. The group of four wade through a crimson tide as they ride the dark trail and do battle with bounty hunters, Cheyenne warriors, crooked lawmen, and outlaws. No one can foretell which of them will survive, if any.

Great western story

This is an enjoyable, action filled western story, set after the civil war. A school teacher, his sister, a young man looking for his kidnapped friend, and a scarred ex-soldier, form a friendship as they help each other fight the bad guys. The narrator, J Scott Bennett’s voice fits this story so well. He gave the characters their own voice and made you feel like you were in a western. This is a well written, enjoyable story and I would happily listen to others by this author.

Really well done!

This is a fantastic western in the tradition of Louis L'Amour and Max Brand. Great story with wonderful characters, and the narration was terrific.

Fantastic

This was definitely the western genre at it's best, Loved the book. It was action filled and the characters were very well done. The narrator did a great job of bringing the world to life and kept you wanting to listen to more. I was given a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.

Ride the Dark Trail

I received this book for free in exchange for a honest review 😎. I really enjoyed this story. The narrative was great. I recommend this western to others looking for a good read 😎

Great western

The story was a great adventure. Sometimes it was a little unrealistic but it was fun. I loved the characters. They were all different and well developed. I was a little disappointed that the ending didn’t wrap things up in a nice, neat package, but maybe that’s just my personal preference. The narrator was perfect for a western story.

Excellent story!

Set in the times after the civil war, this is a very well written story about a soldier, turned school teacher who gets on the wrong side of a bad guy. In his pursuit to avoid problems, he comes across more problems that all circle back to the original. This author is a good one. He has well developed characters, and his descriptions are so good that I felt that I could actually SEE what he was 'seeing'. This is the first book I have read from Philip McCormac, but, I don't think it will be the last.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and Scott Bennett is one of my favorite narrators to listen to. He is an excellent story teller and he seems to BE each character he is reading. It is always a pleasure to listen to Scott Bennett's work.

A Real Western

This book has a great western story that keeps you entertained the whole ride. The story has plenty of action and keep you listening. It felt like a genuine western story. The narrator is a perfect fit and conveyed the old West feeling of the story. I enjoyed it and recommend a listen.

Nothing like a good western!

Nothing like a good western to cleanse the palette. Our protagonist, Conrad Diamond was a law-abiding school teacher. He had been law-abiding until a bull-headed rancher named Haeckel stuck his nose in Diamond’s business. With the heat turned up, it was time for Diamond and his sister to make themselves scarce. In another part of the territory, Jacob Millard is seeking a young girl kidnapped from his town during a robbery. Sub-plot three follows the troubled trail of Gusty Gillespie as he winds up in one brawl after another. Eventually paths cross, and all find themselves in the same place to determine who will walk away. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Fantastic Story!

Both the excellent writing and narration combine to make this exciting western tale very enjoyable. The voice of the narrator is perfectly matched to this story. You cannot help but enjoy it.
