Publisher's summary

One of the best-selling Western writers of all time, William W. Johnstone established three of the genre’s most enduring characters in Matt and Smoke Jensen and their stalwart friend Preacher. In Helltown Massacre, the family Jensen lands squarely in the crosshairs of a railroad tycoon trying to run the iron horse through Paiute territory. To protect the land, three honest men will face half a hundred hired guns—impossible odds, unless you’re a Jensen.

Duplicate story different title

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Make the advertized book the one that was downloaded, not the same story with a different title which I had already downloaded.

Has The Family Jensen turned you off from other books in this genre?

Only the sense that I'm being deceived in the purchase of audiobooks.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jack Garrett?

I don't think this problem is the narrator's fault.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

This is not a problem with the book or the author. It is a problem with marketing or data base cross-over.

Hellltown

I enjoyed this reading of helltown. it brought to life what had transpired over a period of time of crude businessmen and their greed. they wanted to remove the Indians by bringing the calvary in. Destroy a man's life by framing him of a murder that he did not commit. it shows that evil does not triumph.

Great characters

Once again the family Jenson saves the day and entertained. Jack Garrett did an amazing job narrating and bringing the characters to life, there is always the telegraphed mistakes that lead to the prolonged issues and trouble, but it was still a fun listen.

Three Amigos

I liked this book. It was a nice prequel to The Jansen Brand series. I enjoyed the back stories for Smoke, Matt, and Preacher. I lost track of all the gun fights or the number of bad guys killed. Again, A happy ending.

Make this into a movie!!

This is everything an enthusiastic western reader could want. The description of the fighting, shooting, and knifing conflicts leap right off the pages into your consciousness creating a flourish of images producing an action movie in your mind.
