Description
Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In The Warrior’s Path, Louis L’Amour tells the story of Yance and Kin Sackett, two brothers who are the last hope of a young woman who faces a fate worse than death. When Yance Sackett’s sister-in-law is kidnapped, he and Kin race north from Carolina to find her. They arrive at a superstitious town rife with rumors—and learn that someone very powerful was behind Diana’s disappearance. To bring the culprit to justice, one brother must sail to the exotic West Indies. There, among pirates, cutthroats, and ruthless “businessmen,” he will apply the skills he learned as a frontiersman to an unfamiliar world—a world where one false move means instant death.

Fans of Louis L'Amour willing to break into another genre shouldn't overlook Lee Child. Both write compelling tales of justice featuring a loner hero, descriptive landscapes, and gunplay, but only as a last resort. -- Shauna Griffin
Fans of William W. Johnstone's westerns will enjoy work by Louis L'Amour for its strong sense of place, flinty male protagonists, and action-packed plots. Like Johnstone, L'Amour stresses the cultural conflicts inherent in the Old West. -- Mike Nilsson
Zane Gray and Louis L'Amour are golden-age western writers, producing stories of action, adventure, and the often hardscrabble life of the Old West. Filled with beautiful descriptions and concise, clear prose, their books speak of romance and the Code of the West. -- Melissa Gray
Like Louis L'Amour, Douglas C. Jones' westerns combine historical accuracy with strong storytelling, though Jones rarely ventures further west than Arkansas. His stories of settling the West are filled with action, adventure, a touch of humor, and marked respect for Indigenous Americans and their traditions. -- Shauna Griffin
Ralph Compton and Louis L'Amour have kept the western genre alive. Their old-fashioned storytelling features gunslingers, cattle drives, outlaws, and more. Both write with respect for human decency and a love of the land. -- Mike Nilsson
Award-winning western writer Elmer Kelton may not provide Louis L'Amour's rough and tumble action in every chapter, but both authors believe that heroes need to settle down and keep the law, not ride on when their job is done. The landscape of the changing West features prominently in their work. -- Shauna Griffin
Cowboys, ranchers, and lawmen collide with horse thieves, Native Americans, and outlaws in these authors' fast-paced, classic westerns. While John D. Nesbitt's work also centers on solving mysteries, he and Louis L'Amour both bring an authentic frontier feel to their work through careful detail, convincing dialogue, and believable plotting. -- Mike Nilsson
Though he wrote mostly thrillers and military adventures, as well as a few Westerns, Alistair MacLean provides the non-stop action that Louis L'Amour's fans crave. Featuring strong heroes (mostly men) who explore new frontiers, his stories also include landscapes described in detail. -- Shauna Griffin
Like Louis L'Amour, prolific western writer Max Brand focuses on action rather than character. While his stories lack the extensive details of western life and landscape familiar to L'Amour's readers, fans who appreciate western adventures might try his fast-paced tales. -- Shauna Griffin
Though his novels lack much physical action, Tony Hillerman's reservation-set contemporary mysteries offer all the details of landscape and tradition that Louis L'Amour fans enjoy. In addition, his respect for the West and for Native Americans and the timeless feel of his stories may appeal to L'Amour fans. -- Shauna Griffin
These authors' works have the genre "westerns"; and the subjects "the west (united states) history," "frontier and pioneer life," and "outlaws."

This is the third book in L'Amour's monumental "Sackett" series, set in 1620 in Colonial America. A wounded Indian brings news that Yance Sackett's sister-in-law and a young woman reputed to be a witch have been kidnapped by the bloodthirsty Pequot Indians. When Yance and his brother Kin set out to search the treacherous Warrior's Path, an old war trail that led from the vicinity of Chattanooga to Boston, they soon discover that ruthless white slavers are behind the kidnapping, using and exploiting the tensions between the settlers and the Indians. With the help of the Ashanti warrior, Yance and Kin rescue the women and then set out for Jamaica to put an end to the slave ring, fighting slavers as well as pirates along the way. This story, like all of L'Amour's work, is great fun, and John Curless's voice is wonderful as he distinguishes all of the frontier characters. An action-packed adventure; highly recommended for all libraries. Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
