Overview

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WITH A SHORTER BARREL, STAND CLOSER TO THE TARGET.

Two action-packed tales about the greatest gunslinger to ever ride the Wild West. When the scales of justice need to be set right, nothing stands in the way of the Mountain Man.

Brutal Night of the Mountain Man

Kate Coldane has sweated blood and tears for her saloon. Now Silas Atwood, the richest rancher in Hudspeth County, is trying to push her around. When her son guns down one of Atwood’s goons, they’ll need Smoke Jensen’s help to wage war against more than two dozen of Atwood's blood-hungry killers. Drunk with power and afraid of no man, Silas Atwood believes Smoke can be stopped with brute force alone. Problem is, Silas Atwood has never heard the legend of the Mountain Man . . .

Venom of the Mountain Man
When Smoke Jensen sees a gang of outlaws holding up a stagecoach, his gunfighter instincts take over and he storms in with guns blazing. He kills one of the gunmen, the rest scatter like rats. But the dead man is the brother of the notorious outlaw Gabe Briggs, who takes revenge by kidnapping Smoke’s wife, Sally. When Smoke gets word of her kidnapping, he boards the first train east where she is reportedly being held. But Briggs’s kill-crazy henchmen are along for the ride. Unless Smoke can punch their ticket to hell first, they’ll blow this train sky high . . . making Smoke a widower.
