Synopsis


JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE NATURE FORGES THE STRONGEST MEN. Smoke Jensen calls the mountains home. The unforgiving wilderness taught him to survive. There’s no creature he hasn’t fought. There’s no storm he hasn’t weathered. And there’s no man in the untamed West who doesn’t fear his name. The Measure of a Man collects two adventures of New York Times bestselling author William W. Johnstone’s champion of the American frontier in one volume. War of the Mountain Man Nestled in the north Montana Rockies lies Hell’s Creek. A haven for outlaws, every thief and killer with an itchy trigger finger and an appetite for destruction pays their dues to Big Max Higgins, a criminal king seeking to expand his empire. But when he targets the town of Barlow, his gang ends up trading lead with Smoke Jensen, the Last Mountain Man, and the last man they ever should have crossed . . . Law of the Mountain Man In the dead of winter in frostbitten Idaho Territory two ranching outfits are at war, battling over the range. Between them comes Smoke Jensen, traversing the frontier and minding his own business, when he finds himself dodging bullets. Caught in the crossfire, threatened by both sides to sign up or occupy a grave, Smoke declares his own war, leaving casualties colder than the snow across the range . . .


My Review


This was a fantastic 2 in 1 edition book. I loved both stories. The first book was a great 3 star story with plenty of action. I mostly connected with the story and loved the characters. However, the second book. Law of the mountain man totally had me on the edge of my seat. I just loved the character smoke Jensen. He really wanted to help anyone who was being threatened or suffering from injustices. This was a brilliant 5 star book. So taking both into account averaged 4 stars. I believe the first book was really an introduction to the characters then the the second was an all action fast paced story. The diversity of the characters was great and there development was exciting. Making it a real roller coaster ride.

I just love these books that are high action gun slinging , chasing novels. This one did not disappoint. I definitely recommend this book if you love westerns or high action novels.

I just can't wait to read more books by this fabulous author.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating these thrilling fast paced, high action page turning western books.
