Jacknife

A fun read. There is plenty of action and fun characters in this book. The dialogue and the pacing feel like that of a Hollywood film. It is a patriotic book and timely. I'm a huge fan of Johnstone's Mountain Man seris, and have tried several of his more recent books the last year or so. Vengeance is Mine was good, The Alamo was better. But out of the three I believe this is the best I've read. The action is there and is a bit more believable. My only complaint would be that the title character, Jacknife, appears only a few times in the first 80 pgs. Johnstone makes up for this in the second half of the book however. As mentioned by other reviewers it would probably help if the reader leaned more towards the conservative side of politics due to Johnstones colorful diologue that often lampoons the `liberal media', `p.c. police' etc. But I believe any open-minded reader and fan of the action genre would enjoy Jacknife.

Excellant story line that leaves the reader thinking about activities in our daily lives. The story line could happen any where in the US.
