The Golden Snare by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

With but two years of service in the RNMP Philip Raine finds himself somewhat unwillingly on the trail of Bram Johnson, wanted for murder and a wild, untamed and savage man who commands a pack of wolves as his brethren.

But most peculiar of all is the snare which Bram had had in his possession and had somehow lost. It was a golden snare intricately woven out of the finest, most delicate flaxen hair of a woman. But what could possibly be the relationship between this half-human murderer and a woman who could have borne a crown of such beauty and elegance? The mystery of Bram Johnson and his wolves and the golden snare becomes one which Raine feels compelled to unravel even as he pursues the wild man and his pack among his own territory of the Canadian barren lands.

The Gold Hunters by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Roderick Drew has come north for one last season of hard travel and harder lessons, running the traplines with his closest friend, Wabigoon, and their grizzled guide, Mukoki. In the frozen wilds around Hudson Bay posts and endless lakes, the three stumble onto a mystery older than any of them: a forgotten cabin, ancient bones, and a birch-bark map that hints at a hidden country of gold. But before the dream can become a springtime expedition, danger strikes without warning. Wabigoon's sister, Minnetaki, is seized by the outlaw Woongas, a ruthless band driven by an old blood-feud, and time turns brutal as thaw and wind threaten to erase every track in the snow. With only Rod's memory of a half-seen trail to guide them, the friends race the Hudson Bay mail routes, drive their dog teams into the teeth of winter, and gamble their lives against hunger, cold, and ambush. Part rescue mission, part treasure quest, Curwood's classic tale fuses frontier suspense with deep loyalty to comrades and an awe for the beauty and cruelty of the northern wilderness.

The Flaming Forest by James Oliver Curwood ~ Full Audiobook [adventure] Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

The Flaming Forest by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the far northern wilderness of Canada, Sergeant David Carrigan of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police rides alone on a clear-cut mission: track down and bring in the feared outlaw known as Black Roger Audemard. But the North has its own rules, and Carrigan's certainty is shattered when an ambush leaves him wounded and at the mercy of a daring young woman, Jeanne Marie-Anne Boulain. Instead of finishing him, she keeps him alive and delivers him into the moving world of the Boulain Brigade, a tight-knit band of French-Canadian backwoodsmen led by the formidable St. Pierre Boulain. Traveling by river and trail through a country of wolves, storms, and long nights, Carrigan is forced to weigh duty against the growing pull of the people around him - and the fierce, unreadable woman who captured him. As rumors harden into threats and a manhunt tightens, alliances become dangerous, trust turns costly, and the wilderness itself rises into a raging, flame-lit test of survival. Sweeping, suspenseful, and richly atmospheric, The Flaming Forest pits law and conscience against love, loyalty, and the raw power of the wild.

The Country Beyond by James Oliver Curwood ~ Full Audiobook [adventure] Jan 31, 2023

The Country Beyond by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the spring thaw of Canadas north country near Lake Superior, a homely, big-footed puppy named Peter Pied-Bot tumbles into a story far larger than himself. Peter belongs to Nada, a young woman trapped in an isolated lakeside clearing where beauty and brutality live side by side - and where the cruel, one-eyed Jed Hawkins keeps his hold through fear and force. The one bright thread in Nadas life is Jolly Roger McKay, a restless wanderer and skilled woodsman whose gift of the pup binds the three together. When the law brands McKay a criminal and sends Sergeant Cassidy of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police after him, the wilderness becomes a vast chessboard of rivers, muskeg, cedar swamps, and hard miles. Cassidy is no simple villain, and McKay is no simple hero; Curwood lets their pursuit turn into a test of honor as much as speed. With Peter racing between loyalties and a Cree elder foretelling a meeting in a mysterious refuge called the Country Beyond, Nada must gamble on hope, love, and the thin chance of freedom before the North closes in.

Flower of the North by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

On a routine business journey up the Churchill River, Philip Whittemore expects the North to feel familiar. Instead, the farther he travels into the raw, river-cut wilderness of northern Canada, the more the land seems to shift under his feet, as if the map in his mind no longer matches what lies ahead. Drawn by rumor and by a nagging sense that something is being kept from him, Philip follows a fragile trail of hints to an isolated outpost known as Fort o' God, a settlement tucked among rock and timber and guarded by silence. There he meets Jeanne D'Arcambal, a woman whose beauty and quiet strength make her seem like the very soul of the country, and Pierre, her fierce protector. As Philip is welcomed into the settlement's daily life, wonder turns to unease: the people are wary, their pasts blurred, and Jeanne herself is surrounded by contradictions. Caught between desire and doubt, Philip becomes determined to uncover what Fort o' God is hiding, even as the North closes in with its own tests of endurance. Flower of the North blends romance, suspense, and wilderness adventure into a story about trust, identity, and the price of knowing the truth.

The Thirteenth - Greatest of Centuries by James Joseph Walsh ~ Full Audiobook [history] Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

The Thirteenth - Greatest of Centuries by James Joseph Walsh audiobook.

Genre: history

It cannot but seem a paradox to say that the Thirteenth was the greatest of centuries. To most people the idea will appear at once so preposterous that they may not even care to consider it. A certain number, of course, will have their curiosity piqued by the thought that anyone should evolve so curious a notion. Either of these attitudes of mind will yield at once to a more properly receptive mood if it is recalled that the Thirteenth is the century of the Gothic cathedrals, of the foundation of the university, of the signing of Magna Charta, and of the origin of representative government with something like constitutional guarantees throughout the west of Europe. The cathedrals represent a development in the arts that has probably never been equaled either before or since. The university was a definite creation of these generations that has lived and maintained its usefulness practically in the same form in which it was then cast for the seven centuries ever since. The foundation stones of modern liberties are to be found in the documents which for the first time declared the rights of man during this precious period.
