Publisher's Summary:

"I departed the train at the end of the track in Salina, Kansas, and with my knap sack and a suitcase started walking south toward the Santa Fe Trail. I was looking for unclaimed land suitable for farming. My savings were about gone and time was running out to find a suitable claim. I followed the Santa Fe Trail and joined a wagon train of merchants headed for Santa Fe. There was a spirit of good will between us that will never be forgotten. The fact that I was without funds never came up. I could earn my board by simply working my way helping others."

In December 1933, an obituary was published in the Hutchinson, Kansas, newspaper announcing the death of Laurence Burke. Laurence had died on December 18th, 1933 at age 84 years and 11 months. He died in his home on 6th Street, one block north of St. Teresa's Catholic Church. Laurence was survived by his wife, Kate, and three sons William, Edward, and George. Laurence was to be buried in the Bean Cemetery, Little River, Kansas. George's wife, Mary Donnelly Burke, my grandmother, wrote Laurence's obituary and ended the obituary with a statement from her heart: "Laurence Burke leaves many virtuous and good works faithfully performed and the ones who have been privileged to live near him for so many years are indeed the richer for the experience."

There is ample documented evidence of Laurence's character and published events to write a biography of his life. This audiobook, however, is a historic novel with Laurence Burke telling his own story.

An Irishman's Autobiography!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dynasty of Laurence Burke?

The Dynasty of Laurence Burke is a biography about an Irishman who decides to leave Ireland and all its struggles in the 1800s. He could not handle the English control, so he moves to America. He says that the only things that last are love and land and that was what he wanted. This story tells what it is like for an Irish American to settle on the plains of Kansas. It is not easy to farm the land and build up an area that is wild. He soon finds out that trading is the best way to live when there is very little money. With the support of friends and a new wife, he is able to make a good living.

This story helps you know what it was like to settle in the West, with all its struggles whether it was a grasshopper plague or the threat of rebels. I liked that Laurence, in the last chapter, goes back to Ireland when it is finally free of the English. He wants to make sure his family has a decent marker on their graves. It was a suitable ending to this story.

What about William L. Sturdevants performance did you like?

I absolutely loved William's voice. Not only was it pleasant to listen to, but his Irish accent was wonderful. Since this was an autobiography of an Irishman, it was all done in first person.

Publisher's Summary:

In the summer of 1858, young Jedediah P. Carpenter finds himself orphaned and alone on the Oregon trail in the middle of Nebraska Territory. He also finds himself smitten with the beautiful Emma Cooper, three years his senior, who has ridden off into the morning sunrise with the despicable Zeke Jones.

Jed's will to reach his family's original destination in Oregon is hampered by his lack of survival skills and the specter of the oncoming winter. Through an unlikely true friendship with a wandering Arapaho, Pete Scares-the-Ponies, Jedediah learns and hones those skills.

Instead of heading for Oregon, though, Jed finds himself in a little mining camp called Buckskin Joe in the early days of the great Pikes Peak gold rush. His whole life takes a turn when the mysterious "Silverheels" comes to town, and he experiences a love that will carry him through 50 years of solitude and beyond... the kind of love we all seek.

Jedediah's story will draw you into the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains in the early days of the territory that became the state of Colorado. Along the way, you'll experience joy, sorrow, love, and adventure in this fictional explanation of the naming of one of Colorado's prominent mountains, Mount Silverheels.

Am All Over It

This book was a gift, in more ways than one. Because it came from my son, I read it. It became my night time bed story,

and I purposely read only 10-12 pages a night as I found I didn't want it to end. Usually coming from a hectic day, as

most are, I was quickly transported to the mountains and blue, blue skies of Colorado....a state I almost called home in the

early '80s. I was deeply moved by the story of Jedediah and Emma, which far transcended what I thought would be a 'gold

rush' story, a subject that has never particularly interested me. And yes, I definitely see 'film' written all over it. But don't

even consider it, as it is a work in progress. Thank you, John, for such a wonderful and unique story. kc

John has done an excellent job of taking one on a splendid journey into ...

John has done an excellent job of taking one on a splendid journey into not only the mountains of this great country, but into the mind of a young man and the wonderful memories he holds so dear. I cant help but believe there's a touch of Jedediah P. Carpenter in all of us. In reading the accounts of his life, I could not help but to be taken back time and time again to an earlier time in my own life. Precious memories were rekindled as I followed Jed, "Into the Snow." Great job, my friend!

Very enjoyable read

I tend to enjoy historical fiction, and when it's this well-written, there's no comparison. I was immersed in the story throughout, and when I got to the end where it said it

a true story, I thought, "Darn! It was so good I thought it HAD to be true.". I'd definitely read other works by this author, and will recommend it to friends who like Western and Historical fiction.

