About This Book
Deep in the Rocky Mountains, legendary frontiersman Preacher and his son Hawk find their trapping expedition shattered when they stumble upon a brutal kidnapping. The victim, Caroline, has lived her entire life among the Crow nation and knows nothing of the white world her captors assume she belongs to. Caught between ruthless rival trappers and hostile Blackfeet warriors, father and son must fight their way down from the High Lonesome while navigating the harder question of where Caroline truly belongs. Johnstone's frontier action moves fast, with moral stakes woven into every ambush and confrontation.
The full-cast production brings the sprawling wilderness to vivid life, with distinct voices anchoring each character across a large ensemble. Performers like Peter Holdway, Michael Glenn, and Nora Achrati give the supporting cast genuine personality rather than generic frontier archetypes. At under four and a half hours, the pacing is relentless without feeling rushed. The audio format suits Johnstone's style particularly well, converting his punchy, action-forward prose into something closer to an old-school radio drama with modern production values.
