Publisher's summary

Best-selling authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone capture the gritty side of the Old West with their Jensen novels. Luke Jensen, Bounty Hunter is the first in an exciting new series starring Smoke's long-lost brother. During the Civil War, Confederate soldier Luke Jensen is ordered to smuggle gold out of the city - but he ends up robbed and shot. Taken in by a Georgia farmer, Luke slowly recovers. Though he plans to rejoin Smoke, a budding romance with the farmer's daughter delays his departure - until a tragic event changes everything.

Another Great William W. Johnstone Book

If you could sum up Luke Jensen, Bounty Hunter in three words, what would they be?

Fast draw avenger

Who was your favorite character and why?

Luke, because of his protective nature towards those he cares about and his sense of honor to bring the raiders who harmed his family and killed his mom to justice.

Luke Jensen

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Any additional comments?

I really liked all he characters: the girl and her grandfather who pulled Luke from the torrent waters of the river, rising from the pouring rain, his friend who was unjustly jailed and scheduled to hang, his dad and his sister Janie, his brother Smoke and his wife, Preacher, etc. All expertly portrayed by Jack Garrett.

Not into Glorifying the Confederacy or their cause

Totally disappointed with Johnstone's obsession with the need to go on and on about the Confederate cause and writing-off, with a one or two sentences, dismissing the real cause of the war being Slavery. Instead nothing but degrading comments about "Yankees" with all his heroes being former confederate soldiers with honorable causes. I have many Johnstone's books but I could not get through all the confederate crap throughout most of the chapters in this one. I love Westerns but why do I have to read or listen to some glorification of the South and the crap about States Rights, still used by the rich today to convince the poor and uneducated it was not about slavery, human bondage and, saving slave owners.

Roy and Gene Are Not Dead!

I am a grown man but I love Westerns.

This is a fine example of the best of Westerns. Expect great Western entertainment. You will not be disappointed.

Pretty good and not as predictable as Louis Lamour

Any additional comments?

An unlikely hero that doesn't always save the day, but comes out with his integrity intact. A little more violent than Lamour, but not over the top.

Confederate Sympathy

As someone from the South, I really cannot abide the lie that the North was somehow guilty of overreach because they wouldn’t allow the South to break up the U.S. in order to continue practicing slavery. Abominable.
