Average customer review:Product Description
Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers.In The Warrior’s Path, Louis L’Amour tells the story of Yance and Kin Sackett, two brothers who are the last hope of a young woman who faces a fate worse than death.
When Yance Sackett’s sister-in-law is kidnapped, he and Kin race north from Carolina to find her. They arrive at a superstitious town rife with rumors—and learn that someone very powerful was behind Diana’s disappearance. To bring the culprit to justice, one brother must sail to the exotic West Indies.
There, among pirates, cutthroats, and ruthless “businessmen,” he will apply the skills he learned as a frontiersman to an unfamiliar world—a world where one false move means instant death.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is the third book in L'Amour's monumental "Sackett" series, set in 1620 in Colonial America. A wounded Indian brings news that Yance Sackett's sister-in-law and a young woman reputed to be a witch have been kidnapped by the bloodthirsty Pequot Indians. When Yance and his brother Kin set out to search the treacherous Warrior's Path, an old war trail that led from the vicinity of Chattanooga to Boston, they soon discover that ruthless white slavers are behind the kidnapping, using and exploiting the tensions between the settlers and the Indians. With the help of the Ashanti warrior, Yance and Kin rescue the women and then set out for Jamaica to put an end to the slave ring, fighting slavers as well as pirates along the way. This story, like all of L'Amour's work, is great fun, and John Curless's voice is wonderful as he distinguishes all of the frontier characters. An action-packed adventure; highly recommended for all libraries.DBarbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX

Another great Sackett novel.
As a child of the true American West, I grew up with Louis L'Amour. I have always loved his westerns and especially the Sackett books. All of them are great. Although I grew up a cowboy in the original sense of the word, my favorite Sackett novels are the first four. Maybe because it is a part of the world I never knew, who knows. No one who has any kind of adventurous spirit could dislike this book. It has everything, the wild Appalachian Mountains to the open seas and tropical ports full of pirates and swordsmen. Barnabas may be my favorite Sackett and Kin Ring is definitely a fitting son. This book is a must read even if you could never get into Louis' western novels. There is something for everyone here.
Another Great Sackett Adventure!
First of all..if you have kids, encourge them to read the Sackett novels. They are full of history, mystery, and adventure. Along the way they just might pick up some long forgoten values missing in today's youth.This is the 3rd book in the Sackett Series, Kin Ring, Son of Barnabas Sackett, sets out on a journey to put a cramp in the slave trade. A young white girl is kidnapped, and Kin Ring gets her back, only to find her kidnapped again by slave traders while he searches for another who has been long missing. On land or on the sea, Louis L'Amour knows how to tell a story. If you have never read LL, you are in for a surprise! I was! Lay aside all your misconceptions and dive into a LL novel. You won't be sorry!
Lamour is Mr. Entertainment
What can I say. Mr. Lamour was a genius who knew how to add fascinating little snippets of western lore to keep his readers on the hook.
This book is as good as any he ever wrote. Highly recommended. I just
ordered 5 more of his books from Amazon. Eventually I will have read
them all, I hope. Long live Amazon!!!!
