Johnstone Country. Where Fools Rush In--And Are Carried Out.
With his epic novels of the Jensen family, William W. Johnstone has
captured the pioneer spirit of America. Now he reveals the untold story
of Smoke Jensen's long-lost brother Luke, thought to have been killed in
the fiercest war in our nation's history.
SMOKE'S LONG-LOST BROTHER, LUKE
The last days of the Civil War. With Richmond under siege, Confederate
soldier Luke Jensen is assigned the task of smuggling gold out of the
city before the Yankees get their hands on it--when he is ambushed and
robbed by four deserters, shot in the back, and left for dead. Taken in
by a Georgia farmer and his beautiful daughter, Luke is nursed back to
health. Though crippled, he hopes to reunite with his long-lost brother
Smoke, but a growing romance keeps him on the farm. Then fate takes a
tragic turn. Ruthless carpetbaggers arrive and--in a storm of bullets
and bloodshed--Luke is forced to strike out on his own. Searching for a
new life. Hunting down the baddest of the bad...to become the greatest
bounty hunter who ever lived.
This is the sprawling saga of one fearless man who would stop at
nothing to bring outlaws to justice--and freedom to America . . .
