About this listen
Reporter Reuben Bourne has broken a promise - to cast a paramilitary white supremacy group in a favorable light. Now, one basically peaceful man, one with a paradoxical attraction for violence, must confront a force of unrelenting hate. Somehow, he must survive - as he leads his family on a desperate flight into a wilderness as unforgiving as the fanatical humans who pursue him.
From the best-selling author of First Blood, The Brotherhood of the Rose, The Fraternity of Stone, The League of Night and Fog, The Fifth Profession, and The Covenant of the Flame comes Testament, the internationally acclaimed thriller classic by David Morrell that is his most probing, most chilling work of psychological suspense... and a novel that speaks to today's issues and fears as freshly and as powerfully as ever before.

Story
In 1916, Mexican bandit Pancho Villa raided the southwestern border town of Columbus, New Mexico. Three hundred American soldiers fought four hundred attackers in a battle that ended with one of the last cavalry charges in U.S. history. Outraged, Congress ordered the U.S. Army to invade Mexico in pursuit of Villa. For the first time, trucks and airplanes accompanied U. S. cavalry into combat, practicing for America’s entry into World War I. Influenced by Sam Peckinpah, Rambo-creator David Morrell dramatizes this epic era in American history through the eyes of a civilian scout old enough to have been in the Civil War, the Indian wars, Cuba, and the Philippines. Knowing that his ways are finished, he teaches a young recruit about the past, at a cost he never expected to pay.

Story
When police chief Nathan Slaughter settles in the tiny mountain community of Potter’s Field, Wyoming, his most fervent prayer is that he has left behind him forever the nightmare he barely survived on a blizzardy night in Detroit. But nothing prepares him for the greater sanity-threatening nightmare he is about to confront. Beginning with the discovery of mutilated cattle on outlying ranches, Slaughter is drawn deeper and deeper into a vortex of terror as animals become savage and children go insane, trapping the entire town in a frenzy of violence. As Slaughter races against time to expose the horrifying secret behind the increasingly savage attacks, he also struggles to overcome his deepest fears.

Beginning with the discovery of mutilated cattle on outlying ranches, Slaughter is drawn deeper and deeper into a vortex of terror as animals become savage and children go insane, trapping the entire town in a frenzy of violence.

Story
In 1916, Mexican bandit Pancho Villa raided the southwestern border town of Columbus, New Mexico. Three hundred American soldiers fought four hundred attackers in a battle that ended with one of the last cavalry charges in U.S. history. Outraged, Congress ordered the U.S. Army to invade Mexico in pursuit of Villa. For the first time, trucks and airplanes accompanied U. S. cavalry into combat, practicing for America’s entry into World War I. Influenced by Sam Peckinpah, Rambo-creator David Morrell dramatizes this epic era in American history through the eyes of a civilian scout old enough to have been in the Civil War, the Indian wars, Cuba, and the Philippines. Knowing that his ways are finished, he teaches a young recruit about the past, at a cost he never expected to pay.

A really good thriller
Would you consider the audio edition of Testament to be better than the print version?
Yes. I've only used the print (Kindle) version once. Near the beginning there was a switch from talking about current events to giving an info dump. The print version helped me see where each started and stopped. It was the only time I needed the print version.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Testament?
All I can say is the moment exists, but if I explained it here, it would be a spoiler.
Have you listened to any of Benjamin L. Darcie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. He's really good, though.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It's made me laugh. It's surprised me.
Any additional comments?
This is my first fictional book by David Morrell and I'm looking forward to listening to more of his books.
