I've been reading all of Johnstone's books for years and this story is still worth reading and the plot is interesting. However, when Johnstone began writing this series, Preacher would never have taken 296 pages to eliminate a few bad guys. He doesn't even the odds by invading the enemy camp at night, his shots seem to miss more often than not, and help or enemies appear as if by magic to change the odds. He keeps fighting the same battle over and over until it gets boring... or frustrating!I attribute this to Johnstone mellowing as he ages, his editors require less violence (in a western?), or Austin's influence is predominant and reflects the new breed of writers: write big books? be politically correct? don't offend the bad guys? I really don't have a clue, but it's not good escapism reading and not even close to Johnstone's earlier writing.I miss the old days when Preacher or Smoke Jensen or Ben Raines could single-handedly eliminate the bad guys without working up a sweat. But Johnstone is still entertaining me and this book is still good enough to set standards for other writers.I am over the age of 70... which is way past 13!Norm Beavers
This was a very good book, it kept me interested all the way thru the book, I always enjoy reading books that the Preacher Stars in, you know that when you buy this book, you won't be sorry that you bought this book.
I have finally found an Author who is like the great Louis Lamour. Johnstones stories area little edgier than Lamour but IIke that. This story as fast paced and kept you wanting to read. I can't wait to get another book. Very good indeed.
I have been reading all the books that have come out and I like this one for the facts that Preacher does not hit every time and is still learning. Then we meet a few others that are in the Mountain Man books. The dwarf Audie (without Lobo) and the very talkative Nighthawk make part of the fighting team. The fights are real sounding and where they are you can see what it looks like in your mind, the way a good book should do. If you like westerns you will like all of the ones that Bill wrote. The Last Mountain Man, The First Mountain man and the first 4 of the Eagles books have characters that crossover.All I can say is BUY it and see what you think. Long Live Preacher, Smoke and Falcon and bye Jamie MaCallister Well "Fred Austin" is stepping into so big shoes. With the death of William Johnstone he is now doing a find job of writing the books now. I picked up the first of Johnstone's books in 1983 and have almost all of them, even his romance novel.Dave
Don't be mislead by the book title.. Preacher doesn't go to the carnival to have his fortune told...................LOL..Similar story line as other books of the genere. Mountainman meets people who run into trouble with bad men. Preacher comes to their aid. Halfway thru the story he meets up with them again to further assist them.Preacher helps a young spanish brother & sister and a priest help retrieve some hidden gold that is somewhere in the mountains. A band of no goods also has their eye on getting the gold - all for themselves.The violence, major gunbattles and bloodshed is left for the end of the book..
Good flow from William W. Johnstone, as always. These books may be a good look at life in the West in the 1800's. William W. Johnstone's books flow so nicely that you can't put them down.
I love the Preacher Series, just wish I could get the one when Preacher was a boy named Art, just leaving home at a young age to embark on a great adventure on my Kindle...
I liked this book. It is a good read. Lots of twists and turns. Lots of action. I think readers will like this book. I would recommend this book to anyone.
