Acerca de esta escucha

By fall of 1863, Union forces had taken control of Tidewater Virginia and established a toehold in eastern North Carolina, including along the Outer Banks.

Thousands of freed slaves and runaways flooded the Union lines, but Confederate irregulars still roamed the region. In December, the newly formed African Brigade, a unit of these former slaves led by General Edward Augustus Wild—a one-armed,
impassioned abolitionist—set out from Portsmouth to hunt down the rebel guerrillas and extinguish the threat.

From this little-known historical episode comes Black Cloud Rising, a dramatic, moving account of these soldiers—men who only weeks earlier had been enslaved, but were now Union infantrymen setting out to fight their former owners. At the heart of the narrative is Sergeant Richard Etheridge, the son of a
slave and her master, raised with some privileges but constantly reminded of his place. Deeply conflicted about his past, Richard is eager to show himself to be a credit to his race. As the African Brigade conducts raids through the areas occupied by the Confederate Partisan Rangers, he and his comrades recognize
that they are fighting for more than territory. Wild’s mission is to prove that his troops can be trusted as soldiers in combat. And because many of the men have fled from the very plantations in their path, each raid is also an opportunity to free loved ones left behind. For Richard, this means the possibility of reuniting
with Fanny, the woman he hopes to marry one day.

With powerful depictions of the bonds formed between fighting men and heartrending scenes of sacrifice and courage, Black Cloud Rising offers a compelling and nuanced portrait of enslaved men and women crossing the threshold to freedom.

Who selected the reader?

I love audible books and I know I will really like this book. Unfortunately I have to buy a print copy because it is too painful to continue listening to the audible version. The reader’s stilted and halting style destroys the rythym of the prose, sometimes to the point of confusing the meaning of the sentences or phrases. Very disappointing. I can’t imagine that the author is happy with this rendition of his work.

No Story

This book has a promising setting and subject. I've read American history with a focus on people of color most evenings for roughly 30-years. There are few opportunities to read a historical novel that touches any part of the subject. I relished diving into this book. Sadly for me, it failed to deliver. I did not find much history or sense tension while reading this book.
