About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Dark Frontier by Matthew Harffy, read by Barnaby Edwards.

A thrilling historical western set in 1890s Oregon, from the author of the critically acclaimed Bernicia Chronicles. An English soldier turned policeman escapes to the American West for a new future, but life on the frontier proves far harder than he ever imagined...

A man can flee from everything but his own nature.

1890. Lieutenant Gabriel Stokes of the British Army left behind the horrors of war in Afghanistan for a role in the Metropolitan Police. Though he rose quickly through the ranks, the squalid violence of London’s East End proved just as dark and oppressive as the battlefield.

With his life falling apart, and longing for peace and meaning, Gabriel leaves the grime of London behind and heads for the wilderness and wide open spaces of the American West.

He soon realises that the wilds of Oregon are far from the idyll he has yearned for. The Blue Mountains may be beautiful, but with the frontier a complex patchwork of feuds and felonies, and ranchers as vicious as any back alley cut-throat in London, Gabriel finds himself unable to escape his past and the demons that drive him. Can he find a place for himself on the far edge of the New World?©2024 Matthew Harffy (P)2024 Head of Zeus

upgrade for western genra fans.

Much better written than run of the mill westerns. Compelling story line refreshing the recurring theme of land baron versus the small rancher found in many westerns. Interesting melding of American frontier and European sensibilities.

Reasonable plot, good character development and interesting perspective.

I liked the plot, the character development and pace of the story. Characters appeared realistic in their manner for the time.

No slow starts here.

I'm only four hours in, but so far this story is enaging, and has been from the very beginning, with several interesting characters already. I almost didn't purchase it because the time period is not my favorite, but I've enjoyed others books from Matthew Harffy, so I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did.
