Loading... The Warrior's Pathby Louis L'Amour
None.  dragonasbreath | May 31, 2011 |  A little less preachy and a little more action in this installment. Mr. L'Amour does better in his later 'western' books*, but this story wasn't bad. I'd like a little more geographical detail... but that's not going to happen, now or later. I am enjoying rereading the beginning few books of this memorable family saga. Next up is the perils of Jubal Sackett, who IIRC actually heads west. *Actually he wrote these first few books, filling in details of the early family, some 10-15 years later. (  ) clif_hiker | Oct 18, 2009 | A very exciting, suspenseful, and action packed story. Kin Sackett finds that young women are being taken and sold into slavery. He is determined to stop the men in his territory that are doing this. His travels take him into the Caribbean to find one of the women and get evidence against the slavers. These actions fuel a feud between him and the slavers which will continue until one of them is dead. (  ) monkeywrench | Feb 22, 2009 | no reviews | add a review Is contained in

The sister-in-law Kin and Yance head out to rescue is Temp's 10-yr-old sister. Both of the kidnapped girls - Carrie and Diana - are rescued and safely kept on the shore.
KIN (not Yance) goes to the Carribean to find another young lady who had been kidnapped a year or two before, seeking to A) rescue her, B) Marry her, and C) Get her testimony to end the white-woman slavery, making their home safe for their women.
As the cover indicates, things did not go quite as he planned. Among other things - he discovered that not only did the girl no longer require rescuing, she was also ineligible for marriage.
But you'll enjoy just how all that came about and shook out. (
