Riding horseback and injuries make the genre of this boo realistic fiction I got about half way through the book and I realized that this book is going to tie into another book by Johnstone It s interesting how a few different books could have all the same theme and can be all related back to one story The main ideas of this book is family Luke leaves his family to go to war and ends up returning home by accident One thing that I was able to take away from the novel was that the world is actually a small place and you ll never know who you will run into next The author was definitely trying to say that the world has a history of repeating itself Luke Jensen now has become a bounty hunter after a very intense injury held Luke up for a few months Luke has had a couple of run ins with the law.

And evidence indicated he d had men killed in order to grab their land That particular Luke Smith can go back to Georgia without having to worry about the law any I know that this book was created for entertainment as well as all the other books by Johnstone This book went by kind of quick I thought because for the small amount of time I had each day to read it only felt like a few days went by The book was quite interesting I don t think I ever really enjoyed a book that I read at home After I finished reading this book I immediately went to library to find another Johnstone novel Luke used a Remington handgun and I have a shotgun that is a Remington The gunfights and how Johnstone makes it seem like you re in the book and people are actually getting hurt like the main character sets the book over the edge From doing chores on a farm to killing people in bar fights Luke is always trying to do the right thing If you want a book that entertains you and if you want a western then this is the book for you If I were to recommend this book to somebody I would have to say it s for people that enjoy westerns.

Luke Jensen, Bounty hunterquote

I don t read too many westerns but I liked this one good story line good guys bad guys pretty women what s not to like Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 I hadn t had a western in my book queue for a while so when the opportunity to snap a few up came my way I grabbed them I think like many people I had some preconceived notions about westerns that were misguided Simplistic cowboy stories that set the stage for the lone American hero The HBO series Deadwood changed that idea to some extent I started to examine the subtext of what these stories were really about. Luke jensen bounty hunter book series Luke Jensen tells the first part of the story in a flashback after he is injured during getting a bounty It details his time as a confederate soldier and how he and seven other men were tasked with transporting the last of the Confederate gold to a new location in Georgia as Richmond was under attack and before its fall During the course of transporting the gold the commanding officer is killed during an ambush from Union soldiers Four of the men including Luke decide to remain true to the confederate cause and ensure the gold reaches its destination The other four sensing the fall of the confederacy decide to steal the gold In the course of the theft Luke s companions are killed and Luke is severely injured. Book about a female bounty hunter He is then rescued by a farmer and his granddaughter During the course of recovering on their farm they all find out that the south has fallen and the war is over In short order however northerners move to the south and begin the process of reconstruction which for certain of them means buying up property or forcing out southern owners through political and violent means Luke takes matters into his own hands in order to protect his hosts This forces him to move on ultimately and he then proceeds to become a professional bounty hunter This brings us to the second part of the story. Best books featuring bounty hunters His exploits as a bounty hunter are examined His travels from city to city the people he meets along the way and bits of information he collects along the way Some of this information will become important in part three of the book It also shows us where Luke s vulnerabilities are and his thoughts and reasons for not returning to his own home in the Ozarks after he left the military.

PDF Luke Jensen, Bounty hunter series What got me thinking in this book was about soldiers who returned after war and s pent time searching to find their way From the civil war when this book is set to today s vets returning from Afghanistan and Iraq young men and now women return to the civilian world displaced. EBook Luke Jensen, Bounty hunter series For many entry to the war as a soldier was a career opportunity and once that ends we expect them to return to regular life but they are not built for much except killing After the civil war the cowboy myth developed and after World War II Korea and Vietnam cowboys were replaced with bikers So the cowboy myth is really the disaffected soldier reality. Luke jensen bounty hunter series The second thing that sprang to mind was to the victor belong the spoils Many manufacturers from the north found opportunity in the south and were willing to exploit it To do that they were willing to displace and mistreat those southerners who had already suffered extensive damage to their homes and livelihood Likewise after every war we have seen the vanquished displaced from their homes while the victors have exploited the economic downturns suffered by the losers to create cheap manufacturing opportunities Of course now we are seeing that as energy issue oil. EPub Luke Jensen, Bounty hunter x In the cowboy myth the bounty hunt is an economic opportunity But after every conflict we also see an upturn in the hiring of police More police means we need to have villains to go around After the civil war we saw the westward movement which required states and territories to be formed and legislation to be enacted and enforced The cowboy myth is really a dark tale of identity crisis and economic displacement and opportunity I encourage readers to re examine the western genre and look at the subtexts It will be like watching Breaking Bad or Mad Men while reading a both a myth and a history of the post civil war era Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 Title Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 Author William W Johnstone with J A JohnstoneE book 321Year 2011Publisher Pinnacle BooksMy rating 5 out of 5 starsLuke Jensen Bounty Hunter is the first book in the Luke Jensen series that reveals the some of Luke s history The use of flashbacks in the novel highlight the hard times Luke has faced as well as the reason he never returned home after the Civil War.

I do so love a good Western I think that comes from reading my Papaw Faulkner s Louis L Amour books when I was a young girl Even as an adult I feel like I have found my home and people in these kind of novels I had no idea what to expect from Mr Johnstone but the reviews made it worth a look I am so glad I did The opening grabbed my attention completely but falling into the Civil War made me hesitate Have I mentioned before that I am not usually a fan of historical fiction Once we began to see the person of Luke develop I knew I had to continue Never go looking for trouble but don t back down from it either Duty and family honor life isn t fair but never quit always help if you can By the end of the book I felt like I was a long lost Jensen I must read and I most certainly need to read the Smoke Jensen stories as well Woo hoo I have a new Western series The bad guys are bad the good guys are good and yet everyone is who they are because of their choices Why can t life be that simple and people be that good Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 The Johnstone Clan of writers do tend to present their best in the opening salvo of the series It s done again with this book. Luke Jensen, Bounty Hunter kindle paperwhite The writing is OK and the story is good Much better than most Johnstone Clan books mostly due to the story having very different settings than nearly all Johnstone Clan books This has a good part of it set in Georgia A very refreshing change As is the complex story intertwining the War Between the States a series of great Johnstone characters and well worked out plot Though for me the story was rolling so well in Georgia i wish it had stayed there Bottom line i recommend it 7 out of 10 points Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 I get the feeling this is not a stand alone book There were a couple of major unanswered questions such as what became of two wagon loads of gold They spent it all I don t think so The other was why the four renegades would find any need to run off and kill Luke s father I m sure I ll have to read another four or five books to find out but really I was hoping I wouldn t have to Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 Title Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter 1 Author William W Johnstone with J A JohnstoneE book 321Year 2011Publisher Pinnacle BooksMy rating 5 out of 5 starsLuke Jensen Bounty Hunter is the first book in the Luke Jensen series that reveals the some of Luke s history The use of flashbacks in the novel highlight the hard times Luke has faced as well as the reason he never returned home after the Civil War.
