BLOODSHED OF EAGLES by William W. Johnstone is an wonderful western set in 1875 Colorado, Territory.It is told from the perseceptive of Falcon MacCallister.As he is telling the story to an author,Zane Grey in 1927.The story retells the tragic events of the Battle of Little Big Horn and General Custer's demise. The story is about how Falcom connected with General Custer while in pursuit of two gatling guns stolen from the Colorado Home Guard. While this story seems to be based on Western history,it still has an interesting take on the Western fiction side. It is the story of survivial, Indians,murderous ambush,and two men standing strong,standing together and fighting offthe Sioux with only a few guns against many Sioux Indians.It is told threw the eyes of one survivial Falcon MacCallister,as he relives the event from fifty years ago.This book was received for the purpose of review from BookBlogs and details can be found at Pinnacle Books,an imprint of Kensington Books and My Book Addiction and More

3.0 out of 5 stars Western Fiction or Historical Western?, August 6, 2009

By 

Norm Beavers (Tyler, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bloodshed of Eagles (Paperback)

I was disappointed that the editor or publisher responsible for printing this Johnstone book would resort to trying to write history instead of fiction in a traditional W. W. Johnstone novel.

The actual plot probably consumed fifty or a hundred pages; the rest concerned history of the Battle of the Little Big Horn and Custer's demise. Whether the history is factual or not is of no interest to me. It was completely irrelevant to the plot. If I wanted to read history, there are many such books I could read.

The Publisher's note claims this novel was "inspired by Mr. Johnstone's superb storytelling." I suspect it was inspired by a desire for recognition as a writer of historical Westerns instead of fictional Westerns.

I've read and enjoyed everything W. W. Johnstone ever wrote, including his Mason books, and never did he stoop to such blatant use of history to sustain a weak plot. Even his romance novel, "What The Heart Knows," was more fun to read than this novel, and I developed a distaste for the romance books by the time I was twelve.

I'm only glad that Uncle William W. Johnstone will never know the direction his novels are taking. Hopefully, it will stop with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars one problem with it, January 15, 2012

Robert A Wigman (ROARING SPRING, PA, US) - See all my reviews

The one problem with this story is this in previous stories manly the Scream of Eagles Falcons Father Jamie Ian MacCallister was with Custer at the Little Bighorn he went with Reno's Command but in this Book from the time Falcon shows up at Ft. Lincoln and started out with Custer they mentioned all the scouts with Custer Except Jamie Ian MacCallister was nowhere to be found loved the story it was cool fun read for me because I love history but that just struck me wrong that his father who in a previous book was put into the Battle of the Little Bighorn was not even mention or incorporated into the story.
