Jake Walker, Texas Ranger "REVOLT"
This is a work of fiction but based on real events from Texas History. The time period of this action-adventure is in the late 1870s. For the first time, Jake Walker, Texas Ranger, is introduced to a similar organization to the Texas Rangers. These groups of Mexican lawmen, “Los Rurales” were founded by President Benito Juarez under the same guidelines as the Texas Rangers. Not many of their targets ever escape justice. Jake Walker is asked by the governor of Texas to investigate Los Rurales, but also to intercede in an uprising by local citizens of both Texas and Mexico in the small town of San Elizario, Texas. The fighting is vicious and deadly to both Texas Rangers and local citizens. The end of this story is climaxed by the intervention of Jake and other Texas Rangers during one of the saddest times in Texas Ranger history. If the reader enjoys tantalizing Texas Ranger action, coupled with an enormous collection of interesting characters, this is your book to read. Grab your copy today!
