Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

John Curless's rendition of Jubal Sackett is exceptional. His well-modulated voice flows as he tells the legend of Jubal, a powerful medicine man the Indians called "Ni'Kwana, Master of Mysteries." With the help of Itchakomi, a Natchez princess, he blazes a trail through the American wilderness from the Appalachians to the Rocky Mountains. Curless uses deft timing and an easy-reading style to draw listeners into Jubal's world. He easily distinguishes the various male characters using pacing, volume, and accents, and even manages to make the halting British English of the Indians sound natural. An enchanting listening experience. S.C.A.

Product Description

Filled with action, adventure, mystery, and historical detail, the Sackett saga is an unforgettable achievement by one of America's greatest storytellers. In Jubal Sackett, the second generation of this great American family pursues a destiny in the wilderness of a sprawling new land.

Kindred spirits on a restless quest...

Jubal Sackett's urge to explore drove him westward, and when a Natchez priest asks him to undertake a nearly impossible quest, Sackett ventures into the endless grassy plains the Indians call the Far Seeing Lands. He seeks a Natchez exploration party and its leader, Itchakomi. It is she who will rule her people when their aging chief dies, but first she must vanquish her rival, the arrogant warrior Kapata. Sackett's quest will bring him danger from an implacable enemy ... and show him a life -- and a woman -- worth dying for. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars A decent read, but a bit monochromatic, Sep 23 2003
This review is from: Jubal Sackett (Mass Market Paperback)
A typical L'Amour book - a dashing, trustworthy protagonist, just trying to live in peace but able to defend himself if and when necessary. Jubal Sackett is loved and trusted by all except the villains, who themselves have absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. In other words, the characters are very flat and monochromatic, and as a result, they come across as very artificial.

One thing you have to hand to L'Amour, though - he writes book easily read in an evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars great audio book, Mar 13 2003
By mike griffin (richmond va) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jubal Sackett (Audio Cassette)
This by far is the best audio book Ive listened to.

The guy reading the story has an accent that fits the story perfectly. While this is a lengthy book it is never boring
The pacing is perfect and the story itself is riviting.
Do yourself a favor and get this on audio. You will not be dissappionted

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Lamour's better books, Dec 16 2002
This review is from: Jubal Sackett (Mass Market Paperback)
I have yet to read many of his books, but I must say that all of Lamour's books are great. Jubal Sackett is a special character. I appreciate that Lamour spent more time on this book (or at least made it longer than usual) in order to give us a full scope of Jubal's transcending years in his migration to the west. The Sacketts are successful because they are well learned in many a trade and they don't take things for granted. They nurture their friendships when they can and comfront their enemies just as readily. You feel this story, you root for the characters and you feel as though you are among them. I guess this is more of a mountain man book than a western, but it still sets the setting for the Sackett's pushing west. A great book.
