George Washington Hayduke III was last seen clinging to a rock face in the wilds of Utah as an armed posse hunted him down for his eco-radicalist crimes. Now he is back with a fiery need for vengeance.

In this sequel to the enormously popular and entertaining The Monkey Wrench Gang, Hayduke teams up with his old pals Doc Sarvis, Seldom Seen Smith, and Bonnie Abbzug in a battle against the world's biggest earth-moving machine. Fundamentalist preacher Dudley Love, the mastermind behind "G O L I A T H", wants to turn the Grand Canyon into a uranium mine, but not if eco-warrior Hayduke and his group of committed environmentalist friends have anything to say about it.

Hayduke Lives! is full of noisy politics and seemingly improbable situations (yet all too real) that showcase Abbey's energetic prose and his infectious comic genius as a writer.

This was a very good follow up to The Monkey Wrench Gang! It was a bit more rough with lots of cussing. I enjoyed how the characters waffle from action to being settled with life to action. The reader was good. The voice was great for Doc Sarvis! Time for another Edward Abbey!

A very good part 2!

Abbey's descriptions of the landscape of the west is always beautiful even when he is being snarky. This novel brings us up to date on the gang and moves the story forward. It's a fun read but it's not nearly as much fun as the Monkey Wrench Gang.

A Fun Ride with the Gang...

The first book was fantastic- this one not so much-too much rambling on and over elaboration.

Not as good.

I'm generally a fan of Abbey's work and the story line seems like a good one, but the narrator's performance definitely took me out of the story here. His tone seemed more sarcastic (or just negative, maybe) than I would have liked. His pace is also varied poorly, dragging in some places where I felt things would have moved faster and rushed in some places that I felt would have gone more slowly. It gave the whole book a very awkward feeling for me. After a couple of chapters, I seriously considered asking for a refund on this title. If you can find it voiced by someone else, I'd recommend that.

Meh

I’ve read all but this. Maybe it was the listening. But this is not his strong writing. In fact- it’s not really strong. Loooooove many others. Liked it. Didn’t love it.

Not his best

It’s a crime to hear the important and fantastic work of the immortal Ed Abbey nearly ruined by terrible narration. Campbell’s voice is well-suited to portray old-timers and desert curmudgeons, but he does young people and women poorly and his accents are simply awful. But hearing the final chapters in the epic of the Monkey Wrench Gang is worth it.

Abbey’s work excellent, narrator terrible

the comparison to monkey wrench, abbey is freezer with his commentary. so many excellent sections of writing. presently I'm reading the brave cowboy his first book speaking about a form of slavery. his ability to protest is just beautiful!

another turn of the wrench 🔧

Do it, read this! Revive your spirit for environmental justice. Remember that we are all people. We have great agency. We could make the right choices if we wanted to.

it's worth it

Another great story from Edward Abbey and why the Southwest is worth protecting. His rich verbiage is so descriptive and so pleasant to savor every phrase. He knows his characters, and they are complex. hHis stories pass the test of time.

Classic Abbey
