The Jackals

Jackals Series, Book 1

By: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

Alone, these justice fighters are dangerous enough. Together they're a wild bunch known as the Jackals. Now, nationally best-selling authors William W. and J. A. Johnstone are turning them loose....

With Apaches on the prod, ex-cavalry sergeant Sean Keegan, bounty hunter Jed Breen, and ex-Texas Ranger Matt McCulloch take shelter in a West Texas way station - along with a hot-as-a-pistol female bound for the gallows, a spiteful newspaper editor, and a coward with $50,000 who promises them five grand if they'll deliver his blood-soaked stash to his wife.

Turns out, Indians might be the least of the problems for the trio, soon to be known as the Jackals. The loot's stolen property of the vengeful Hawkin gang, and these prairie rats are merciless, stone-cold killers. And the brother of the man the woman killed wants to butcher her himself rather than watch her swing. McCulloch, Keegan, and Breen are ready for a showdown - but the Jackals may not live to spend that $5,000.

Performance

Performance is excellent ; story predictable and too many characters. That is why I gave it three stars.

Hard to follow

This was a good story and the narrattion was excellent but it jumped characters so often that it was hard to follow as an audio book. If one was reading it instead of listening, it wouldn't be a problem.

Favorite book ive listened to by this author

I have purchased and listned to dozens of books by the Johnstones. This book was entertaining, action packed, with refreshing added humor mixed in. i look forward to the next book in this series.

Fair

This one was difficult to get into. Started to not listen to it. But it finally came together and ended pretty good.

Stu

I thought story was to long. It dragged at times. To much detail about the landscape. Overall I thought the plot was OK.
