Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers.In The Warrior's Path, Louis L'Amour tells the story of Yance and Kin Sackett, two brothers who are the last hope of a young woman who faces a fate worse than death. When Yance Sackett's sister-in-law is kidnapped, he and Kin race north from Carolina to find her. They arrive at a superstitious town rife with rumors--and learn that someone very powerful was behind Diana's disappearance. To bring the culprit to justice, one brother must sail to the exotic West Indies. There, among pirates, cutthroats, and ruthless "businessmen," he will apply the skills he learned as a frontiersman to an unfamiliar world--a world where one false move means instant death.From the Paperback edition.

The Warrior's Path, which is the third book in Louis L'Amour's Sacketts series, is quite a good read. Louis L'Amour is best known for his Westerns. This book, however, is better classified as historical fiction as it takes place early in American history before the Western expansion really got started.
In this story is Kin Sackett takes on white slavers who are kidnapping young girls and women from coastal settlements and selling them in the West Indies. There is plenty of tension and action in this book. The action ranges from the Carolina hill country to coastal settlements and from there on to Jamaica and back again. As usual in a L'Amour tale, there are formidable and resourceful villains that are not to be taken lightly. But the Sacketts walk tall, as is their wont.
