Smoke Jensen was the last mountain man and the quickest draw in the West. But he was tired of fighting every punk who wanted to make a reputation for himself, so he hung up his .45s.
It Didn't Last Long . . .
Like Jensen, the two Mexican gunfighters known as Carbone and Martine had put away their six-guns, married and turned to ranching down in Durango. Then they came up against an army of outlaws under a warlord who called himself Carvajal. That was when they called on Smoke Jensen. Smoke didn't waste a minute. When your friends called, you came running. Carvajal laughed when he heard that Smoke Jensen was on the way. After all, what could one man do?
Contains mature themes.

Doug Van Liew provides his usual range of hard-bitten characters with macho panache and the occasional pronunciation gaffe--such as "excape" for "escape." This Smoke Jenson adventure offers high action and frontier justice, as listeners would expect. But we also find Jenson distracted by encroaching middle age and thoughts of mortality, an intriguing development for this previously invulnerable hero. Unfortunately, the tale includes unnecessary elements of scatological humor and distracting sound effects, plus an overly sentimental subtext as Jenson takes a maltreated lad under his wing. In the end, Jenson's toppling of a Mexican crime tyrant is predictably bloody but provides the closure required of a good Western. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
