Summary: Good, but not that good...
Review: Louis L'Amour should have finished this book instead of just halfheartedly ending it like he did and leaving it wide open with one glossed-over confrontation and one unresolved conflict...it almost seems like someone else wrapped up the ending for L'Amour and it's really sad.

Yeah, it was a good book, but it really suffers for that ending. I won't give any details away, but I really hated the fact that I read the whole thing only to end up with that open ending. It's similar to spending two or more hours watching a "To Be Continued..." movie and I feel it is a disservice to L'Amour's fans that he did this to us without at least a warning, and I hate it. Maybe Louis L'Amour meant to write a sequel, but he passed away about 2 years after publishing "Last of the Breed". What a shame.

Well, enjoy the book, but don't expect any resolution(s); at least not in the way a true "American Hero tale" should end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great idea, great book
Review: While somewhat out of dat enow, the idea of the gulag and the native American is great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A man born 100 years too late
Review: Who is Joe Mack? Major Joseph Makatozi, is an Air Force
test pilot whose experimental plane is forced down in the
Soviet Union. He's taken prisoner by Colonel Zamatev, and
spends six months in a Soviet prison camp. He escapes by
doing a pole vault over the fence. He's free. Or is he?
Immediately, Zamatev sends his Yakut tracker, Alehkin, after
Joe Mack. He calls upon his skills as a Sioux Indian to survive the coming Arctic winter and make it to the Bering
Sea, and ultimately, home. Does he make it? That's for me to know, and you to find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an american indian in russia
Review: an american test pilot flying new planes which are loaded with highly technical equipment, flies over russia and is forced to
land on Russian soil. Major Joe Mack escapes a Russian prison camp and is chased by a Russian expert tracker. Joe must call upon his native American skills and trust to some luck. A great story one you will want to read again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fantastic "Curve Ball" from Louis L'amour
Review: I won't get into a plot synopsis (you can read that in the book's info), but suffice to say that I bought this book when it first came out in paperback in the mid-80's (back then I was a teenager and could not afford hardbacks) and it instantly became one of my favorite books from my all-time favorite author. A riveting tale with a SUPERB ending. FIVE STARS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hero and a warrior
Review: The story of an Air Force Major who is a native American. He is captured by the Russian military inteligence because he knows what they "need" to know about American experimental aircraft. Reverting to his native American upbringing and instincts Joe Makatozi must escape, he must survive, he must elude his barbaric captors, but they have other ideas...

Full of Action, "Last of the Breed" puts you on alert on page one, and quickly draws you into the main character, Joe Maktozi. An easy read about a hero's hero that you won't want to put down.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I've read in a long time.
Review: Although the setting is far from where you would expect a L'Amour book to be.... THE LAST OF THE BREED is just what you would expect from such a fine author. The story is riveting and he combines every aspect of what a great book should have in this fantastic story of a man born out of time.

Rating: 5 stars
