Summary

In this thrilling epic of the American West, New York Times best-selling authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone capture the human side of the frontier experience in all its glory, grit, and grandeur - through the eyes of one remarkable teenage boy.

Leaving their Pennsylvania home to forge a new life in the untamed Oregon Territory of 1845, the Colter family is ambushed by a kill-crazy gang of cutthroats on the Oregon Trail. Fifteen-year-old Tim Colter manages to escape and hide - only to return and find his parents butchered, his sisters Nancy and Margaret missing, and one last killer waiting for his return.

Forced to fight for his life, the young Colter embarks on a perilous journey across a lawless frontier, hoping to save his sisters and salvage the dream they lived for. But first Tim has to figure out how to survive. Luckily he finds a new friend in Jed Reno, a grizzled one-eyed trapper who has lived in the Rocky Mountains since the 1820s - and who was attacked by the same gang that ambushed Tim's family.

Together the mountain man and the greenhorn set out after the marauders, blazing a trail of vengeance that leads them to one of the deadliest men in the territory. With danger at every turn and death just a heartbeat away, Colter has no choice but to grow up fast - one bullet at a time.

Hard to put down.

The reader gave the words emotion. You could see John Wayne playing "Big Medicine". That may be why he liked the story also.

Great western yarn

Loved the book, and the development of the main characters. Old school kind of western that just works so well.

Was ok but there is a lot of fluff

Narration is good.

In the first half of the book there is a great deal of fluff that feels like it’s pulling me away from the story too much. Would have preferred all the flashbacks explained at the beginning instead of constantly butting into the story which annoyed me and there’s a lot of fluff which doesn’t need to be there.

The story was ok but it was nothing fantastic and sometimes very boring

was ok but nothing great

I thought one of the characters the narrator made out to be very like John Wayne the story was decent but nothing great and I was slightly disappointed but that's my fault the joys of reading and listening is you yourself make picture the scenes to others this would have been a good book to me it was nothing more than ok however I have. given it a credible 3 stars
