Synopsis

Preacher—frontiersman, gunslinger, patriot. An Old West adventure that will go down in history from the greatest western writer of the 21st century.

On the rolling Missouri River, a riverboat of fur traders, a U.S. Senator, and Prussian royalty are all heading to the Yellowstone from St. Louis. Preacher’s onboard because the nation’s fate depends on the passengers landing safe and sound. But it won’t be easy. Two beautiful women make a play for Preacher. So does a killer. So does a band of river pirates.
No sooner does Preacher beat back these threats than the riverboat lands in the middle of a blood-soaked Indian ambush—with a Prussian nobleman and his family taken hostage. Preacher has no choice but to go off in pursuit, even with a traitor trying to slaughter him.

Someone wants to start a war and change the course of American history. Only a lone mountain man and the ambush of bullets he wields with deadly, unerring force stands in the way …

I love the W. W. Johnstone books. His nephew, J.A. Johnstone does a great job of continuing the existing series. This is another story about Preacher, the First Mountain Man. In this book, Preacher even fights a duel with a Count from Prussia.......more

Goodreads review by Kurt

Another solid outing by Johnstone and his First Mountain man, Preacher. This time Preacher is convinced to help a river boat filled with city folk travelling from the East to the West, where Preacher is heading after selling his furs. Bit of different setting but the same Preacher style and action.......more

riveting adventure Johnstone’s characters become real in just a few pages. You follow them through each event and can see them grow. Even the bad guys develop into heinous villains. The storyline becomes alive due to the characters.......more
