Sorrow Draw

De: Tim Brumbaugh

Narrado por: Justin Crunkleton

An Alternate History/Post-Apocalypse/Western genre fusion.

The American Civil War ended in 1863 when a comet struck North Africa, plunging the world into an environmental disaster that survivors call The Calamity. Eighteen years later, former Union soldier Cornelius Conny White turned to bounty hunting for a New England warlord. Survival in a post-apocalyptic United States is hard and cruel, and Conny can feel his humanity slowly ebbing away. When a job takes him and his partner, a Bedouin exile named Farhad, on a long journey through a desolate and dust-choked South, they find themselves in Sorrow Draw, a mysterious town in what used to be the state of Texas.

A violent clash between the former slave population and the ruthless Paluxy Boys gang, led by a tyrannical preacher named John Mothershed, threatens to pull Conny into the bloody fray. Haunted by the vile things he's done in the past, Conny must choose between losing what's left of his humanity or risking everything to find redemption and save his found family.

Sorrow Draw is a Post-Apocalyptic Alternate History Western novel that reimagines a past in which the American Civil War is interrupted by an apocalyptic extinction event. The few who survive must struggle through the hardships of navigating a now barren and empty world. It's a grimdark tale of sacrifice, honor, love, and the human will to endure.

The characters were vivid and the story hauntingly inviting.

Its written in such a way that you can love some characters and absolutely detest others. it never let's up once it starts and it can break you.

Timothy brumbaugh is the Mozart of telling stories so vivid you feel like you really know the characters in real life 👍👍

Sorrow Draw is by far the best book I've read in 20 years hands down ! Tim Brumbaugh is the Mozart of telling stories so vivid you feel like you really know the characters in real life. Right from the start Conny, Farhad, Nikki, and Crowkiller become the heroes of this tale and you get completely drawn in and invested in their journey to California and the possibilities of a better life. And you can't wait to see what's gonna happen next on their journey. It gets good really fast ! His character development is on another level like I have never seen before. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read Sorrow Draw delivers and then some 👍👍. This was just the book I needed to get me back into reading ! :) I absolutely can't wait for the second part to come out , and I can't wait to see what's next. 10 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Get ready for a GREAT ride!

Where do I begin? Tim has written a truly great story here. Sorrow Draw literally drew me in, from start to finish I didn't want the story to end. When I was listening I would sit just a bit longer in the car get squeeze out a few more lines. I was drawn to each character and the plight and struggles they had during the story. Narrator does a great job with each character and I felt them in the car with me has he portrayed them. Great book Tim and I cant wait for part two!

For me it all started with a random tik tok video in my feed.

I myself enjoy western stories from reconstruction era to the turn of the century. This story has an added twist with a meteor striking the African continent. Causing an almost nuclear like winter over much of the United States. Ending the Civil War between North and South and throwing the country into an apocalyptic wasteland. we always picture post apocalyptic stories set in the future. This is a nice change of pace to that genre. The story itself is meaty with multiple character archs happening and weaving seamlessly at once. The narrator and author paints a grim world full of danger, tyrannical confederate general, a fire and brimstone crazed preacher, bounty hunters, cannibals, stolen money from a far away land, I'm excited for book 2 and what happens to our protagonists. Do they make it out of Sorrow Draw TX alive? Do they survive through the Indian lands to reach the Republic of California? Is it what they hoped it would be or just a fairy tale they hoped it wasnt.

interesting story and leaves you wanting more

I looked the concept and the reader. Unfortunately the book suffers from lack of editing.
