 "Preacher's Hell" -- 5star review *****

Grab your reading glasses and get ready for another in the "Preacher" series of books from the Johnstone syndicate.  This particular one has Preacher and his two main sidekicks-Nighthawk and Audie getting involved in finding and then protecting a set of twins.  This protection involved a gang of really bad people who have enlisted or coerced a native tribe of Salish to help.  

As the twins add an enlivening twist with the trail-hardened group, several other characters pop up including the twins' mother, Annie Collins and a friendly Salish teen called Little Bear.  Their assistance and actions play into the story as the gang of robbers and murders led by Mack Ozark along with a collaborating nefarious Salish warrior.  Of course Preacher also had the help of his trusted companions of the 4-legged variety that he called "Dog" and "Horse"! Imaginative.

As we move across the wilderness, there is lots of adventure that comes to a climax when there is treasure discovered in a cave.  As might be expected a terrific battle takes place and who wins is up in the air for a while.

A fun and quick read and for those Preacher fans, just another installment of the Preacher-stories.  I recommend this book for any Western reader--it is fun to read and full of adventure and action.
