    About this audiobook

    In Lonely on the Mountain, Louis L'Amour's solitary wandering Sackett brothers make a stand together-to save one of their own.

    The rare letters Tell Sackett received always had trouble inside. And the terse note from his cousin Logan is no exception. Logan faces starvation or a hanging if Tell can't drive a herd of cattle from Kansas to British Columbia before winter. To get to Logan, he must brave prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and Sioux war parties. But worse trouble waits, for a mysterious enemy shadows Sackett's every move across the Dakotas and the Canadian Rockies. Tell Sackett has never abandoned another Sackett in need. He will bring aid to Logan-or die trying.

      This final novel (chronologically) in the Sackett series kept me turning pages until the end. It reunites Tell, Tye, and Orrin Sackett who are coming to the rescue of Logan Sackett. The cattle drive part was interesting as was the intrigue that threatened the success of the drive. I like the description of the land and the details about the drive. My only regret is that there are no more books in the series to read. I thought there was more story to tell. If you like Westerns, then you will like this book. If you are a fan of the Sackett series, then this is a must read.
    • 3/5
      This story is another Tell Sackett story, along with his younger brothers Orrin and Tyrel, and their distant cousin Logan Sackett. Cap Roundtree is with them, along with some new faces.

      Somehow, Logan got himself into trouble, and Tell and Co. need to bring in a whole herd of cattle to settle some sort of debt. However, as they're moving northwest across the U.S.-Canadian border and into British Columbia, they are constantly hammered with all sorts of trouble actively working to prevent them from delivering the herd.

      Unfortunately, Louis forgets about some characters. Gilchrist and the Ox come grinding against Orrin and Brandy. It ends up in a fist fight between Orrin and the Ox, they leave the team, and that's it. Nothing more of either of them. Brandy too, just sort of disappears after that moment. Another character, Flemming, disappears when they reach a sign scratched onto a rock about Logan. Flemming also is never heard of again. Of course, it wouldn't be a Louis L'Amour story without the Good Guys getting the gold at the end, and without the story coming to a very abrupt halt.

      However, this felt more like a "cowboy story" than many of the others he wrote. Cowboys pushing cattle across the country, battling Mother Nature, battling each other, and using their wits to survive. Louis has his own idioms, which makes for some delightful reading, which helps against the slow chapters.

      This is the final book in the Sackett series. After reading the entire series, I'm ready for something new. Let's see how Talon & Chantry hold up in comparison.
