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.

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.

Homestead

I really like this writer. I read another book from him also. fourteen fifteen. fifteen.

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.

The best book I’ve listened to since I got audible 4 months ago

Everything was awesome! The visualizations the author has created amazing! Really good read I never zoned out throughout the whole book

Decent story ruined by Narrator

VA robbed the experience from me. Audio quality is horrible and the narrator sounds like he’s reading a eulogy for a guy he never knew. Story is ok, pretty different from the authors later work but still not bad.
