Great read

This is another great Story by the Johnstone’s, loved the characters and the action. I wasn’t sure I was going to like the narration as P.J. Ochlan didn’t sound like a “Western” narrator but I was WRONG! Mr. Ochlan brought every character to life and made it seem like there were more than one narrator. Kudos to Mr. Ochlan and the Johnstone’s for bringing another story to life.

Characters

Liked all of the characters and all of the settings in the Wild West of America

The eagles legacy

Very good book well done will look for more like it love William e johnstone

Great story line

This has been a wonderful experience. The story brings you right in from the start and keeps you wrapped in it until the very end.

international intrigue

Duff is a hero and becomes a target. along the way we learn of his heritage and background. outstanding story with or without hagis.

The reader.

The voice characterization was well done: however, the spoken narrative was not. it sounded like a third grader learning to read.

MacCallister A character I want to read more

Great characters and really fine story. Mr. Ochlan did really well with the Scottish and New York characters but seemed strained for the westerners. Lord knows I couldn't pull off the variety of accents so I still commend him highly.

Poor elocution by narrator

Story is good, but, the reader was awful. He did good on Scottish accent, and read like a first grade teacher .

Good story, But very poor Geography

The story is OK but my family has lived in Wyoming since the 1870’s. There are glaring problems with the geography, and history. Geography; Tie Sidings is 18 miles South of Laramie, which is 50 miles West of Cheyenne. Tracy, Wyoming is an old watering station for steam locomotive a few miles East of Pinebluffs, Wyoming which is 41 miles East of Cheyenne. Chugwater is 15 miles North of Cheyenne. There is no way that this even a route someone on horse back would have ridden it is nearly 200 miles. As for Chugwater the town site was granted by The Swan Cattle Company in 1887 it was established as a “dry”town . This is the big problem with Johnstone westerns, the geographical placement is terrible. I can forgive the formulaic nature of all of these stories.

performance

the performance was wthe worst ever. good book and story that got me through it in 20 minute session befor i would want to bash my head on a wall.
