Robledo Mountain

By: P.C. Allen

Narrated by: Dan Carroll

Paul McAllister, an aging military retiree, wants nothing more at this point in his life than to put the wars, cancer, and death of his wife behind him as he numbly glides into his final years doing the only thing he still enjoys – selling weapons and his services as a gunsmith on the gun show circuit of the American southwest.

Driving down the road in the Mesilla Valley of southern New Mexico, sandwiched in the few hundred yards between the Robledo Mountains to the West and the Rio Grande to the East, Paul loses consciousness while returning home from a gun show. An hour later, he regains consciousness finding himself swept away on the tides of time.

Is he really in the past? Is he dreaming? Is he in the midst of a psychotic episode? So begins his journey of discovery. Along the way, he battles Apache, Comanche, and Navajo warriors, fights bushwackers, discovers his roots, mines gold, finds love and friendship, and makes powerful enemies, all while establishing a home in the Mesilla Valley on the banks of the Rio Grande.

Excellent story about 1850's New Mexico

A retired veteran of Desert Storm is transported to 1850 New Mexico Territory. He makes his mark along the Rio Grand and the entire Southwest.

I like the story but

I did like the story but I did not care for the narrator of the book. I've read the book already and was looking forward to the audible version of Robledo Mountain. I just couldn't get into the audio version like I did the written version. Maybe the narrator will improve in the next title in the series. P C Allen does pretty good for his first novel and yes there are mistakes. What I like about him is that the next book is better. Mr. Allen improves his writing skills with each book. I never though about visiting New Mexico but after reading the series I would like to visit New Mexico now. It seems to be a beautiful part of the country.

book is great audio ehh at best

the book is a great read and pretty well written the narrator on the other hand is only ok with male voices and the narration is stilted at best the real problem is the female voices the're just BAD as in they sound like 60yo smokers with a cold

Finally it’s on Audible

This is the first of the series and I have been waiting for it. I have enjoyed the story and it gives a great alternative history of Southern New Mexico. It’s one the best of this genre. I hope that the rest of the series will be out in audible soon.

Great read....

Has three more in print in series....worth finding....series is ongoing.....mix of old west and sci-fi, which doesn't always work, but this author has done a great job......
