Massacre of Eagles

Eagles #16

by William W. Johnstone, J.A. Johnstone

The Greatest Western Writer Of The 21st CenturyFame And The Fighting ManA long way from Montana Territory, Falcon MacCallister is back east, visiting his family, with Buffalo Bill Cody by his side. When the government asks both men to take a break from being famous to get back to fighting, Falcon and Buffalo Bill head west-into a hornet's nest of trouble. A renegade Indian has followed his vision of bloodshed on a once peaceable territory. A land baron uses the slaughter as an excuse to clear out a valley. And the U.S. Army, trying to keep the peace, is backstabbed by a traitor. Now, Falcon and Cody are headed into this beautiful, vast and deadly land. A place where history, spirits, greed, and guns have come together-and hot lead is roaring like a prairie fire. . .

Reviews

[David Carraturo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoy reading these stories in the series. James Bond of the wild west that appears to be invisible to all evil against him. Yes, the stories are very predictable, but I like the character development, and the wild west history.

Buffalo Bill Cody and Falcon MacCallister get asked gy General Miles to go Montana and investigate this new Indian religion, Wagi Wanagi, Spirit Talking, and find out if Sitting Bull is in on his. neither Cody or Falcon believed it, having heard an Indian shaman, Mean To His Horses, is behind it. And not an organized Indian revolt, but malcontents and young braves that have never known fighting. Even blood enemies are together: Cheyenne, Lakota, Crow, Shoshone.

There's also a rich man, Bellefontaine, who wants the homesteaders and miners driven out of the valley near the Crow reservation. He mainly wants the coal reserves found there, but also the bit of gold starting to turn up. And he's not above pinning it on the Crows, long friends to the U. S. Army.

Not a bad novel, but one subplot that was there, it seemed, to pad the novel out.

I have read this book a few years back. Falcon could always fit in no matter where he’s at, in the west or in the city of the east.

Great story, don't let my read time fool you. I had other books and like in general going on and was distracted. Louis L'Amour is my all time favorite, but William W. Johnstone is second
