The Warrior's Path » (REISSUE)

Louis L'Amour's 115 title-plus bibliography is astonishing on its own; even more so given the fact that his writing career did not start in earnest until his 40s. Simply being prolific, however, does not a bestselling author make. L'Amour's Western stories, as written by a real-life adventurer, capture the survivalism and code of honor on which the American frontier mythology rests.

Set in 1620 in Colonial America, this is the third book in L'Amour's Sackett series. When an Indian brings news to Yance Sackett that his sister-in-law and a woman reputed to be a witch have been kidnapped by the bloodthirsty Pequot Indians, Yance and his brother Kin set out to find them. Searching the dangerous Warrior's Path, an old war trail that led from the vicinity of Chattanooga to Boston, they discover that ruthless white slavers, exploiting tensions between the settlers and the Indians, are behind the kidnapping. With the help of the Ashanti warrior, Yance and Kin rescue the women and then set out for Jamaica to put an end to the slave ring.

Library Journal

This is the third book in L'Amour's monumental "Sackett" series, set in 1620 in Colonial America. A wounded Indian brings news that Yance Sackett's sister-in-law and a young woman reputed to be a witch have been kidnapped by the bloodthirsty Pequot Indians. When Yance and his brother Kin set out to search the treacherous Warrior's Path, an old war trail that led from the vicinity of Chattanooga to Boston, they soon discover that ruthless white slavers are behind the kidnapping, using and exploiting the tensions between the settlers and the Indians. With the help of the Ashanti warrior, Yance and Kin rescue the women and then set out for Jamaica to put an end to the slave ring, fighting slavers as well as pirates along the way. This story, like all of L'Amour's work, is great fun, and John Curless's voice is wonderful as he distinguishes all of the frontier characters. An action-packed adventure; highly recommended for all libraries.--Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\
