More About This Book

Overview

Here is the kind of authentically detailed epic novel that has become Louis L'Amour's hallmark. It is the compelling story of U.S. Air Force Major Joe Mack, a man born out of time. When his experimental aircraft is forced down in Russia and he escapes a Soviet prison camp, he must call upon the ancient skills of his Indian forebears to survive the vast Siberian wilderness. Only one route lies open to Mack: the path of his ancestors, overland to the Bering Strait and across the sea to America. But in pursuit is a legendary tracker, the Yakut native Alekhin, who knows every square foot of the icy frontier—and who knows that to trap his quarry he must think like a Sioux.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Readers of L'Amour's Westerns and his recent medieval saga The Walking Drum will not be disappointed by this contemporary epic. Proving that he is above all a great raconteur, the prolific L'Amour sets his latest in Siberia where a downed American test pilot, Joseph ``Joe Mack'' Makatozi, has been taken after his capture by the Russians. Part Sioux, Joe Mack escapes prison only to face the seemingly impossible odds of getting across Siberia to the Bering Strait, where like his ancestors, he can cross into North America. Joe Mack is a classic American hero, thrown back into the wilderness and forced to rely on his wits and his ancestral skills to survive the deadly cold and elude his Soviet pursuers, including his nemesis, a Siberian tracker. L'Amour brings the same colorful realism to this sweeping adventure that has made his Westerns so beloved. 350,000 copy first printing; Literary Guild main selection. ( July)

From The Critics
Once again demonstrating his versatility, the prolific L'Amour has written a contemporary adventure novel set in the ``Wild East'' of Siberia. U.S. Air Force Major Joseph Makatozi``Joe Mack''is shot down by the Russians, who intend to wring secret information from him before executing him. The catch in their plans is that Rambo-like Joe Mack is part Sioux, part Cheyenne, and a nearly Olympic-caliber athlete. Still, it takes all his native skills and endurance to survive and overcome Soviet Colonel Arkady Zamatev and his Yakut henchman Alekhin as they track the American across the Siberian wilderness. L'Amour's latest novel will be requested in most public libraries. Literary Guild main selection. William C. McCully, Park Ridge P.L., Ill.

Meet the Author

Louis L'Amour
Louis L'Amour
Louis L'Amour's 115 title-plus bibliography is astonishing on its own; even more so given the fact that his writing career did not start in earnest until his 40s. Simply being prolific, however, does not a bestselling author make. L'Amour's Western stories, as written by a real-life adventurer, capture the survivalism and code of honor on which the American frontier mythology rests.

Biography

Our foremost storyteller of the authentic West, Louis L'Amour has thrilled a nation by chronicling the adventures of the brave men and women who settled the American frontier. There are more than 260 million copies of his books in print around the world.

    Killer ending

    Best ending I have ever read. Did not need any more details. It made me yell' Yes!' Lamour is the kind of writer who can set up ann ,...and time passes, scenerio, and leave you able to visualize exactly what happened while time was passing. A departure from his usual old west theme, but one of his best works. Loled it.

    Future meets the past

    This is my favorite L'Amour book and have in my permanent library. I liked the character being in the present as an air force pilot; L'Amour does a great job of blending the new into the old. A thrilling story of espionage, escape and how things used to be. Just a touch of romance and enough history to give those of us in the present an idea of what it was like to live during this time period in Russia.

    Highly Recommended-hard to put down

    This book is a little different from the western L'Amour, but just as exciting. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it. There was a lot of suspence and different plots and he tied them all together and the ending was very exciting. This is a must read for the Louis L'Amour fans.

    One of Louis L'Amour's Best!

    Excellent, intriguing read. This story is different than most of L'Amour's books, and I've read most of them. Last of the Breed is on my list to read again at some time in the future, an anticipated pleasure.

    Truly a great book.

    I read this book in one sitting, while stranded at a motel in the middle od nowhere during a blizzard. The highways were closed down. It is definately one of the best books I have ever read. It is the first L'amour book I have ever read, as well.

    Awesome

    I thought this book was going to be about a man trying to survive a bitter artic climate. My feelings after reading this book were that it was what I thought it was going to be but it had more suspense. I feel the same way about the book because I have read more titles from this author and they were sick. This book is about an U.S. Air Force major named Joe Makatozi who had his experimental plane forced down in the Bering Sea and was captured by the Soviets. After being taken to a prisoner camp to be interrogated by colonel named Zamatev the reason for this is because the soviets want to know what the U.S. is planning during the Cold War. That¿s pretty much all I can tell you without revealing any good stuff in the book but this book is full of adventure and suspense. If you like action and suspense I would recommend this book greatly.

    An exciting book

    Last of the Breed is an exciting book to read. Its exciting from beginning to end. The author was very good at drawing the reader in the story. Although the author could have been a little more descriptive in the story. He could also make the character more human by puting some kind of flaws in him. Because of these reasons I have listed it as a four instead of a five. But over all it is an excellent book to read. It puts you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

    TOM CLANCY - STEP ASIDE!

    I read this book many years ago, and it is one of my all-time favorites - have two copies just in case one ever gets lost. I love the story - all of the characters, the intrigue, the mystery, the suspense. I did not want it to end. This is a fast-paced, easy read 'spy' mystery about courage, preserverance, and poetic justice for people who might not even enjoy the genre. The story is so well written and the descriptions (of people and places) so vivid, it is like watching a movie - still as fresh in my mind as when I first read the book so many years ago. Actually, I wish that they would make a movie of this book; I'm so there! I'm going to re-read it right now.

    Interesting but disappointing

    This was my first experience with the great Louis L'Amour and I must say I was quite disappointed. L'Amour's tale moves with an excellent pace in the early going as the hero escapes from prison and then takes to the mountains to elude pursuit. While descriptions of Joe Mack's woods skills are impressive and partially informative, I balked at the lack of threat of hypothermia and frostbite despite the fact that he was contstantly fording rivers and marshes and seldom had more than a 'small fire'. Most disappointingly, the book doesn't end. It simply stops. The long-anticipated showdown with the Yakut tracker Alekhim is completely glossed over, as are the fates of Talya and her elderly companion. Perhaps this was intended to be the first book in a series that L'Amour was unable to finish. Even so, a little tighter editing would have made the conclusion far more satisfying.
