Summary

James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

The story of Smith’s tragic downfall has long haunted James Dommek, Jr., the great-grandson of the last of the Iñupiaq story-tellers. Midnight Son is his journey in discovering who Teddy Kyle Smith was, what he did, and what he really saw. Along the way, listeners will experience the soul of the real Alaska as narrator Dommek, Jr. brings this multilayered and sprawling tale to life. 

Please Note: Midnight Son contains adult language and violent themes. Discretion is advised.

Really good story well narrated

An excellent story, well told, I was completely engaged from start to finish. Somewhere between a detective story and a documentary

Really Well Done!

This wasn't my typical choice book. Thought I'd give it a try. Loved it. The description the author painted resonated in me. I felt connected to the land, wondered about the spirit of the legend. I've planned a trip to Alaska because this book. Also, don't like books with music and sound bites but it worked- immerse yourself, listen to it. Can't wait for another Novel. Thank you to to the author James.

good story

this was a good story that kept your attention the whole way through. it was well researched and I loved the original audio from interviewees and from court. my only problem with it is the narrator's unnecessary swearing throughout. if you don't mind the F bomb being dropped I would recommend this audiobook

James Dommek Midnight Sun

Fascinating listen, right from the get go it captures your interest and holds it, if only that could be said of every Audiobook! Dommek narration is great from such a young sounding author! Well done young man.

If there was one negative was the swearing, but who am I to judge that, but it didn’t detract from the storyline.

Thoroughly enjoyed it….

Midnight Son

A truly riveting and fascinating read. A tragic story, that would have been 100 times better told without all the swearing. Totally spoiled the story.

Fantastic Storytelling

Excellent story/research/narration/music. Clearly and calmly points out the inequality suffered by indigenous people within the judicial system of the USA which I was quite startled by as had no clue. Will follow the author for other broadcasts.
