About this listen

Now together in one omnibus for the first time, two unrelenting, action-packed tales about the greatest gunslinger to ever ride the Wild West.

Strike of the Mountain Man

In Colorado Territory, Smoke Jensen is trying to live at peace. Then a tinhorn named Puddle enters his valley—and unleashes a hellstorm of a range war. The Mountain Man's former neighbor, Humbolt Puddle, left his crumbling six-hundred-acre ranch to his only living heir, just as a greedy and ruthless cattle baron is circling the Humbolt ranch like a ravenous vulture. Poor, unsuspecting Puddle is walking into a death trap. But he's got the Mountain Man on his side . . .

Butchery of the Mountain Man

In Montana Territory, one name strikes fear and hatred in the hearts of the Crow Indians—John Jackson, better known as Liver-Eating Jackson. Consumed by grief and rage, the mountain man has brutally killed ten braves so far in his one-man war of vengeance against the Crow, who murdered his beloved wife. Smoke Jensen knows Jackson by another name—"friend." He's not sure to what extent the stories of Jackson's exploits are true, but he rushes to his old friend's aid—despite terrible odds.

Once again I've had the pleasure of listening to an outstanding novel by Johnstone. A pleasant surprise was the story angle used. I won't note the approach (no spoiler alert). Suffice to say said storyline makes for a wonderful spin that so brings the story to a wonderful kaleidoscope of life that maybe even if only in my estimation proves to be pure writers genius. Whether you're a Johnstone sycophant like myself or looking for a tried and true peek into a wild west and turn of the century adventure I humbly suggest you saddle up and take a ride on this bad boy. You won't be disappointed. If not I'll give you back your money .... not really. 😄👍
