Description
In post-Civil War Texas, the Carstons and their neighbors have to fight to carve out a living and to fend off constant Indian attacks--until Will Carston decides it's time to take a stand. Sick of driving off one Comanche raid after another, Will rides to Austin to get the governor to re-establish the Texas Rangers. A handful of hard-bitten former Rangers fall in with him along the way.
What they get in the Texas capital is a cold shoulder from General Phil Sheridan and a lot of abuse from some Yankee soldiers who think the war is still going on. On the trail back toward Twin Rifles, the former Rangers are hit and hit hard by Comanches. When Will Carston is taken prisoner and tortured, only the Rangers' legendary guts and loyalty can save them --in a blazing showdown of dust, blood and guns.
On the merciless frontier a man and his sons were Texas Rangers--until the Civil War marked the end of their famed rough-riding legion. Now in a land of violence and brutality, scarred by war and uneasy in peace, they've fought rustlers and Comancheros, tamed lawless towns, and upheld the Ranger code.
