About this listen
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.Editorial reviews
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.

Story4 out of 5 stars 343
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

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.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

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.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

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.
