All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone

A Novel

By: John J. Jacobson

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the 20th century who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code. Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn’t appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: He joins the French Foreign Legion.

On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.

Cowboys and Treasure and Germans oh my!

All I can think of while reading this is Indiana Jones meets Hidalgo with a side of Secondhand Lions. Adventure, treasure, romance, old world meets progress. so good

One of my new favorite books

One of my new favorite books. If you like the movie "Second hand lions" you will love this book.

EASY 5 STARS

I will admittedly say that I’m glad I listened to this book because I’m not sure if I would have been able to read it. But after listening… this was so good I absolutely am going to read it. It was kind of a mix between The Alchemist, Heart of Darkness, and Indiana Jones. Heavy on the Indiana Jones at the end and oh my gosh I ate it right up. I wish we had gotten an update on some of the characters from the beginning but that’s my only complaint :)

Clean Epic humorous heartwarming adventure!

So refreshing! Totally clean! You can give the book to your nephews and grandsons. They will love the adventure and you will not have to apologize crappy words or bad scenes.

Great writing with an understated humor

Shades of Mark Twain. Clever writing and interesting characters. Humor understated. Great narration. Thoroughly enjoy it.
