  • "This is a story of the early days when ... An intense, red-haired young man named Rusty Shannon rides into Fort Belknap on the Brazos River and joins the Texas Rangers. Years before, Mike Shannon rescued Rusty from a Comanche war party and became his adoptive father. Not long ago, Mike Shannon, was bushwhacked and killed, and his death still haunts Rusty. Rusty thinks he knows the identity of Mike's killers. But with Texas now in the throes of seceding from the Union, Rusty has his hands full fighting for the law in lawless Texas and for the life of the woman he loves. If that were not enough of a burden, Rusty is also heading for a showdown with the Comanche warrior who killed his family over twenty years ago."@en

  • "When his adoptive father is bushwhacked and killed in Texas in 1861, Rusty Shannon rides to Fort Belknap on the Brazos River and joins the Texas Rangers. Mike Shannon's death haunts him; he owed his life to Mike, who rescued him from a Comanche war party when he was a child, and Rusty thinks he knows the killer's identity. With Texas now in the throes of secession, Union sympathizers are regarded as traitors and it is Rusty's fate to fall in love with the daughter of such a sympathizer and fall afoul of the zealots who want to hang all Unionists. Rusty has his hands full fighting for the law in lawless Texas, and for the life of Geneva Monahan and her family - and is also heading for a showdown with the Buffalo Caller, the Comanche warrior who killed his family over twenty years ago."
  • "Rusty Shannon is burdened by the conflict between his duties as a Texas Ranger and his sense of justice when he comes face to face with the Comanche warrior whose band killed his family and took him captive two decades earlier."
