Massacre at Powder River by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Now than I’m well into multi-dozens of Johnstone Clan read, i again come across the British ex-pat wanting to make it big in US story. This one, though, is a switch in which there are 2! A variation of other Johnstone Clan books. This book is very similar with very similar encounters, characters and outcome. A bit of a disappointment to feel like I’m re-reading a Johnstone Clan book.
The characters, as always are interesting, if not too similar to others in Johnstone Clan books. The inclusion of a historic figure is interesting but more as a plot device than to tell a story. This is basically an older Johnstone Clan book that includes Winston Churchill.
The setting is not as well told as in other books.
Still, this is a well written book and fun to read…and if you aren’t scarfing up all of the Johnstone books like me… so…
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 6 out of 10 points.
