Synopsis
The 50th Book in the Bestselling Mountain Man Series! A cold day in hell descends upon Texas when mountain man sharpshooter Smoke Jensen pins on a tin star to tackle a wild bunch of bloodthirsty outlaws in this gun-blazing novel from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Johnstone Country. A Glorious Land. Jonas Madigan is dying. He spent his life taming towns and upholding justice across the west with no regrets. Along the way, Madigan took the measure of good men like Smoke Jensen, who has traveled to Salt Lick, Texas to pay his respects to the lawman. But when bandits gun down the small town's current marshal--and Smoke sends the killers to Boot Hill--Madigan asks his friend to wear the badge and keep the peace until a permanent replacement is sworn in. Turns out the bandits were members of Bishop's Mauraders, a twenty-man gang of trigger-happy thieves led by the vicious and venomous Snake Bishop--and they've set their sights on Salt Lick. They're due to arrive at the same time as a monstrous blizzard that's covering up the countryside. Now, it's up to Smoke to turn the townspeople into a posse to defend their lives and land from both mother nature and man's worst nature . . .
My Review
This was a brilliant book. There was so much action and plenty of atmosphere. I definitely felt the tension in this story. It was non-stop action and extremely exciting. I just loved it and couldn't put it down. It certainly takes you on a wonderful roller coaster ride. It was extremely well written and had me on the edge of my seat at times. I loved the surprise twist to the Story. It made it all the more fun. I certainly love the adventures of Smoke Jenson. He is such an amazing character that is so down to earth. If there is a job to do it gets done. I just loved the wonderful characters in this book they were so varied and had brilliant backstories. I have read many books in this series but these books definitely work well as a standalone. I definitely recommend reading this book if you love gun-slinging wonderfully paced western novels.
Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a wonderful story that you won't be able to put down. I can't wait to read more books in this series.
