Narrator Feodor Chin beautifully performs this revenge story set in the postCivil War American West. Ming Tsu, born in America and orphaned at birth, was raised by a California crime boss who taught him how to survive in a violent world. After Ming is forcibly recruited by the Union Pacific Railroad as a manual laborer, he escapes, determined to track down every man who tore him away from his white wife. He partners with a blind mystic and falls in with a traveling carnival of misfits who seem to perform genuine miracles. Chin delivers on all fronts: capturing the lyrical flow of the text, voicing authentic-sounding accents, building the mystery and tension, and projecting Ming's contrasting feelings of passion and rage.
