Product Description
Falcon MacCallister never thought he'd wear army brass. But Colorado is about to join the Union - and the would-be state has just made him Lt. Colonel in its Home Guard. Then, before his military career can take off, Falcon loses one of his men and two deadly new Gatling guns to a murderous ambush. Falcon is going to get those Gatling guns back - before they kill the wrong people. Tracing the missing guns to Eastern Montana, Falcon teams up with a scout named Isiah Dorman. Falcon and Dorman are spearheading a battle against the Sioux - in the shadow of the disastrous Little Big Horn slaughter. For the two men, survival along the Little Bighorn is going to mean breaking rules, standing strong, standing together - and holding off a deadly onslaught with only a few guns against many.

Western Fiction or Historical Western? August 7, 2009
Norm Beavers (Tyler, TX USA)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was disappointed that the editor or publisher responsible for printing this Johnstone book would resort to trying to write history instead of fiction in a traditional W. W. Johnstone novel.

The actual plot probably consumed fifty or a hundred pages; the rest concerned history of the Battle of the Little Big Horn and Custer's demise. Whether the history is factual or not is of no interest to me. It was completely irrelevant to the plot. If I wanted to read history, there are many such books I could read.

The Publisher's note claims this novel was "inspired by Mr. Johnstone's superb storytelling." I suspect it was inspired by a desire for recognition as a writer of historical Westerns instead of fictional Westerns.

I've read and enjoyed everything W. W. Johnstone ever wrote, including his Mason books, and never did he stoop to such blatant use of history to sustain a weak plot. Even his romance novel, "What The Heart Knows," was more fun to read than this novel, and I developed a distaste for the romance books by the time I was twelve.

I'm only glad that Uncle William W. Johnstone will never know the direction his novels are taking. Hopefully, it will stop with this one.
