WHEN THE LEGENDS DIE

by Hal rland ; Read by Norman Dietz ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

In this fascinating coming-of-age portrait, Thomas Black Bull's journey from the child, Bear's Brother, to the fearsome rodeo rider, Killer Tom Black, is painted with compassion and insight. Forced to learn the White Man's ways, Tom reaches adulthood consumed by rage. Read with great vigor by Norman Dietz, the recording bursts with the energy of rodeo circuit and transports the listener to the southwest. The accurate portrayal of Tom's Ute ancestry and way of life, the sorrow and frustration of losing his heritage, and his angry retaliation at the world make this an excellent listening choice for adults and teenagers. It would also be a wonderful addition to high school units on the Native American experience.

    RUBBER LEGS AND WHITE TAIL-HAIRS

    by Patrick F. McManus ; Read by George S. Irving ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

    George S. Irving adopts Patrick McManus's characters with gusto. Sit back and listen to yarn after yarn. Irving relishes each story, whether it's fishing stories, such as "Claw of the Sea-Puss" or "To Filet or Not to Filet," or the escapades with McManus's wary but vulnerable neighbors. Irving has the jocular chuckle down pat, and the low comedy satire comes off without a hitch. Listeners can imagine Irving tipping back a chair at the country store swapping lies with cronies and entertaining any comers with these hilarious tales. His repertoire of more than eight collections of McManus stories encourages this kind of ownership!

      RED CHAMELEON

      by Smart M. Kaminsky ; Read by Mark Hammer ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

      As changes occur in Russia, many high-tech spy and intrigue stories become dated, but Kaminsky's mysteries with Inspector Rostnikov have a timeless, enduring quality like the character himself. Mark Hammer's portrayal of Rostnikov brilliantly enhances the text. The inexorable pace Hammer chooses is perfect for the police inspector who believes "You catch more with patience than with speed." The interplay of recent and long-forgotten histories is narrated with the right amount of change in vocal pitch and cadence. Hammer's interpretation gives the listener an interest as compelling as Rostnikov's in understanding the riddles of the plot.
