Johnstone writes a good book using common language of the time and a lot of factual data from the early west. His fictional hero, Preacher, is a man of many talents who leads us through the earliest days of europeans going west to seek their fortune in the fur trade. If you like stories of western settlement and the toughness required to survive in a new, lawless and wild world this is a good read.

William Johnstone and his series of stories about Preacher, Smoke and Matt Jensen are very enjoyable to read. His writing reminds me of Louis L'Amour. The stories are fast paced, full of action, and hard to put down. If you enjoy the stories set in the old west, and heroes like Hopalong Cassidy you will like William Johnstone's novels.
