Jason Manning
70 books13 followersJASON MANNING was born and continues to live in Texas. An avid reader and history buff from an early age, he favored the works of C.S. Forester, Jack London, Bret Harte, Ernest Haycox, John Steinbeck and William Faulkner. He started writing short stories when he was twelve. He is currently writing his 54th novel, to be published in 2016 by St. Martin's Press.
His first book, Killer Gray, was published in 1979; he did not write his second novel, Gunsmoke on the Sierra Line, until ten years later; it was published in 1989 by Zebra Books. He wrote five more titles for Zebra, Revenge in Little Texas, Texas Helltown and Showdown at Seven Springs among them. From 1990 until 1996 he wrote fourteen novels for HarperCollins using the pseudonym "Hank Edwards," including Gun Glory, Lawless Land, Lady Outlaw and Steel Justice in The Judge series, and the stand-alones Ride for Rimfire, Thirteen Notches, Apache Sundown and Gray Warrior. He also wrote two other westerns for HarperCollins under the pen name "Dale Colter." Beginning in 1993, Dutton Signet began publishing Manning's longer historical/western novels, such as High Country, Green River Rendezvous, Flintlock, Promised Land, American Blood, The Black Jacks, The Marauders; the six Gordon Hawkes novels -- among them Mountain Massacre and Mountain Courage; and the six Barlow novels -- The Long Hunters, War Lovers and Apache Shadow among them.

One of the reasons that I choose this book to listen to was that it had not been reviewed on this forum. Let me say from the start, it was an enjoyable book, easy to follow the story, appreciated the characters and all the rest
Beyond that, honestly, there was not great or captivating about the story. I can not award more than three stars. For me this was just an enjoyable read, or AVERAGE. This was a typical western, revenge, love and all the fun of an enjoyable western. Did it capture me, no. Keep me interested, yes. Was I excited to listen to what was going to happen in the next chapter, more curious than anything.
This was a good story to listen to on my way to and from work. Again, an average read.
