Story4.5 out of 5 stars 442
He came west to the Rockies as a young runaway and grew into a legend among the already legendary frontier mountain men. They called him Preacher - a name that would become a monument to all who sought adventure in the savage wilderness of America's untamed west. The only man with the skills to lead a wagon train on the last leg of the rugged Oregon trail, Preacher knows they're headed into trouble. It's hard enough for a hundred greenhorns to survive the wilds of the northwest; being pursued by thieving renegade outlaws and Indians with a thirst for gold makes it damn near impossible.

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.

Another wonderful story by Rottman.
Another wonderful story by Rottman. I did however miss Matha, for although she does appear in this novel she plays only a minor roll and little of her feisty nature is seem. Again the character descriptions are wonderful, but I did not get the same sense of the settings or the conditions as I did in the previous book. The dialogue did not feel as strong and there was a lot of reflecting on what happened in the first book. As in the first book the narration by James Simenc was compelling, amusing and heartfelt. Definitely a book for those of the Western genre to read or listen to.
