Anyone who loves reading Westerns should read any of the Johnstone books. They have developed a great cast of characters that range the US in their travels and trials.
The main character in this book is Preacher, an honest hardworking man who makes his living trapping but also makes his piece of the world a little better and a lot safer for the good people who live there.
This book finds Preacher as part of a group takings pelts to market. Of course, his trip cannot be uneventful. Along the way, he encounters a group of outlaws who make their living stealing pelts from other trappers. They have also kidnapped a woman who Preacher quickly saves only to find out she was stolen many years ago and has been raised by Indians. Preacher's group decides to return her to her original home and family with all of the battles and adventures that always accompany the good guys in a Western. If you have not read any of the Johnstone books, you are seriously missing out on some of the best books in publication.

Johnstone books continue to educate and entertain. Trappers, thieves, Native Americans, all play tug-o-war with, what else?, a beautiful young lady.. once again the good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and the action is non-stop.

For
the greatest trapper in the country, there's no place like the Rocky Mountains. Preacher and his son Hawk are riding the High Lonesome when the clear mountain air is split by a girl's savage screams. A gang of ruthless trappers has kidnapped a Crow woman, but before they escape with her, Preacher and Hawk burst out of the tree line, guns spitting fire. They drive the trappers off, only to find that she's not Crow, but white. Caroline has been raised by the Crow since childhood, the only people she's ever known. To get her home, Preacher and Hawk will have to blast their way off this mountain, gunning down kill-crazy trappers and merciless Blackfeet warriors. Because it's never really quiet on the western front.

My Thoughts:
5 stars
Even time I read one of this books I keep felling in love with the characters allover again and again , this series has never let me down and neither has the author's , with that said I would love to thank Netgalley, as will as the publisher and author's for letting me once again read and review one of their stories in change for my honest opinion .

Good story for fans of this genre. Interesting plot, quick read and kept me turning the pages. Always keep an eye out for these authors!

In William and J.A. Johnstones' Preacher's Rage (Pinnacle 2018), latest in the twenty-five volume The First Mountain Man series, Preacher is part of a five-man team taking a load of pelts to the trading post. It includes an Indian elder, Preacher's son Hawk-that-Sours, and two young trappers just learning the business. Hawk, part-Indian, part-Preacher, was raised by Absaroka Indians but now lives and works with his father, Preacher. One night, the group are attacked by eight men who make a living killing trappers and stealing their pelts but with Preacher involved, it doesn't work out that way. In fact, they all die but not before they tell Preacher that they are part of a much-larger group (about twenty more) who think nothing of taking the work and life of hard-working trappers for their own profit. And, they reveal, they have a young female Indian captive. Preacher being who he is--a moral man who distributes justice in the Wild West way--knows he must stop them before more trappers die.

This is an excellent addition to the iconic Preacher series, the face of the Mountain Man's life in the Old West.
