Audiofile magazine says:
Here's a good example of how reading can amplify text. Schirner's rich baritone manages to make Brand's novel seem better than it really is. Brand tells the story of two orphans, opposites in every respect, who experience deserving fates. Schirner gives voice to a variety of characters, from ten-year-old boys to middle-aged wives and elderly prospectors. Not surprisingly he's at his best when Brand is. Even though he can't disguise Brand's misogyny and racism, he keeps us guessing about what will happen until the very end. --D.A.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Blackie and Red were running away from the orphanage when they were found by Andy Connell. He offered them a home with him and his wife. The boys were as different as the color of their hair, and each had his own approach to getting ahead in the world. Blackie scorned Red's proud determination to be his own man. And, when Andy Connell struck it rich, Blackie just knew that life was going to give him everything he deserved. Listen in to find out just what that was!

NOTE: This audiobook is a Brilliance BookCassette. Every BookCassette is a recording that is both unabridged and affordable. To give you the complete book at an affordable price, Brilliance has used a unique recording method that uses both tracks on each side of the tape and therefore requires balance control on the tape player you use. Twice as much recording can be captured on the same tape. Most non-portable tape players have balance control. Your tape player's balance control allows each track to be isolated for listening.

When using players without balance control (I.E. portables & personal players), a BookCassette Adapter is needed. One end of this adapter plugs into the headphone jack on your player and the other end into your headset. Call Brilliance Audio, 1-800-854-7859 for more information and/or to purchase the adapter at a small price.
