About this listen
Beckett, an ex-cowboy turned mountain man, is no hero. He doesn't even carry a gun. The northern Idaho territory gold rush has not only brought settlers and miners to his mountain; it's also brought outlaws and killers, and he wants no part of it. On his bi-yearly supply trip to Temperance, Beckett witnesses a local miner horrifically gunned down by a sheriff's deputy. He comes to find that a ruthless businessman has appointed himself sheriff and is holding the town captive, acquiring their gold claims along the Coeur d'Alene River. When the sheriff's men threaten to destroy him and the people he cares about, Beckett is forced to fight back, armed only with his wits, his strength, and his Bowie knife.

It's the Arizona Territory. The year, 1848. The year the Mexican War ended. Fate and blazing pistols have just thrown together reporter and part-time drunk Marion T. Bell and the very nearly legendary John Charles Hart, mustanger and scout, in the Little Fanny Saloon. Plying the river-trade across the Colorado to the gold fields of California in the north, and war-torn Mexico to the south, the town of Gable's Ferry has sprung up overnight-lacking only a church, a schoolhouse and a jail.

The present, a brand new, lever action Winchester 1886 and a box of its big .50-caliber slugs, never makes it there. Instead, the rifle is caught up in a train robbery and starts a long and violent journey of its own - from the hands of a notorious, kill-crazy outlaw to an Apache renegade to a hardscrabble rancher and beyond.

Now nearly sixty, he’s a proud husband, father of four, and proprietor of the Powderhorn Ranch. He’s more content wrangling cows than criminals.

They’ve made the mistake of targeting his wife and children—only to discover that Ty Brannigan enforces his own law with a lightning-fast draw.

It’s 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis “Bone” McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise.

kept me intrigued the entire time
Beckett is a man who has been avoiding his past. After ten years of running from his demons the mountain man is heading to Colorado to confront them. Mr. Beckett makes a stop in Temperence to get some supplies for his journey, and see some old friends before he goes. While visiting, he meets the the daughter of an old friend and is immediately smitten. Soon after a confrontation with a deputy he discovers some major changes to town in the six months since his last visit; Walter Cain just moved to town, he opened a bank, he started buying up all the land in the area, and he became sheriff. On top of that he a bully and will do about anything for money. Enter Beckett, the reluctant yet effective hero.
This is book 1 in a new western trilogy by Matt Prescott, and I plan on listening to the next one. Despite the fact that this is a fairly stereotypical story, it was well executed and kept me intrigued the entire time. The protagonist, Beckett, and his love interest, Abigail, have quite a bit of depth for 5 hour audio book. While I really enjoyed the writing style and the heroes of the story, the antagonists are very cliche and lacked an real menace. That being said, the narrator really did a great job of conveying the attitude and condescension of Cincinnati.
Buddy Hatton was a perfect choice for this story, he has a great voice for the genre. He also did a great job of creating unique voices for the characters as well as executing the performance extremely well. While I've never heard of Mr. Halton and there doesn't seem to much from him on audible, he has had a very long career in show business and his performance here is enough to put him on my watch list. Pair the great narration with some very good audio production and some solid writing that will hold your attention, and you have Temperance.
