THE SOUNDS OF RESCUE, THE SIGNS OF HOPE

by Robert Flynn ; Read by Scott Shina ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2004

The beloved Texan author of this 1970 novel makes listeners smile at his Robinson Crusoe tale of a WWII pilot downed on a deserted Pacific island. Only a writer with these sensibilities could draw out so many facets of what it means to be human in such a stark place. Beyond the tale of survival, the story also expresses one man's effort to put himself in perspective, to comprehend the omnipotence of God, and to maintain the resourcefulness he needs to live each day. Scott Shina's narration reveals a satisfying combination of youthful energy, alertness to the story line, and consciousness of the spiritual themes in the material.

    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!
