Quest Of The Mountain Man Trek Of The Mountain Man

It didn't matter that the warrant was years old, or that Smoke Jensen has been cleared of all charges. A Texas bounty hunter named Bill Pike believed he could still collect at USD 10,000 reward for killing Jensen - and he intended to do just that. But when Pike and his men came calling, Jensen was nowhere to be found. So they took the next best thing - Smoke's woman - left behind a ransom note, and headed up into the Rocky Mountains.

The newest adventure in Johnstone's Mountain Man series finds Smoke Jensen recruiting some hard-fighting mountain men to act as guardian angels to the men building a railroad through the vast Canadian Rockies, which makes them easy prey for outlaws and hostile Indian tribes. Original.

THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITER OF THE 21ST CENTURY Smoke Jensen never wanted to kill, but fate had other plans, and the Mountain Man has left plenty of blood, tears and fury in his wake. Angus MacDougal, the father of one of Smoke's victims, wants revenge. Riding up to Big Rock, Colorado, MacDougal has decided that killing Smoke won't be enough. He intends to bring him back to Pueblo and hang him before a crowd. It's a bloodthirsty plan that might have worked, except for a beautiful young woman, and the small knife she slips into Smoke's hand. Suddenly Smoke is on the run in the Colorado wilderness with no gun, no supplies, and twenty armed men in pursuit. Once, a man named Preacher taught Smoke how to survive in this wilderness. Now, as a brutal winter bears down, the Mountain Man will use those lessons well—not only to fight his way out alive, but also for vengeance of his own. . .

When a greedy bounty hunter, believing that he can use an old warrant and still get a $10,000 reward for killing Smoke Jensen, kidnaps Smoke's woman, Smoke, hell-bent on revenge, sets out to rescue her in a blaze of glory that will only leave one man standing--Smoke Jensen. Original.
