Acerca de esta escucha
The year was 1846 and the great American Southwest was the prize in an epic conflict. The U.S. Army and the army of Mexico met in a battle that would shape the course of history, while the legendary Apache warrior chief Mangas Coloradas looked on, determined to defend his ancestral lands and age-old tribal traditions against either of the invaders or both. On this bloody battlefield young Lieutenant Nathanial Barrington faced his first great test of manhood...as he began a career that would take him to the heart of the conflict sweeping over the West from Texas to New Mexico...and plunge him into passions that would force him to choose between two very different frontier beauties.
This enthralling first novel of The Apache Wars Saga captures the drama and real history of a struggle in which no side wanted to surrender...in a series alive with all the excitement and adventures of brave men and women white and Native American who decided the future of America.
©1994 Len Levinson (P)2013 Audible, Inc.Reseñas editoriales
Prolific pulp action novelist Len Levinson's Desert Hawks takes place during the violence of the Apache Wars in the American Southwest, beginning in 1846. Packed with historical detail, this epic story tracks the blonde and all-American Lieutenant Nathanial Barrington's heroics on battlefields from Texas to New Mexico, and his struggle to choose between two different lovers on the wide frontier. Audiobook performer Bill Quinn's deep, masculine voice perfectly captures the brave, manly character of Lieutenant Barrington, sweeping up listeners in this carefully-wrought tale of love and war in the rugged beauty of the Southwest.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Historia
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Historia
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

good historical perspective
Really enjoyed the narration. The book follows 3 or 4 stories at a time but with good transition. I thought it was very realistic for the times that it covered. Even learned a few icky historical facts, like how the Apache Indians made poison for their arrows. Looking forward to following the story in the next book!

The rough and raucous Old West!
The story revolves around U.S. Army Lt. Nathaniel Barrington as he experienced the horrors and exhilaration of war. The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil under the administration of U.S. President James K. Polk. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. On Feb. 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, establishing the Rio Grande River as the U.S.-Mexican border. In Las Vegas, New Mexico, Maria Delores Cartahaul and her father worried over their existence. They had heard many terrible tales of torture and murder by the U.S. Army. Col. Stephen W. Kearny entered the city, promising the Mexican citizens that the U.S. Army would protect them and their property from the Apaches. The Mexican people did not believe him. Mangas Coloradas, a Chiricahua Apache chief, initially signed a peace treaty with the whites, as they had conquered the hated Mexicans. As the white settlers encroached upon Apache lands, conflicts ensued. Continued violations of the treaty led to Apache reprisals. Mangas Coloradas joined his son-in-law, Cochise, as well as Geronimo, in staving off the white settlers. In January 1863, Mangas Coloradas was captured and executed by the U.S. Army. This very much angered Cochise and Chief Victorio, who retaliated even more against white encroachment, a state which continued for the next nine years. Lt. Nathaniel Barrington had been seriously wounded in the opening battle of the war. After a long recovery, he returned to his home in New York. Returning was to be a joyous occasion, only to receive more bad news. It seems that Nathaniel has an over-zealous libido, to put it mildly. The man certainly has some type of problem involving women, perhaps codependent, hypersexuality, sexual dependency, or my favorite, satyriasis. He was also acquiring an unhealthy drinking problem. Determined to clean up himself and his military record, he returned to Santa Fe, seeking active duty and a fresh start. The story continued with the accounts of the Army, the Apaches, the settlers, slavery, the growth of the country, and Lt. Nathaniel Barrington. Also of note is the Johnson Massacre of 1837. It is an interesting story, containing both historical accounts and the fictional escapades of Lt. Barrington. I enjoyed the tale and recommend it to fans of the early West.

It might be good...for some
The story or stories, jump(s) around without warning. There is no transition to give a sense of what is happening. Example: one moment you are in Manhatten and then the next paragraph takes you to Apaches dancing around their fire in the Southwest. Then a few minutes later you are taken back to Manhatten. It's hard to believe that the editors were okay with this.

Sleazy pot boiler
I will give this book at 10 for sleaze and one for historical accuracy. Much of the jargon was 21st century versus 19th surgery. I can see why this book was included in Audible plus because it was worth what it cost me. At least I learned to stay away from Len Levison and stick to truly good western writers like Louis l’Amour.

review of desert Hawks
You book as many short stories of different events becomes to no conclusion on any of them the whole book never has a conclusion but just ends with events that happened and not telling you what happened after the event You could get just as much information out of an encyclopedia. I did not like this book.

Disappointing
Slow, too many threads that take too long to come together or are just left dangling. I didn’t care for the narration-too bland. The writing was also not great.

Disappointing
If you love Westerns, this book is trash. if you love Military books, this book is trash. If you love Love stories, this book is trash. If it was a paperback, it would BE in the trash. I want that 11 hours of my life back.
