From AudioFile

The first of 16 novels chronicling an American family over several generations. British actor John Curless narrates this first volume, as told by Barnabas Sackett, a seventeenth-century farmer in the North Country fens who becomes branded an outlaw and seeks freedom and justice in a new land. Curless brings raw emotion and excitement into a story full of swordplay, intrigue, romance, and high-seas adventure. This unabridged recording is exceptionally good due to Curless's masterful reading and L'Amour's swashbuckling tale of friendship, loyalty and the quest for a better life. S.E.S.

Product Description

After discovering six gold Roman coins buried in the mud of the Devil’s Dyke, Barnabas Sackett enthusiastically invests in goods that he will offer for trade in America. But Sackett has a powerful enemy: Rupert Genester, nephew of an earl, wants him dead. A battlefield promise made to Sackett’s father threatens Genester’s inheritance. So on the eve of his departure for America, Sackett is attacked and thrown into the hold of a pirate ship. Genester’s orders are for him to disappear into the waters of the Atlantic. But after managing to escape, Sackett makes his way to the Carolina coast. He sees in the raw, abundant land the promise of a bright future. But before that dream can be realized, he must first return to England and discover the secret of his father’s legacy. --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The story of the founder of the Sackett clan, Juil 17 2004
Par Henry Cate III (CA. United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sackett's Land (Mass Market Paperback)
Louis L'Amour wrote over a hundred westerns. His best-known series are a set of stories about the Sacketts, a family of tough men and women. Many of the books are about the men coming out west and their adventures. They have integrity and stand up for truth and justice. They don't go looking for trouble, but when it comes to them, they don't back down.

"Sackett's Land" sets the stage for the rest of the stories. It doesn't take place in the west in the late 1800s, but starts in England as Barnabas Sackett has some troubles and heads for the New World in the 1600s. He has great adventures and does great things. There is lots of fighting, but instead of with guns it is more often with swords.

The story starts off quickly with Barnabas finding some old coins and trying to sell them. He encounters the nephew of an earl. The nephew ends up looking foolish; the nephew doesn't like being made a fool of so he decides to kill Barnabas. Barnabas runs, and along the way we are introduced to old England, England in the early 1600s. We meet people of all walks of life. Then the story moves to America and back to England.

This is a fun book. It is easy to read and entertaining. If you haven't read it, it is worth reading. If you have read it, do yourself a favor and read it again.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Possibly the best of the Sackett tales!, Fév 9 2004
Par Kerry C. Camp "kcc67" (Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sackett's Land (Mass Market Paperback)
Barnabas Sackett has grit and he has the ability to draw to him men of like mind and substance. He is a master of weapons and often has need of his talent. This tale spans both sides of the Atlantic and even places the hero in one situation at the Globe Theatre in England. But, alas, trouble finds him before he is allowed to see young Shakespeare's latest play!

I especially love this and the following book in the Sackett series, "To the Far Blue Mountains".

For more historical fiction that spans the lands of Europe and Russia in the 12th Century, read "The Walking Drum". It has much the same feel as this and other early Sackett novels.

5.0étoiles sur 5 No six-shooters here, but those sabers get it done too !, Déc 16 2002
This review is from: Sackett's Land (Mass Market Paperback)
What a legacy ! Barnabas Sackett is the grandfather of them all and what an awesome introduction into the series. It stands as one of the best adventures of the entire series (19 great Sackett stories). I admire a Sackett's ability to partner up with valiant side-kicks who are quite loyal and hold their own along side their 'main-man'. Barnabas is a stud !! Great book,if you have a choice, read these books in order, but if you don't you still get awesome results from a single read. Thanks again Mr. Lamour.
