Texas Sanction — R. Mac Wheeler

Carter McCown careens from starting and ending one war, to facing Armageddon that may require pulling another miracle out of his butt. Peace may hinge on secrecy, in the bayous of Texas where Carter learns about the speed of communication -- telephone, telegraph, tell-a-hick.

Intrigue smacks him in the face on a trip he hopes deals with a single case of a rogue wolf, but fears an entire unsanctioned pack, the most powerful lycans in the world. His redneck new hire has been arrested for a murder he couldn't have committed. The metasexual vampire Lord Elizabeth is back in his life. The local bumpkin drama pulls him in five directions. And again his mentor may be undermining Carter's agenda for his own ends.

Note to history buffs -- Davy Crockett may have been a lycan.
