Book: ‘Trek of the Mountain Man’ by William W. Johnstone – May 23rd, 2018

Trek of the Mountain Man by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
* Just to note: Due to illness and a hafty workload, I’ve fallen behind my goal of 100 books in 2018. So, I’m reading through a series of Mountain Man books to catch up.*
The story here is a rather trivial one for the Johnstone library. Odd, actually, considering the books just previous. Smoke Jensen’s wife is kidnapped and, in what other books might have taken a chapter or two, an entire book is needed to get her back. It’s not complicated. Nothing surprising. The Kidnap Sally story has been used before. In fact, I was sure I had read this before. Maybe there was more regurgitated than chapters of former books. I haven’t had time to cross this book with the 24 previous or the gobs of other books that Johnstone had put out by this time.
The writing is fine. The characters always good. The settings lacking.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 3 out of 10 points.

Warpath of the Mountain Man by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This story, as with one two books back sure seems familiar, but, again, I don’t have time to research through my Mountain Man and other Johnstone books to figure out where i read it before. I know I have. I knew what was going to happen to who and the ending. This harkens back to the multitude of flashbacks and just what was going on in the Johnstone Clan camp at the time.
Two things are mostly missing from this book: Treeing a town and flashbacks. Something that the series has beaten to death.
The story is not a complicated one and there are few surprises. The characters are less than typical Johnstone characters. The settings being less described is now the norm in this part of the series.
Based on this seeming to be a repeated story and other parts lesser than average…
Bottom line: i don’t recommend this book. 4 out of ten points.
