Venom of the Mountain Man



Smoke Jensen is the patriarch of the Johnstone legacy, and his bestselling series The Mountain Man continues with another epic battle for justice in the heart of the American Frontier.

Johnstone Justice. What America Needs Now.
 
A TRAIN RIDE TO HELL
 
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 the rats they are. Another notch on the sharpshooter’s weathered grip. But the dead man is the brother of the notorious outlaw Gabe Briggs, and Briggs will want revenge . . .
 
Tired of the savagery of the lawless countryside, Smoke’s wife Sally heads back east for a spell, only to find the big city  choking in filth, violence, and corruption. Before Sally can head back home, though, she’s snatched right off the street.
 
When Smoke gets word that Sally’s been kidnapped, he hops the first train east. But Gabe Briggs and his ruthless bandof bad men are along for the ride. Unless Smoke can punch their ticket to hell first, they’ll blow this train sky high . . .

J.A. Johnstone

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  

He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.

"Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,' he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'"
