Dreams of Eagles: Eagles Series #2
Product ID: 608833172
From the greatest western writers of the twenty-first century, the classic second adventure in The Eagles, one of the most iconic and beloved sagas of the American frontier, now available in audio. In peace and war, he was the soul of a nation-and the flesh and blood of the American Frontier . . . It was a virgin land of vast horizons. . . a land of dreams and dust and blood, where men sought glory and hope died hard. But for Jamie Ian MacCallister, who'd grown to manhood among Indians and fought at the Alamo, war and wilderness were home . . . and survival was a way of life. From the battlegrounds of Texas to the Colorado Rockies and the goldfields of California, Jamie MacCallister was one of a handful of daring pioneers blazing trails in the American West. Joining famed frontiersman Kit Carson on the first US Army expedition from Missouri to the wide Pacific, he forged a future in a dawning era of greatness and greed that would stain the pages of history with bloodโand make men like MacCallister into legends. Review: A wonderful Western saga of good versus evil - Followers of William W. Johnstone will recognize many of the beloved characters in this story including Preacher, Jamie Ian McAllister, Audie and Lobo, plus many more. Jamie and his wife, along with friends of several nationalities and skin colors, settle in a beautiful Colorado valley to raise their big family. Of course, bad guys, bears, and Indians all have to be dealt with and peace is hard won. This is the first time I recall this author dealing with the issue of homosexuality as one of the many sub-themes and vignettes. Itโs well done and does not overwhelm the other themes of the book. This is one of Johnstoneโs best books and I hated to see its conclusion. Review: The Same Genre As Zane Gray - I just finished โDreams of Eagles.โ It was difficult to put the Kindle down sometimes after midnight and later in the morning. William W Johnstone did a masterful piece of work with this story of the West as he follows in the footsteps of Zane Gray who, I think set a high bar for the writers of those times of our history. The Johnstones do a masterful Level of writing that equals or exceeds the height, or raises it, for those who have or will write captivating adventure stories along these same lines.

The Same Genre As Zane Gray
I just finished โDreams of Eagles.โ It was difficult to put the Kindle down sometimes after midnight and later in the morning. William W Johnstone did a masterful piece of work with this story of the West as he follows in the footsteps of Zane Gray who, I think set a high bar for the writers of those times of our history.

Action Packed
Great action-packed story about a pioneer family and their legendary patriarch. I enjoyed the historical references of the old West and the expansion of the United States westward. A great read. I've become a huge fan of William W. Johnstone.

The best western novels Iโve ever read โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
I wanted to five stars twice because these novels have two, and very often many multiples, of everything you might hope for in a western. Jamie Ian Maccalister is a man of few words but triple action. When it comes to killing he has super powers. So exciting and so very enjoyable.

Blue and Grey
How people lived in the new west was interesting. Fighting for their rights just ad we do today. This book is a good read and you don't want to put it down. Enjoy the read.

A rousing western well written
As a fan of Louis L'Amour, I found myself reading this every chance I had. Lots of historical context, heroic actions, and vivid descriptions. Like Louis L'amour's westerns, this one ends with the good guys prevailing and the good girls getting their men.
