Ten years ago, he taught this violent lesson to gun-crazed Ezra Pease when he ran the outlaw out of town. But Pease and his trail-scum gang are back - shooting up trouble and crossing the Big Empty to nail Preacher's hide to a tree. So Preacher's riding out to teach Pease one final lesson. But it could be too late because Pease's vicious dealings have fired up an all-out Indian war.

No one remembered when he'd come to the mountains - it seemed that Preacher had always been there. He'd seen a great deal in the unmapped mountains and forests of the grand North American frontier.

Suddenly, Preacher is faced with the strangest, most dangerous army the High Lonesome has ever seen. It's leader is a blood-mad fanatic right out of the ancient history books. All Preacher's got on his side are his brother mountain men.

Long before there was a mountain man called Preacher, a young adventurer set off with a team of fur traders from St. Louis for the time of his life. On a wild frontier, he sought a fortune. Instead, he found blood, betrayal, and the beginning of a legend. Armed only with a knife, surrounded by a fierce Blackfoot war party, the young man was forced to kill a warrior chief in an act of audacious courage. But when a grizzly bear attack left him half-dead, he could no longer protect himself.

Great
This is book seven in the Grizzly Killer Series. This is my first reading of the series, and I unfortunately started with book seven. I wish I had started with book one.
The story takes place in 1831. Zack Connors, known as Grizzly Killer, and his family along with fellow trappers and mountain men gather in Willow Valley awaiting the supply train from Saint Louis. Warenski provides a lot of descriptions and information about the daily life of the mountain men in this historical western. There is some action, but mostly the story is about the daily life on the frontier. There is some retelling of action stories from Connor’s adventures from other books in the series. I found them interesting as this was my first reading of a book in the series; otherwise, if I had been following the series, I would have been unhappy with all the backstories. I am willing to try another book in the series. I understand they all are bestsellers on Amazon. I believe Warenski is an independent publisher.
The book is nine hours and five minutes. Louis B. Jack does a good job narrating the story. Jack is an actor and voice-over artist. This is my first experience with both the author and narrator.
