A transition

In a way, the first book of the Last Rebel series is the end of the Ashes series. I enjoyed this book and believe it is a "must read" for anybody who enjoyed the Ashes series. Though William Johnstone has departed this plane of existence and "ghost writers" have been writing the various series since his passing the basic "pablum for the masses" does not require the highest caliber of writers to create stories of this type. I am one of the Ashes series fans who despaired of the route the author trod as the series matured. How I longed for a reappearance of the Prophet and despaired of the continual reemergence of the same old bad guys. But, these stories were intentional fluff written to entertain without requiring much thought. Sometimes we need some basic pablumy-like fluff to settle back with on a chill drizzly afternoon. For that, the Ashes and its follow-on, the Last Rebel series, is good enough for me.

Long wait for next book in series

just received an e-mail from WWJ (or the ghostwriter) >>>The next book will be out in 2006. Sorry for the wait. <br />>>>WWJ <br /> <br />I just finished reading The Last Rebel: Survivor. I did like it, but it is not the same as previous books. It's a shame we have to wait until 2006 for the next book. I guess it takes awhile when you are dead. WWJ died 2/8/04

My 1st review at Amazon....

I read a great deal. From mystery to history to Science fiction to westerns to fantasy to just about anything... I have a fiction addiction.. That said..a Johnstone book is always a fun way to pass the time.. This is the first of a new series that springs out of the end of Johnstone's Ashes series... It's after a massive plague has killed most of humanity and Mountain Man comes out of the moutains to save humanity.. It's dark and broody, action filled, full of Mr. Johnstone's preaching about hope(one of the reasons to read a Johnstone book,IMO), freedom and responsiblity... If you like his other books ..you'll like this..don't look for major literature..it's just good old fashioned rip roaring mind candy...and that's what I want when I pick up one of his "end of the world books".. His weterns, however...are far more to my taste when I want something deeper and better than simple mind candy.. All in all a fun read of a couple of hours...not a bad way to spend a cold rainy day.
