As Good as Dead

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.
