Publisher's summary

“Lookit you. What's your problem?”

The stranger glanced at Ike, and he immediately knew that he and his boys were simply trouble, looking for more trouble. It was best not to add coal to the fire, and the stranger knew it. He simply looked away and continued drinking his whiskey. Perhaps if he ignored them, they would just leave it at that. Unfortunately, it was simply not to be.

“You look at me when I'm talking to you! Don't you know who I am? I'm Ike Ferguson, and I've killed men a lot bigger than you!”

Ike got uncomfortably close to the stranger. It was clearly a tense situation that threatened to boil over, but the stranger did not move. He seemed unaffected and unconcerned, even if a man as threatening as Ike Ferguson was right in his face.

The Stranger

This is a good quick western to listen to. There is a lot of story line and detail in it. Brooks Corley did a good job narrating this book. He has a good voice for western books

A fun listen

I first want to mention how great the narrator is. He elevates the material, from a simple western to a gripping drama. This was tense and intense, and just a great way to spend time. Recommend!

Enjoyable Western

The Stranger by John J. Law is a nice short listen. Great characters that are well developed with a smooth flowing story line with themes of greed, disloyalty and murder. Brooks Corley does a fine job narrating. Recommended

A short jaunt to the old west

You ever watch his old Clint Eastwood movies where he plays the stranger that roles in the town and all hell breaks loose? This is a lot like that only in this case the stranger just wants to be left alone. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for him.

The story is quick it’s just over an hour long, but there’s a lot to it and there’s more meat than there is bone and gristle

Once again, Brooks Corley proves that he is the man for the job when it comes to Western’s. His narration is spot on perfect every time.

A great Western experience - Highly recommended

If you like Westerns, you will enjoy this one. I particularly enjoyed the narrator's gritty, true Western, voice which sounded so well while listening ti the story. In between the moments of drama, the story also shares some more softer interludes that are well scripted by the author. Highly recommended.
