Brotherhood of the Gun by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This entry in the johnstone Clan stable of westerns is above most. The story of hunting down slavers sends the two main characters across the western territory with some of the better depictions of areas they travel through. Also more historical context is presented as part of the story.
Excellent work is done in depicting the “Blood Brothers” and, a Johnstone favorite, a mountain man who is the leader of the journey. Other prominent characters are also well done. it’s the bad guys that are flimsy this time around. All of the error of their ways is detailed. but who they are is lacking.
I really liked the extra effort to place the story into the historical timeline of U.S. history.
The plotting is good and the story pace is quick despite the amount of time and desolate travel that is done.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
