As Good as Dead: Smoke Jensen's Frontier

Summary

Now together in one omnibus for the first time, two unrelenting, action-packed tales about the greatest gunslinger to ever ride the Wild West.

Strike of the Mountain Man

In Colorado Territory, Smoke Jensen is trying to live at peace. Then a tinhorn named Puddle enters his valley—and unleashes a hellstorm of a range war. The Mountain Man's former neighbor, Humbolt Puddle, left his crumbling six-hundred-acre ranch to his only living heir, just as a greedy and ruthless cattle baron is circling the Humbolt ranch like a ravenous vulture. Poor, unsuspecting Puddle is walking into a death trap. But he's got the Mountain Man on his side . . .

Butchery of the Mountain Man In Montana Territory, one name strikes fear and hatred in the hearts of the Crow Indians—John Jackson, better known as Liver-Eating Jackson. Consumed by grief and rage, the mountain man has brutally killed ten braves so far in his one-man war of vengeance against the Crow, who murdered his beloved wife. Smoke Jensen knows Jackson by another name—"friend." He's not sure to what extent the stories of Jackson's exploits are true, but he rushes to his old friend's aid—despite terrible odds.
