This is a fine example of the best of Westerns. Expect great Western entertainment. You will not be disappointed.

Where does Luke Jensen, Bounty Hunter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first book of a series of I believe 4 books on Luke Jensen. I was reading Ralph Compton, Ralph Cotton, and W.R. Benton Western books. A friend of mine told me about W.W. and J.A. Johnstone Westerns and how much he enjoyed them, so I purchased this one and was not surprised.

I was totally immerged in the story and hated to stop with out finishing each.
