Synopsis

In this thrilling epic of the American West, bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone capture the human side of the frontier experience in all its glory, grit, and grandeur—through the eyes of one remarkable teenage boy...

Leaving their Pennsylvania home to forge a new life in the untamed Oregon Territory of 1845, the Colter family is ambushed by a kill crazy gang of cutthroats on the Oregon Trail. Fifteen-year-old Tim Colter manages to escape and hide—only to return and find his parents butchered, his sisters Nancy and Margaret missing, and one last killer waiting for his return.

Forced to fight for his life, the young Colter embarks on a perilous journey across a lawless frontier, hoping to save his sisters and salvage the dream they lived for. But first, Tim has to figure out how to survive. Luckily, he finds a new friend in Jed Reno, a grizzled one-eyed trapper who's lived in the Rockies since the 1820s—and who was attacked by the same gang that ambushed Tim's family. Together, the mountain man and the greenhorn set out after the marauders, blazing a trail of vengeance that leads them to one of the deadliest men in the territory. With danger at every turn, and death just a heartbeat away, Colter has no choice but to grow up fast—one bullet at a time...

After finishing 'Colter's Journey', one thing will haunt this book, for me and that's Terry C. Johnston's legendary character, 'Titus Bass'. Although it's more violent than the Titus books, if you have read his books the comparison is their, but like with music only Great White has ever taken a cove......more

Colter's Journey by William Johnstone was the first book I have read from him. I really wanted to read this book because when I read the back of it, it sounded like it was a really good story. I really loved this book because there was so much detail about the places Tim Colter had been. I also love......more

Goodreads review by Steven on September 26, 2017

Was there a coffee pot or not, John Wayne? What to say about this one? It's kind of the print equivalent of a B movie western. It's entertaining, but there's nothing new in it. You've seen it all before (especially if you've read Terry C. Johnston's Carry the Wind), and you can guess what'll happen b......more
