This the third book in the Texas Ranger series by Elmer Kelton was absolutely riveting. The action came flying off the pages so quick that I just couldn't put the book down. By now you have come to know all the characters and deeokt care about their exploits and what happens to them. Rusty Shannon former Texas Ranger and main character finds himself waist deep in trouble from his old nemesis the Oldhams who steal his farm by making it seem that he hadn't paid his taxes, and trouble brews with his ward Andy Pickhard/Badger Boy who is more Indian than Texan, and to the Monahan's who had one of their own captured by Indians. Kelton carries us deeper into the yarn engulfing us into the despair so much so that you can get lost in the pages as it takes you deep into the Lone Star State and beyond. Kelton can craft and pen a story so it takes hold and makes you feel like you have went back in time and experience it yourself. This like so many of his books, makes you want to pick up the next and see where it takes you!!
