Preacher's Fire (The First Mountain Man Book 16)

Johnstone makes these tails seem true. I enjoy all of his series that I have tried. Keep them coming. His bio leads to these tales.

People do like a good story and this is one ofJohnstone’s best. Preacher’s been in tough spots before but this one’s unique. I’ll never look at St Louis the same again.

Another great moving action filled western with our friends from the Rockies, Preacher, Uncle Dan Sullivan, Dog and Horse. Everyone on their way to St. Loos(Louis), to locate a devious thug named "Shad Beaumont." A man killer who had caused the death of Uncle Dan's nephew Pete. Now Beaumont had the nerve to put a "BOUNTY"on Preacher, because Preacher slayed all the thugs Beaumont had sent to take over the fur business of the Hudson Bay Fur Company. It's what we call a syndicate today extending out west...you know wealth..and no law to hinder your extortion...,but there was a blockade called"PREACHER."Everyone will ENJOY this adventure series of"THE FIRST MOUNTAIN MAN, PREACHER."

In the Johnstone way, Preacher's Fire is an exciting read. Not only is Johnstone one of the best writers in the western genre, he is bring his family along as well. In this adventure, Preacher along with Uncle Dan come out of the Rocky Mountains and head for St. Louis to deal with a rouge named Shad Beaumont. Asssuming another identity the mountain man works to disrupt and finally end the life of Beaumont, a man to evil to live. Another well written novel that entertains from beginning to end.

William Johnstone and his series of stories about Preacher, Smoke and Matt Jensen are very enjoyable to read. His writting 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 heros like Hopalong Cassidy you eill like all of William Johnstone's novels. If you want your heroes more down to earth then these may turn you off.  Preacher's Fire (The First Mountain Man)

Well written as always not really much of a mystery as are most Johnstone novels. Also he has left the door open to another story and characters from this story.

I am collecting William Johnstone's western books - specifically the series about Preacher, Smoke Jensen and Matt Jensen. I enjoy them all. The basic plots are similar, of course. Preacher (or Smoke or Matt) gets his man (or men) after gun battles (or fist fights or knife fights) in various places, sometimes with help, but each story is different enough I find them enjoyable and easy reading.

A little different from some of the other First Mountain Man series books. There's a little wagon train fight scene as you would expect; but most of the book will have you waiting in suspense for something to happen while Preacher tries to make his move on Shad Beaumont in town. Overall not a bad book at all; but may have you wishing Preacher would quit beating around the bush to get his job done.
