Publisher's summary

"Superb from start to finish. An instant classic." —New York Times Bestselling Author Marc Cameron on Forever Texas

Experience the gritty reality of life on the Texas frontier in this riveting historical adventure based on actual events and the true history of the legendary King Ranch, as one pioneering ranch family carves out their own piece of the American West…

South Texas, 1854. Regis Royle is determined to turn eighteen-thousand acres of raw prairie into the greatest cattle ranch in the world. But he can’t do it alone. The region is wilder than a herd of mustangs—and crawling with rustlers. Teaming up with the Cattlemen’s Justice Consortium, Regis hopes to stop the rustling and start laying tracks for a new railway. Problem is, the cattlemen—including Jarvis “Bone” McGraw, Regis’s own ranch manager—can’t help but lock horns with the Texas Rangers. And it doesn’t take long for this brewing pot of very bad blood to get a whole lot worse . . .

First blood is spilled in Corpus Christie. Regis’s reckless young brother Shep is wounded by the beautiful daughter of their fiercest enemies, the powerful Valdez family. The news of a possible rail line has divided the ranchers into warring factions. And Regis Royle has to keep the peace with McGraw, take a gamble with his business partner, and keep his wayward brother in one piece. But things really heat up when Regis learns that the Valdez family are claiming rights to the Royle Ranch’s land. And they’ll do anything to get it back. Even kill . . .

The brothers Royle may be newcomers but they’re no greenhorns. They’ve got what it takes to be Texans. And that means never stop fighting for your dream.

Story

To many plot lines. Jumpy paragraph to paragraph. Should be a story not just about being a wordsmith.

Rambling storyline with too many extraneous bits of information

Way too much extraneous and uninteresting information that bogged down the story. Listened to hours before admitting that I really didn’t care if I finished it.

The story at the end

The only part that made sense and I could keep up with was the last hour and a half of the book. The rest of the book was just gobbly cook
