The Tim Colter series is a two-book mountain man adventure set in the American wilderness. Tim Colter is a young man heading west who finds himself in country that will kill anyone who isn’t tough enough or smart enough to survive it. The mountains don’t care about your plans, and neither do the people and animals that live in them.
Both books were published in 2017. Colter’s Journey sets Tim on his path into the wilderness, and The Edge of Violence raises the stakes with human enemies who are just as dangerous as the terrain. J.A. Johnstone wrote the series in the tradition of classic mountain man fiction, with an emphasis on survival, self-reliance, and the raw beauty of the frontier landscape. Two books makes for a tight, focused story without any filler.
