Summary

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak.

But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission.

The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Oregon is an emotionally charged new Audible Original short thriller from Audie Award-winning and internationally best-selling author Don Winslow. Masterfully performed by four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris, it delivers an audio experience that will stay with you long after it’s over. Listen now.

Friends, Dreams, Money and ...

This is another great little freebie from audible and the incomparable Don Winslow. It's thematically like an expanded Bruce Springsteen song from the late seventies, early eighties (and that's a good thing). It's about trying to escape from your home town, your dad, avoiding the draft, making some cash and getting a better life. It's the American Dream, except, sometimes your dreams become nightmares. It's a brilliant hour and six minutes from one of the greatest storytellers America has ever produced.

Better than expected

For a short story this was unexpectedly good it gets you and works well. Once you get into it you kind of want it to go further but you realise it cannot but it still wraps up well does not leave you hanging

pointless

A short story about nothing. Absolute waste of time and words. It was more like a prologue to a proper story. Just when things show potential, it's over.
