Absaroka Ambush / Courage of the Mountain Man by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I liked this book a lot. The sprawling trip across a new America is full of adventure. Well written and pretty much well thought out.
Most of the characters are well developed and very interesting. Wish there was more to learn of two main female characters. Hope they somehow pop up again.
Two drawbacks is very undeveloped bad guys(s) character. Another bad guy with the typical Johnstone bad guy qualities. Another drawback is dropping a set of characters that travel throughout the book. A few hundred pages of that characters and then are entirely dropped. Though there is a reason for this, it would have been nice to let the reader know a bit more of the final fate of the characters.
Bottom line: I recommend this book.
