The Homestead

By: Douglass Hoover

Narrated by: Michael Mahony

Centered deep in the Alaskan bush, the Homestead offers a primal refuge for young men and women disenchanted by the modern era. Only accessible via helicopter or a series of rugged, treacherous trails, this Thoreauvian utopia stands as a testament to humanity’s ability to thrive in its natural state.

But when a grizzly bear attack kicks off an increasingly violent chain of events, the secrets of the Homestead’s founder, Augustin Stark, risk being brought into the light. As he grapples to keep the family he’s created together, a malevolent outside force joins the fray: one that threatens to destroy not only the community but the people themselves.

stark reminder that sacrifice for this country is overlooked when the need for you expires.

veteran brotherhood that never fades. The bonds forged in fire don't cool when the people with power decide there's no longer a need.

Not bad…

Worst part was the whistling “S” in the narrator’s voice, and the audio almost sounded like it was recorded from a transistor radio… kinda liked it after a few chapters, giving that feel of an old story.
Good book, second i’ve heard from Hoover.

Good story

Wow, that was not what I expected. A good story that makes you feel all emotions, especially anger for injustices that happen daily. 😃🐾

Just ok…

Was expecting something “other worldly” like this author’s other stories. But it wasn’t to be. Gave up listening to in order to find another listen.

Bad narrator

This book is amazing but the monotone nature of the reader and the lack of emotion makes this a difficult listen! Don’t use this guy again!!’ Argh!
