The Gun Smith

De: C.J. Petit

Narrado por: Michael Alan White

Mack Smith had left his shop in Pueblo and was just an hour or so from reaching his brother’s ranch for his annual visit when he felt the bullet slam into his head, and when his eyes finally opened, he found himself flat on his back on the bottom of a ravine.

What the hell had happened? He was only a gunsmith, not a gunfighter. Who would want him dead? When he discovered the reason for the mistaken assassination, it led to bigger changes in his life than he could ever have imagined, and the end to lots of other lives.

The kindness of Matt. And his understanding. This part was breath of fresh air.

I belive to meany people to keep up with. It was if the writer was just putting in filler.

Good Story

I’ve loved a good Western story since childhood, and that appreciation extends to Western movies as well. Recently, I finished reading “The Gun Smith” by C. J. Petit, a captivating novel that I could barely put down—it kept me engrossed late into the night. I learned that Petit began his writing journey later in life while undergoing treatment for cancer, a battle he sadly lost a few years ago. Despite the circumstances, his talent for storytelling shines through. He had an incredible gift for creating unforgettable characters that linger in your thoughts long after you’ve turned the last page, as if they were old friends. Given the challenges he faced, I can overlook any proofing errors on his part, though I hold the publishing company’s editors to a higher standard. If you're in the mood for a wholesome story with a touch of philosophy, I highly recommend exploring Petit’s works. I have long been a Louis L’Amour fan and now will add C. J. Petit to my favorite western authors list.

I listened to this book as an audiobook via Audible. It spans twelve hours and thirty-one minutes, and Michael Alan White does an excellent job narrating the story.
