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.

Outstanding - Get this book

This is one of my favorite books of all time. An escape adventure that you can't put down and will want to read more than once. 5 stars!

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.

Awesome

Great

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.

Great Stuff!

Could NOT put it down!

Real page turner, action packed...

I have read this book twice, purchased it as a gift for my son-in-law in my opinion this is one of L'Amours best....

Amazing read

One of the best Cold War era books ever written and my favorite of Lamore's.

Best book ever

It's my favorite book. I have read it about 30 times and I aam still not tired of it.

Wonderful

Great read! Have read it multiple times and never get tired of it.

great read

L'amour writes westerns and then there is The Last Of The Breed. Great story fascinating to read.

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.

Fantastic Book

A book that once you start it you can't put it down.

A reviewer

pretty much the best book ever made! it was off da chain!

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.
