Santa Clara, Colorado, is 24 hours by train from the land where Smoke Jensen found peace and prosperity on his Sugarloaf Ranch. But somehow, Smoke can't stay away from Santa Clara--and from an evil... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I just finished reading Savagery of the Mountain Man. I really think it is one of the best in the Johnstone series about Smoke Jensen. Many of the books about Smoke focus on his ability to defeat large groups of outlaws using his mountain man skills. This book is a little different in that it has more of a bent toward Pearlie, Smoke's longtime friend and boss of his horse ranch. Pearlie lost his wife in a previous book, and finds that he needs time alone. In this book we find out what happens during Pearlie's travels away from the Sugarloaf ranch. In the meantime, Smoke and Sally have a story of their own, and the two tales come together nicely in the end. Even if you have never read a book about Smoke and his friends and family, I think you will enjoy this one. There is enough background provided that you will know the characters. Lots of action, more insight into other characters, and the fact that it's not just another trek into the High Lonesome with Smoke make this a great read.
