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."@en
