About this listen
The Drop Edge of Yonder begins in the mountains of Colorado and ends in the far reaches of the Northwest, a journey that includes the beginnings of a Mexican revolution, a voyage across the Gulf of Mexico to Panama, and up the coast of California to San Francisco and the gold fields. Along the trail, Zebulon becomes involved in a series of tragic love triangles, witnesses the death of his mother and father, and confronts the age-old questions of life, love, and death.

Slow Fade is the portrait of Wesley Hardin, whose life has been devoted to manipulations of all kinds: cinematic images, conference table negotiations, actors, technicians, and even (and especially) those closest to him. Nearing the end of his career, he tries to divest himself of illusions, to make peace with his demons and his past. The process is complex and at times appears to occur by committee.

The Brave Cowboy is a classic of modern Western literature. It follows Jack Burns, a loner at odds with modern civilization. He rides a feisty chestnut mare across the New West—a once beautiful land now smothered beneath airstrips and superhighways. An "anarchist cowboy," he lives by a personal code of ethics that sets him on a collision course with the keepers of law and order. After a prison breakout plan goes awry, he finds himself and his horse, Whisky, pursued across the desert towards the mountains that lead to Mexico, and to freedom.

Their deep and instant connection fueled a love affair and inspired plans to escape their owner, Master Wilson, who claimed Chloe as his concubine.

Story
It is the last decade of the 19th century. The Wild West has been tamed and its fierce, independent and often violent larger-than-life figures – gun-toting wanderers, trappers, prospectors, Indian fighters, cowboys, and lawmen –are now victims of their own success. They are heroes who’ve outlived their usefulness.

Not Castenada
I thought this would be an interesting blend of Hockensmith and Carlos Castenada but instead it was weak in both parts. The mountain man scenes were clearly made by someone who'd never spent time in the woods and the spiritual parts seemed disconnected and uninteresting. Not recommended.

Terrible
I have never reviewed a book before but was compelled to with this one. The book is awful! Worst book I have ever tried to listen to. Don't know why I made it to the end. Guess I couldn't believe that something wasn't going to happen that made sense but it never did. Don't waste your money on this book!

Very disappointing
Like most of the characters in this novel, I gambled and lost. I took a chance on this book, hoping it would be another Lonesome Dove...but I was very disappointed. There were no likeable characters, it was a little too surrealistic for me, and I only endured til the end hoping to discern a plot. The story wasn't even a good substitute for the local talk radio on a morning commute.
