Forty Guns West

First Mountain Man, Book 4

By: William W. Johnstone

Narrated by: J. Rodney Turner

A friendly place...

During a trip back east for a family reunion, Preacher learns that even the civilized Midwest can attract a motherlode of trouble...especially when a gang of local bully boys decides to pick a fight. Now, wealthy landowner Elam Parks lies dead - and there's a $5,000 reward on the head of the man accused: the first mountain man.

...to die

The fortune in blood money has dispatched a small army of bounty hunters after Preacher. Now, back in his once-peaceful homestead in the High Lonesome, as he sights down the barrel of his '33 Hall North breechloader, Preacher is ready for target practice. And he can't think of a more scenic place to pick off the bloodthirsty manhunters, one by one . . .

Super fun read

This is the best Johnstone read I have come across and I have read many many of his works
Preacher really knew how to get after those guys and some of his tactics were absolutely hilarious. I hope to find more jewels like this among his other works

Enjoyed

Well written, well read. Leaves you wanting more. Ready for the next round of Preacher.

A moral mountain man confronts evil

Preacher thinks clearly and acts ethically in the face of lies and callous wickedness. His justice is harsh and true and his goodness is straightforward and matter of course. Many more people would benefit from his consummate good sense and moral decisions. Fine, fine performance by the reader.

True classic!

I was hooked from the beginning!! Almost listened to it two times in a row but too excited about the next book!! Great western story with awesome narrative!

The Edge

As the title says, the book keeps u coming back for more. Totally engrossing and inspiring
