Flintlock #6

by William W. Johnstone, J.A. Johnstone

Life is hard on the American frontier. Justice is even harder. But when it comes to revenge, no man can escape the righteous wrath of a wronged bounter hunter. Especially when his name is Flintlock . . .

Flintlock takes no pleasure in killing. But when his pal O'Hara gets bullwhipped by a trio of lowdown prairie rats. Flintlock finds sanctuary for his wounded friend at the cabin of a kindly miner and his lovely daughter. Flintlock heads out to hunt down some food. But there's more than just deer lurking in these woods. A bloodthirsty band of eight savage raiders--led by a half-mad gunslinger called The Old Man of the Mountain--wage a full-scale attack on the miner's cabin. By the time Flintlock returns, O'Hara's been beaten, the miner's been shot, and the daughter's been kidnapped...

It gets worse. The Old Man plans to make the young beauty his bride. But Flintlock has a plan, too. It's not just a rescue mission. It's a vengeance ride--leading to one bloody showdown that'll go down in history . . .

Pitchfork Press is an awesome to the Flintlock series. I recommend it and am looking forward to more in the series. I give it four stars.

Action keeps peppering on. Old Man Hammer, trained by Chinese, kidnaps Louise, to marry, and Sam feels he owes Smith, her pa, to rescue. When the ghost Barnabus stops advising his grandson, women Pinkerton detectives enter scene, one perhaps Sam's ma.

Last in the series. Overall the series gets a 3 as most of the stories were decent with a touch of weird. This one though had too many 'wrap ups' that I didn't really enjoy. I'd rather have not read it and wondered.

Nice action

Some surprises. I really enjoyed this book. It has some interesting twists and turns. The villain in this story is pure evil.

Hard to get into

[Nolan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting story. Looks like this is the last book of this series. I was totally blown away with what happens to O'Hara. Flintlock finally meets his mom and finds out what his name is.

[Greg Fletcher · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nothing spectacular. Just a change of scenery. I like to throw in a Western every now and then.

At the end of a hard day, reward yourself with a Johnstone book. Whether set in the Old West, like this one or the early mountain settlements; you'll always lose yourself in these books. The good guys win in the end, but the story along the way takes you into the character's life and times. If you love westerns, you need to be reading the Johnstone books!
