See all formats and editions

The Greatest Western Writer Of The 21st Century

Two outlaw brothers have been leaving a blood-trail on their way to infamy on the western frontier. Until bounty hunter Luke Jensen catches one of the black-hearted Kroll brothers away from his gang. But while Luke is trying to get Mordecai Kroll from jail to justice, he's ambushed by the Kroll gang and taken prisoner. And that draws Luke's own brother Smoke Jensen into the fight, guns drawn. . .

Brothers By Blood. Brothers By Battle.

With Smoke Jensen comes fire--adopted son Matt and lifelong friend Preacher, who storm into battle to save Luke Jensen from the Krolls. With trigger-happy back-stabbers, cutthroat outriders, and murdering devils joining the fray, the deadly mayhem paints the harsh landscape an unforgiving red--a place where Jensen's enemies go to die. . .

LUKE JENSEN KIDNAPPED

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Another great action packed adventure of the Brothers Jensen, blood or not. It doesn't matter because they stand together including Preacher whose still percolating and as smart and agile as he was in his earlier years. A tab but slow some might say because of his age, which we can estimate is in the early eighties, but that hasn't caused him a problem.
Luke, Smoke, Matt and Preacher are called together because Like had been kidnapped by the notorious Krill Gang. Brother Mordecai Krill has been arrested by Luke Jensen,Bounty Hunter and is now jailed in a Phoenix jail waiting for trail, which will result in his hanging..not a happy ending. Brother Rudolph learned of his brother's capture from the many spies he has planted around the territory. His secondo, Galt, brought him a copy of the 'Harpers Weekly' which had an article about the capture and future sentence of hanging after his conviction. Rudolph wasn't a happy camper about his brother's situation and wanted REVENGE. Which he would obtain by kidnapping Luke, which they did. Smoke was notified about his brother's kidnapping for the exchange of Mordecai whose present home is the notorious Yuma Prison, which I think still exist. Oh well, not a pleasure palace but what prison is. If prison reform was present during the times of these infamous prisons such as Deerfield, Huntsville, Angola and other pits of 'Hell' which still exist, prison reformers would have really had their hands full trying to institute healthy fairness regarding the treatment of prisoners..such as life.
One thing we can say about those Jensen Men, they stick together and distance is nothing not will it hold them back. The call for 'HELP ' and they ride, this includes Preacher a hardy bunch of fighters and shootist.
All you JENSEN MEN AND PREACHER ride hardy, keep the wind and the sun at your backs and keep your powder dry..Ride on

Good story with plenty of action!

This book held my attention from page one. I liked the story and the characters, and the action throughout. I can honestly say I have read way more than 50 of William Johnstones western dating back to the original Preacher, Mountain Man, Eagles, and other great series written by the master himself. This story is written with more of his style than others I have read. This entire series has been great, and I would suggest it to everyone.

Another outstanding store on the Jensen family

Another outstanding story in the series on the Jensen family. Keeps your interest as it continues to tell the adventures of the different members of the family, the challenges all building to a ending that keeps you wanting more. Having read all the of the series on this family as includes great history about the west, the early pioneer days with the Mountain Man and including those characters in the different books on the Jensen family. If you like to read westerns - you'll enjoy this book as well as others by this author. .

I thought I would read one William Johnstone book and be done. Well, I'm now on my fifth straight one and already starting to read another one. The stories are interesting and full of action. In this one, the entire Jensen family (Preacher, Smoke, and Matt) come together to help one of their own, Luke. Luke was kidnapped by the Kroll gang in exchange for one of their members who was imprisoned. I didn't particularly care for the addition of the female reporter, she seemed like an interloper to the story for me. I bought Whispersync for audio capability. The narrator was okay, but I stuck with reading the Kindle instead. Really enjoyed this book.

Read this book!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

One of the better books. Although written by J.A. Johnstone, it is still in the same tone of William Johnstone. I think he would have approved of the story and the reunion of the Jensen bunch. There are individual stories about all of them before the grand finale and those add to the excitement of the family reuniting. If it is your first William Johnstone book, you are in for a treat. I hope there are more of this family coming. I still love Preacher and his brand of justice. It is an easy read and a great escape that most of us can not imagine.

Very well done. More twists and turns than you could realize. I just don't see how anyone in real life could accomplish such a massacre but those Jenson's did it again.

Really enjoyed this book, just like all of Johnstone books.. Starts with action stays with action and ends with action. Very good story to bring Smoke, Matt and Preacher back together so they can save Luke and rid the west of more bad men. Great family story how none of the Jensen's are afraid to put life on the line for each other..Hope that J.A.Johnstone keeps these good stores coming, has done an excellent job so far. Waiting for next one........
