Rage of the Mountain Man

Mountain Man Series, Book 13

By: William W. Johnstone

Narrated by: J. Rodney Turner

Smoke Jensen is the most powerful man on the Sugarloaf frontier - and he's all that stands between a greedy group of Eastern slickers and their schemes for a criminal empire in the Rockies. When Smoke heads back to Boston with his wife, it gives his enemies the opening they'd been waiting for: to kill the mountain man and take over the West.

But even on the unfamiliar turf of back alleys and teeming docks, Smoke is more than most men can handle...until his wife is kidnapped. Now Smoke is in a fury and in this fight all the way from Boston back to Dodge City and up to Yellowstone, where a brutal showdown with a gang of hired guns awaits...and where, in a blazing hail of bullets and blood, the legend of the big man is about to grow even bigger....

They called him fastest gun alive, but Smoke Jensen is determined to stay on the right side of the law. That is, until he's jumped by six low-life robbers who steal his shirt-and his identity. Smoke's tried for robbery and murder, and sentenced to hang in morning. Someone's out to frame the Mountain Man...someone who's made a big mistake.

Contains mature themes.

Black hair??

Whoever wrote this must never have read the previous books, Smoke did NOT have black hair. No mention of the children living in Europe or with Sally's parents.The little cabin turned into a two story house. Story a bit drawn out, a bit more unbelievable than normal.

I've been a great fan since 1st Mountain Man.

It's the usual story. Bad man comes and then Good man sends him to see his maker.

A rough edged Hopalong Cassidy

Imagine a PG-17 Hopalong Cassidy, Ray “Crash Corrigan, James Arness. As a Frontiersman. That is what Smoke Jensen brings to mind. The Irish were commonly used as head knockers by the Rail Roads in the latter half of the 19th century. So this story is believable.
