The Warrior's Path: The Sacketts: A Novel

Kin is Barnabas Sacekett's oldest son and has big moccassin's to fill but seems up to the task using the wisdom and lifelong training his father and mother made sure he received. Even new experiences on a ship and in Jamaica trying to stop slave trading and rescue smart and brave women is done with finesse. Hard to put down...

I have read this book before, and not long ago. But even though I remembered a lot of the plot, I'd forgotten the ending. It's full of adventure and intrigue, but melodious in its voice and a great read.

I have read this book 3 times now! I recommend it too anybody who likes to read!Good entertainment at it's best!

And to the sons the duty falls. Damsels in distress and rescued or are they. A contact in Jamaica with a little excitement. A good tale and read.

We have all his books. Enjoy each one. You're there with your mind, see the forest, the trails followed. We go back and enjoy again.

I had a hard time getting through this book, despite the interesting topics - the promise of a witch, Native Americans, pirates, and some gorgeous descriptions of 17th-century American forests.Kin Ring Sackett takes over as narrator from his father Barnabas and the two are nearly identical in nature, so much so that I forgot I was seeing the world through another character's senses. I wish L'Amour had taken a little more time to develop unique characters; it would help the plot feel less like a pot-boiler, which it is (the ending is predictable for anyone well read in historical fiction).It doesn't help that certain topics are hinted at but never fully explored - Diana's witchcraft is gossiped about but this is just a device moving the plot forward, an explanation for why she's shunned by her community. Those plot-threads fall by the wayside with the accusations of witchcraft left unexplored. There weren't many Native Americans either. Forget the TV mini-series created back in the 70s; I recast the roles for my imagination. I have certain Native American public figures that I frequently use in my imaginings - Rick Mora, Wes Studi, the Spears brothers, Zahn McClarnon - because, well, yum (I like beautiful men of all nationalities). The Inyuns (a Creole word, don't get all racist on me) are spotted moving through the woods, but always at a distance so there's few interactions with them and I didn't get to plug in hotties very often (however, I did cast Brad Pitt as Barnabas Sackett while reading the first two books and, because of the similarities between Barnabas and Kin, continued to use young-Brad for Kin. I wouldn't be surprised to see me use Mr. Pitt for my imaginings of other characters in future books either).This book hits novella-length instead of novel so the reading went quickly. In some ways, it feels like this story may have been an attempt to fill in the gaps between the characters of Barnabas and Jubal, the main character in the next book in the series (which is actually a novel and not a novella - I have higher hopes for the next book).

Louis L’Amour is famous as a western writer. Strictly speaking, this not a western in the traditional sense. It is much closer to the historical novels of James Fenmore Cooper than to a shoot em up western. There are no cowboys, no rustlers, no sheriffs or large herds of cattle. None the less, this is a great story. L’Amour paints a picture of the America as it must have been when settlers first arrived here. Besides it’s also full of adventure and a finely tuned romance.

LAmour always keeps the reader turning the page! He has a way of telling about the land or the ocean to make you feel like you were there!

Another excellent read from this fabulous author. Only one left to buy to complete the set.

Usual strength of characters, well written, just think I prefer the land to the sea! A bit like Kin I suppose!

This is quite a long book with a sudden and I thought poor ending. Far from vintage L'Amour I had the feeling it was put together by more than one person.

I have been reading LOUIS LAMOUR books for over 35 years And you don,t see them in any shops now so i purchased a few over the months and I still enjoyed them many years later.

Outstanding I feel like I'm standing with them. I can almost see the hills and trees,feel the cold the wind and smell the meet cooking.
