Montana Territory

By: Charles G. West

Narrated by: Brian Hutchison

From Spur Award-winning author Charles G. West comes a blistering tale of the American West, where guns are the law, good men are outnumbered - and sudden death is a way of life....

Massacre in Montana

Raised among the Blackfoot, John Hawk is a valuable asset to the US Army. As a military scout at Fort Ellis, he is able to cross the line between two worlds - and help keep the peace. But when he disobeys a direct order from his commander, Hawk is immediately dismissed from his post. That was the army’s first mistake.

The second was losing track of a small mule train en route to Helena. At the request of his former lieutenant, Hawk leaves his cabin on the Boulder River to help find the missing party. The mule train, it appears, was ambushed by a savage gang of outlaws. Most of the travelers were murdered. Only a few survived to tell the tale. And now it’s up to Hawk to stalk the killers across the lawless Montana territory - alone.

No backup. No calvary. No mercy....

a true hearted western

this book had me captivated by the end of chapter one. the main character toes the line between a realistic relatable person, and a beyond belief hero. the story is engaging with equal amounts of heart and action. makes me sad the rest of the series isn't one audible yet.

Above Average Western

This fictional western tale follows a US Cavalry scout on a journey to apprehend an outlaw gang that has murdered and robbed a group of Quaker immigrants. As in most action oriented stories, the protagonist is cast as an overly puritanical super hero spreading good deeds and without vice. At the same time, the story spares the reader of any romantic mush - it remains focused on the action. Montana Territory kept me engaged throughout, and I looked forward to each chapter. Narration fit the story and made for an enjoyable listening experience.

Wilderness guide trying to do the right thing

Fun western of a guide who reluctantly becomes his own lawman. Good story, although it could have been great. In one scene he is saving a young girl from 2 bad ombres and right at the exciting part the author skips the whole shootout! We don’t listen to the dull parts to finally get to some action so that the author can bail out! Weak sauce.

Enjoy this story

Good book I hope to listen to another one by this author. Keeps you interested

A Good Western

This book is about a Calvary scout, named John Hawk, whom takes on a personnel mission of "settling" up with a group of outlaws that murdered and robbed a group of Quakers

Hawk has a way of doing things his way, don't really consider him the hero nor an anti hero, just a regular type guy for the time frame and how he lives. He tries to help all when he can, but isn't going to be taken advantage of either.

The narrator does a good job and kept me captivated from the first chapter.