Into the snow

I liked this story. I thought it was amazing. The friend ships, the adventurous, the love for friends, the pulling together of people when help was needed, I thought it was well written, look forward to moor good stores. Great job. Kattie From Texas 9/21/16

Publisher's Summary:

In September 1870 a train leaves Manchester bound for London. Onboard is Lizzie Burns, a poor worker from the Irish slums who is embarking on the journey that will change her forever.

Sitting in the first-class carriage beside her lover, the wealthy mill owner Frederick Engels, the vision of a life of peace and comfort takes shape before her eyes: finally, at nearly 50, she is to be the lady of a house and the wife to a man. Perhaps now she can put the difficulties of the past behind her, and be happy.

In Gavin McCrea's stunning debut novel, we follow Lizzie as the promise of an easy existence in the capital slips from her view and as she gains, in its place, a profound understanding of herself and of the world.

While Frederick and his friend, Karl Marx, try to spur revolution among the working classes, Lizzie is compelled to undertake a revolution of another kind: of the heart and the soul.

Haunted by her first love (a revolutionary Irishman); burdened by a sense of duty to right past mistakes; and torn between a desire for independence and the pragmatic need to be taken care of, Lizzie learns, as she says, that the world doesn't happen how you think it will. The secret is to soften to it and to take its blows.

Wry, astute and often hilarious, Lizzie is as compelling and charismatic a figure as ever walked the streets of Victorian England or its novels. In giving her renewed life, Gavin McCrea earns his place in the pantheon of great debut novelists.

Members Reviews:

A wife's view of life with Marxism. A 5* read

Any additional comments?

I knew very little about the personal lives of Marx and Engels and this story was a fascinating insight into their social and private lives. Several descriptions of these men spring to mind after reading this book - hypocrites, philanderers, selfish, opportunists, cruel, liars, idealists. And their wives were examples of Victorian style marriage, expected to be supportive of everything their husbands asked of them, whilst turning a blind eye to their infidelities and hypocritical way of life as compared to their idealistic notions of social reform for all. Mrs. Engels was a spirited, feisty woman who often subsumed her own self and identity for the sake of her sister (also Engels' mistress) and then for her own relationship with him. Her relationship with Jenny Marx was also a mixed blessing and one which never really became a comfortable one.This is a novel which leaves you feeling satisfied but curious to know more. It is superior historical fiction and has obviously involved a lot of research. I binge-listened to it because I couldn't bear to press the stop button until I found out what happened to all of the female characters. They were victims not only of their mens' ambitions but their own desire for a comfortable, conventional life, all whilst promoting a utopian social equality which they could never attain themselves. I loved every minute of it.

Brilliant book brilliantly performed

Would you listen to Mrs Engels again? Why?

Yes. This is a richly layered book, one which will be worth listening to again from the vantage point of knowing what happens.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lizzie is so vividly alive it's difficult not to be captivated by her, even if she is antipathetic in some ways.

Have you listened to any of Annie Farrs other performances? How does this one compare?

No, but I wish she would record more.

Resumen del editor:

Tras el fracaso de su intento de golpe de Estado de 1923, Hitler es detenido y encarcelado. El partido Nazi, sin su carismático líder, elige una nueva dirección, mucho más cercana a las ideas democráticas, lo que, unido a la bancarrota de sus cuentas, deja el partido al borde de la extinción o la ruptura. Es entonces cuando, en plena recuperación económica, tras la catástrofe de la primera guerra mundial, el tráfico de drogas pasa a estar prohibido por primera vez. Y, en la prohibición ven muchos, y de muy distintos signos, la ocasión de enriquecerse rápidamente. El comisario Müller tratará de impedirlo, a sabiendas de que nada puede detener la codicia. Es la época de la ley seca en Estados Unidos y el imperio de la mafia. Es la época de Mussolini en Italia. La época a la cual, sin razón alguna, llamaron "felices años veinte".

Publisher's Summary:

There were a few strong men in the wild and lawless west who managed to hang onto their faith. Some were falsely accused of crimes they did not commit. Some even spent time behind bars, simply because they would not forsake their God.

Ryan Hale was found along with his young sister Melissa, in a New Mexico desert, after their parents were brutally murdered by a band of Apache raiders. Sam Raines and his Indian wife, Spotted Fawn had brought then to Albuquerque and put them into the hands of a Baptist Circuit preacher. Pastor McKinley and his wife Ruth took the young orphans in. They settled in Santa Fe and began a life of service to the community and to the Lord. This is the story of a young man falsely accused, convicted and sent to Yuma Territorial Prison. What would he do when his time was up?

Sante fe sundown

I wasn't to crazy about this one .The plot leaves somewhat to be desired and just stops all of a sudden.

Christain themed old fashioned western

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was time well spent. It was a light good vs evil lighthearted western adventure.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would of made it at least a couple of hours longer. It was like listening to an abridged version of a book. It needed more meat and development.

What didnt you like about Howard Meadowss performance?

