Publisher's summary

Once, Frank Morgan had a wife and a future on the land — until a rich man with a grudge drove him out of Colorado. Since then, Morgan's taken up the one skill that always came easy — gunfighting — and drifted to a mining town in the New Mexico Territory. 

But there's nothing easy about two vicious gangs descending on the town and threatening to wreak havoc. With his reputation preceding him, Morgan is elected to stand in the outlaws' way. 

And with nothing left to lose, he's the last man who will ever back down....

Western Gunfighter Story

As a reader of Mr Johnstone's works, this one seemed slow at times. There seemed to me to be too much action crammed in a shorter story to be done really well. There are plenty of his other works that were better.

Enjoyed my first Western

I laughed and was sad. Loved all the different characters.. To me it really makes a difference when you have a cast of people its more like watching a play in your mind when you close your eyes. I can actually visualize what each character looks like. Really enjoyed this book.

Well done.

Very well done. Enjoyed the entire story. Can’t wait to hear more. Keep up the good work.

Good book

I am so glad to have found a Frank Morgan series again I really enjoy listening to them I’m not a big friend of graphic audio but this one here is actually pretty good

Frank Morgan in now a Lawman.

Frank Morgan had been a gunfighter for the past thirty years. Before that as a youngster he worked on a ranch. A cow puncher had always bullied him around. One day Frank had had enough and laid him out with a busted nose. The ranch owner told him he should get a gun and learn how to use it to protect himself. He did and when he thought he was proficient enough with it, he left the ranch and became a gunfighter. Frank just hit the trails, never had a destination in mind, just drifted and stopped when anywhere he wanted. He became a well known gunfighter and many challenged him, but now they are in the ground.

In this story his occupation takes a turn and as he finds himself wearing a badge again. He doesn’t just walk the boardwalks though. Frank Morgan has his work cut out for himself. This story I found was packed with action. Of course to add insult to injury, he does have those who still challenge him to gain a reputation as the man who took down the fastest gunslinger, Frank Morgan.

In my opinion, this is for the adults, not for children or the weak at heart.

Good book

I feel David Coyne did a great job with the narrative m The book was good n the same style of all the Wm. W. Johnston's book. I did all the Smoke Jensen Book and am currently listen to The Preacher book.

Great story!!

Well written. I am looking forward to the listening to the rest of this series.

great story. I just started the series

loved the story. I just wish these productions were longer and went into a bit more detail

Frank Morgan

This Is the first book about Frank Morgan. This book starts out telling about his first wife (Vivian). Conrad Browning is in this book . Conrad is a spoiled Brat in this book. Later When Conrad turns into Kid Morgan he becomes one of my favorite people to read about. In this book Frank learns Conrad is his son. Frank takes the job as sheriff and he has to and wants to protect Vivian. There is people trying to kidnap Her and Conrad. There is a big gunfight at the end. Along with a lot of action in the whole book. This is a great start to the series. There is several narrators in this book. They do a good job bringing this book to life.
