Is there a follow on to this story I HOPE ? regards john Minto.

Beau said he would possibly get to it one day, but that it wasn't a high priority. I can't find that entry in the e-reader version I have. And it might have been about another of L'Amour's books. :-(

This e-reader version does have a "missing excerpt" from the original novel, but I have yet to read it. Just found it!(less)

Are all of L'Amour's books PG in content? This almost read like a YA novel: no profanity, no sex, no drugs. Excellent writer, great descriptions of the flora but unrealistic that none of these guys swore! A bit tame...

I didn't think it was a bit tame. The adventure was so exciting, couldn't put it down!(less)

Why was there no mention of the Yakut tracker looking for evidence of Joe Mack's "droppings?' I mean, I'm sure he had to eliminate and presumably he covered it up but a good tracker would see that, right? And distinguish it from the bear, deer and big cat droppings?

Alan Frost Not a smart question . I'm no backwoods man but even I can think of a few answers. The protagonist has to deal with much harder problems than this.…moreNot a smart question .

This is my #1 favorite book written by Louis L'Amour! Is there any other books that are similar to this one?

It's 30 guys, then 6, but the suffering, the traveling, and the indomitable spirit is there in spades. There's a whole library of polar explorations going back 4-500 years. They're all worth a read.

Is there a sequel to The Last of the Breed?

Chuck Nope. It was his 2nd to last novel. Perhaps he had a sequel in his head but if so, he took it to the grave.