I think he would of been fine for many old time western books, however his style just didn't work for my personal taste with this book.

If the book was being told first person by an old cow hand looking back at his life then his style of narration would of fit, However the hero was a young man and the old cow hand gravelly voiced style of narration just didn't seem to fit.

Also the narration sounded like a third grader reading in front of his classroom. (Though it be an old coy hand gravelly voiced third grader)

Could you see Santa Fe Sundown being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

With some editing it could be a series or movie as it it is a bit too much Christian themed to be successful for a generalized video audience.

I really don't have any one in mind for the stars although I think John Lithgow would be a good cast for the hero's preacher father.

Any additional comments?

I was a fairly good short listen but it was way to short and underdeveloped. I would feel mean to give the book only two stars, However it really doesn't come up to a full three stars. If I could I would of given it two and half stars.

There was a lot of potential to further develop the story. Too bad this wasn't done.

Author: Richard McMahon

Narrator: Don Moffit

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 06-23-15

Publisher: Richard McMahon

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In this suspense novel set during the Korean War, Matthew Clark, the biographer of a respected and highly decorated army general, learns that there is a hidden side to his life, involving a brutal, covered-up murder, a secret mistress, and an abandoned illegitimate daughter. As he delves deeper, Matthew discovers an intriguing mystery and a tragic love in a world of surprises where nothing is at it seems.

Tracing the general's earlier career during the occupation of Japan and through the early days of the Korean War, Matthew follows the lives of four principle characters: Philip Coursen, who appears to be the perfect army officer but with a disturbing dark side; Miriam Coursen, equally perfect army wife who may hide a secret agenda; Calvin Carter, an idealistic young West Pointer, beset with guilt as a result of his clandestine affair with another officer's wife; and Samantha Winstead, the beautiful, vivacious cause of Calvin Carter's discomfort. The biography takes a personal turn for Matthew as he finds himself drawn into the story when he falls in love with the young woman who claims to be Coursen's daughter.

Critic Reviews:

"This is a marvelously well told story. The plot is different and exciting. The characters are described vividly to the extent I felt a loss when any of them died. A murder is committed at the beginning but it is a wild ride before the killer is exposed. And among all this are the Korean War and a tragic love story." (Readalot Reviews)

"An excellent book, written by an author who obviously knows what he is talking about. Brings to life what is known in Britain as the 'Forgotten War.' The plot and the characters are well developed and make you want to know their stories. The military aspects are brilliantly presented, certainly on a par with other authors such as Coyle or Bond." (Peter Nicholas Farrell Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Love, Lies, and Loopholes

In his October 8, 2014 Coffee Break column, Jerry Coffee described and praised this book and its author. Richard McMahon had received a gold medal for historical fiction from the Military Writers Society of America... More than enough reason for me to read The Dark Side of Glory...

All parts of this narrative tie together by the end of the story. The drudgery and uncertainty of the battlefield could just as well be the ground action in Syria today, with or without USA involvement. Korea must have been a nightmare for active duty, their families, and civilians. McMahon documents entanglements of human beings - because of what they bring to the war and because of what the war does to them.

Glad I read this book.

Excellent Read

First I don't normally read "war stories" unless I'm researching my father's time as a POW in WWII. That being said I'm really glad that I read this one. The book is well written and I quickly became invested in the characters, I mourned when a character was lost to the brutalities of war and cheered when they survived that said war. The book was written with 2 POV's the first being a writer commissioned to write a book about the life story of General Philip Sheridan Coursen and the other Lt. Calvin Carter, a company commander of General Coursen's Tenth Recon. The book has it all love, hate, revenge and everything in between. The intrigues will surprise you and keep you reading til the end.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

À Montevideo, Leonid Sednev, âgé de 91 ans, décide avant de mourir de révéler le secret de sa vie.

Embauché en 1912 comme ramoneur au palais impérial de Russie grâce à sa tante Nina, ancienne femme de chambre de la tsarine, le petit Leonid sera jusqu'en 1918 le "témoin invisible" de l'intimité des Romanov et le seul survivant de l'épouvantable massacre d'Ekaterinbourg. Rien n'échappe à son regard tantôt ironique et curieux, tantôt amoureux et tendre, et plus d'une fois épouvanté. Avec son ami Youri, il découvre le quotidien de l'impératrice et de ses filles, apprend quels sont les véritables commanditaires de l'assassinat de Raspoutine, console le jeune et fragile tsarévitch Alexis, assiste aux conspirations de palais, côtoie des agents secrets, avant d'être emporté par le tourbillon de l'Histoire, le soulèvement de Petrograd puis la révolution d'Octobre. Mais c'est en rejoignant la famille impériale dans son exil que Leonid, serviteur loyal, secrètement amoureux de la grande-duchesse Tatiana, livrera à l'Histoire le plus déchirant des témoignages.
