Spirit of the Mountain Man by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The story is basic. The writing is superior. This may be the best written of all of the Johnstone books I’ve read. The highlight are the vivid descriptions throughout the book of scenery and story.
The story is a bit complicated in how three men want to rid the world of Smoke Jensen. How they lure him out is obvious. Encounters along the way of the bad guys and sets of good guys and others enriches the story greatly.
The writing of this book and the one previous, ‘Power of the Mountain Man’, shows the night and day difference of using ghost writers. Due to certain underlining simple aspects of the story, I see where Johnstone, himself, set the basic story and the actual writer built way up from there.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 9 out of ten points.
