This is another entertaining western in the Tombstone Jack series. Vicious criminals, a woman left for dead, ranchers, retribution and gun fights make this a fast paced, engaging audiobook with an unexpected turn towards the end. The narrator really adds to the enjoyment of the story and gives all the characters individual voices. My only wish that the stories were longer.

This short story is another in the adventures of bounty hunter Jack Coltrane, better known as Tombstone Jack. But, this nickname isn't because of the number of men he has killed; it's for a much tamer reason that he goes by this name.
Jack and his traveling companion, Burt, come across a burning wagon with two dead men alongside. Upon further inspection, Jack finds a mortally wounded woman. Of course, being the kind of man that he is, he takes her to Cheyenne to a doctor, even though this takes him away from his true purpose of collecting a wanted man and the bounty it will bring.
The story continues as Jack encounters the men responsible for this tragedy, but since there isn't a price on their heads, he hesitates to do more. But, since he is basically a good guy at heart, readers know that he will eventually get the chance to make things right.
These short tales of Tombstone Jack are entertaining for anyone who enjoys the Western genre. Jack is a true Western hero, troubled (but you really don't know why), quick with a gun, gentle with the ladies and only trying to survive. I love the humor that his companion, Burt, adds to this series. The author has a wonderful way with words and I found myself laughing out load a couple of times.
The narrator is perfect for this book and adds a lot to the listener's enjoyment. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

This is the second Tombstone Jack "novelette" I've listened to, and it's awesome!
This time, Jack happens upon a burned up wagon in Wyoming and finds one survivor. The problem is, the ones behind the attack are the Wyoming Raiders... outlaws not to be messed with. And they don't want witnesses. Who's up to the challenge, might you ask? Tombstone Jack, that's who! Look out!
I knew I liked Tombstone Jack before, and now I'm hooked! Great old-school western style shenanigans, loved it! Not too long, can fit it into your schedule anytime.
Great story, great narration, loved it all around.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A DW. Western About an Outlaw Gang Who Has Strong Backing
DW. has penned another Tombstone Jack western. Jack and his partner are chasing a man wanted for fraud. They discover a woman shot. They get her to the doctor. She identified the men who killed her husband and their driver. Jack and Bury begin the long trail to justice, but justice gets kicked in the pants. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Strange!
I enjoyed this book but I found it strange and curt to the core. It was well written and edited.

Bad men, good man.
This was a good, quick story. This author knows how to write interesting tales. All seems well until you get to the meat.

Outstanding
Thoughtful and engaging. No nonsense man governed by what is right and what is wrong. All his books on bounty hunter Jack are stellar.

UNPREDICTABLE WESTERN LIFE
A fast moving adventure of a bounty hunter and his friend/side kick who goes every where and he keeps him company while they are tracking a wanted person. This plot also emphasizes the hardships travelers faced going West to start a new life or they are running from away from something they've done.
It's worth reading, but the ending isn't what you think it'll be.; kinda leaves you wanting more..
