American Meteor

Reviews

“[A] pithy, compact, beautifully conducted version of the American Dream, from its portrait of the young wounded soldier in the beginning to its powerful rendering of Crazy Horse’s prophecy for life on earth at the end.”

“Like the western sky, American Meteor stretches to the horizon in all directions…A lovely panorama to behold.”

“[American Meteor] is not only a history lesson but also a reading pleasure.”

“A spiritual treatise that forces its readers to examine their own role in history’s unceasing march forward [and] casts new and lyrical light on our nation’s violent past.”

“This feels like a campfire tale, an old-fashioned yarn full of rich historical detail about hard-earned lessons.”

“Rather like Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man…[Lock] writes beautifully, with many subtle, complex insights.”

“Memorably encompasses grand themes and notions of transcendence without ever losing sight of the grit and moral horrors present in the period.”

“Narrator Mark Bramhall employs a slightly gravelly tone for world-weary Stephen Moran…Bramhall’s versatility in voicing dialogue shines as he portrays a diverse group of people across a range of ages and ethnicities…Bramhall’s perfect pacing and understated drama enliven Moran’s adventures.”
