Fallen Land A Novel Taylor Brown Books

Set in the last year of the Civil War, Taylor Brown’s “Fallen Land” begins with Callum. As the story unfolds, Callum is sent out with orders from the “Colonel” to their troop of horse thieves to find food for their men. While searching the closest home, he comes upon a young girl, Ava, and attempts to save her from the fate he foresees happening to her if she doesn’t hide.

Together Callum, his horse Reiver, and Ava make their way, sometimes on horseback, sometimes on foot, from her family home in Virginia. They slowly make their way through the carnage and destruction brought by the war.

Despite their fears, despite a changing landscape and the dangers from man, animal and nature everywhere, with each day and each night its own new horror show, there is an ease to both Callum and Ava that allows their trust to grow as the miles and days go by. Slowly, naturally, sweetly they grow to be a team by choice.

Brown’s prose through “Fallen Land” is gorgeous, raw, perfection for the setting and the era. “Fallen Land” is a stunning debut novel.

Fallen Land A Novel Taylor Brown Books Reviews

The only reason I gave it a four instead of a five is because I think his second novel, The River of Kings s stronger. After I read that I wanted to read Fallen Land. I loved it too and am eagerly awaiting more brilliant novels from this promising writer.
What an adventure! This is the second book I have read by this author. His writing flows so well that I find myself reading too fast. I have to re-read some of the paragraphs to appreciate the beautifully descriptive words and phrases. I am drawn in by not only the story line but the interesting and well developed characters.
This is the second book I’ve read by this author and I was little disappointed with both. Both stories revolved around the main character and a villain heading for a big showdown or confrontation. The problem is both the confrontations were very underwhelming. Kind of a dud both times.
Suffer. Suffer, add blood, and suffer some more. I read it - keep waiting for it to get better, then it was over and was left with the question why?
The civil war was just an convenient time frame to locate the story line to create interest. If I want to read suffering I read Game of Thrones with fully developed characters I can feel empathy for.
I LOVED THIS BOOK!! It is so refreshing to read a book by an author who uses imagination to develop a story rather than work from the same "cookie cutter" pattern as most current authors do. Additionally, this book is a great insight into the most significant conflict of American history - the Civil War. I have now read all Taylor Brown books and can't wait for the next one! If he keeps going he will be as great as Ken Follett (my all time favorite!).
A really well-written book about a teenage boy riding with Confederate raiders in the Civil War. He rescues a girl about his age who was violated by the leader of his band. The Colonel is shot and killed by Union forces as he chased after the boy, who was blamed for the death. A bounty put on his head by the Colonels’ brother, who is an expert tracker and uses bloodhounds to find his quarry. This scenario ensures an exciting chase and a series of near-misses as the boy and girl ride to his relatives farm and safe haven. A seamless plot, historical and societal accuracy, and an inventive believable finish make this a great read.
Excellent character development. The novel traces the trials and adventures of a young couple, Ava and Callum. Highly recommended! The tale includes rape, a faithful horse, starvation, fear, evil, a bounty hunter, murder, destruction and ruin, love, fear, the burning of Atlanta, a hanging, and more. This novel is well written and fast paced. It definitely will keep your attention. The novel deserves an A++++++
