Loving it. The plot turns are awfully convenient, but I love the language, and then there's useful stuff like this:
"I'd backed up against that grove on purpose. Looked at from down below no smoke would show against the white of the tree trunks and the gray-green of the leaves...
There's no prettier place than a stand of aspen. The elk and beaver like the bitter inner bark, and you'll nearly always find them where there's aspen. There's no thing that provides more grub More...

Louis L'Amour never disappoints. This is definitely one of his best efforts and is effortless in the reading of it. A brave man, a woman to "ride the river with" and the continuing saga of the Sackett family.
For even a rebellious drifter knows that part of being a Sackett is backing up your family when they need you.

I think if anybody apart from Terrence Mann narrated this audiobook I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much, but his voice is phenomenal-it brings life to the characters and retains my interest.

This is the first Louis L'Amour I have read. We listened to it on CD on a road trip, and I found it very enjoyable. His descriptions are really good. I'd like to read more of his books.

My admiration of Louis L'Amour's writing grows with each book I read. May I learn to write fight scenes as well as he does.

I really like this series, probably one of my favorite series of any genre.

If you like stories about good guys who kick butt and get the girl and the bad guys who get it in the end, read Louis L'amour. He also has a knack for describing scenery, and every canyon, spring, etc. he mentions truly exists. He was a great authority on the American Wild West which is not quite how Hollywood often portrays it.
