Cruel Winter of the Mountain Man

Last Mountain Man, Book 50

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

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

The 50th Book in the Bestselling Mountain Man Series!

A cold day in hell descends upon Texas when mountain man sharpshooter Smoke Jensen pins on a tin star to tackle a wild bunch of bloodthirsty outlaws in this gun-blazing novel from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.

Johnstone Country. A Glorious Land.

Jonas Madigan is dying. He spent his life taming towns and upholding justice across the west with no regrets. Along the way, Madigan took the measure of good men like Smoke Jensen, who has traveled to Salt Lick, Texas to pay his respects to the lawman. But when bandits gun down the small town’s current marshal—and Smoke sends the killers to Boot Hill—Madigan asks his friend to wear the badge and keep the peace until a permanent replacement is sworn in.

Turns out the bandits were members of Bishop’s Mauraders, a twenty-man gang of trigger-happy thieves led by the vicious and venomous Snake Bishop—and they’ve set their sights on Salt Lick. They’re due to arrive at the same time as a monstrous blizzard that’s covering up the countryside. Now, it’s up to Smoke to turn the townspeople into a posse to defend their lives and land from both mother nature and man’s worst nature...

temporary can lead to eternity

if the temp is Smoke and you are a freaky outlaw bound ti destroy a community of peaceful inhabitants. well narrated and exciting plot with good character development.

Another Hit

This guy is just better at writing shit kickers than any Author I've ever read, including L'Amour. His descriptions put you in each scene, like a fly on the wall, and I've enjoyed 50+ books by this Author. If you like Westerns without all the pretentious bullshit you need a PhD to follow, this is your guy.

Cruel Winter of the Mountain Man

This is another great book about Smoke. This is book 50. Smoke gets a letter from an old friend and goes to see him. He ends up staying and putting on a badge to help save the town. I like it better when Pearly and Cal is around but they're not in this book but it's still a five star book. There is a lot of action in this book. A gang is going to take over the town and Smoke is their only chance of surviving. This book holds your attention. I highly recommend this book if you like Smoke. Jack Garrett did a great job narrating this book. Jack has the perfect voice for Smoke. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Cruel Winter

I think it was one of the better books about the mountain men. It did keep my attention from the beginning to the end. With some good surprises. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Really good

We liked this one alot. We think it was well worth the listen. Hope others will enjoy it to.

Great book

I love the whole series - Mountain Man and the Last Mountain Man- Matt Jensen next

A great story again.

I like the Mountain Man series already, and this book did not disappoint. The story took unexpected turns and stayed interesting throughout. I liked the different characters very much. Also, the book developed the importance of citizens overcoming fear in order to stop the evil men from taking over a town. This remains a good lesson today.
