Part of Series
Capt. Rowdy Bates had a perfect life. He lived with his family in a house in the center of Laredo, Texas. He appeared to have everything a man could ever want. But a dark future awaits the honest Texas Ranger. An evil twist of fate threatens to change his life entirely, and there appears to be no way back to what it once was. The Tonkawa scouts, Tuc and Potak, hire on with the captain to track two evil killers who are killing innocent families and burning homes across the state. They embark on a journey across Texas and into The Oklahoma Territories. Life on the reservations is hard, and food is scarce. As the tribes attempt to scratch out a living on drought-ridden and plague-infested land, a handful of greedy ranchers and Indian agents scheme to deprive them of the necessities of life. The once proud Indians are starving. A different type of Texas Ranger takes chase and holds no quarter. After a personal tragedy Capt. Bates is a changed man and wreaks the wrath at will. He ignores the law and all he had stood for in the past.
Author
Ash Lingam is an Amazon Best Selling Author. He has written over one hundred novels and short stories in the Western genre. He has published nine series about the Texas Rangers, US Marshals, and Bounty Hunters, and his new additions to the Frontier & Pioneer Western Fiction—the Mountain Men series. Ash was born on a ranch in the Midwestern United States. It was during a time when Westerns were magical both at the movies and on television. As a boy, he collected Indian arrowheads in the fields and rode his horse, Sugar, in the woods as he played cowboys and Indians. From age twelve, he hunted to put food on the family table when his grandpa, Pop, gave him his first double-barrel shotgun—at eight taught him how to trap in our ponds and the creeks at the end of our property. Growing up in the country with horses and guns made the transition to an author of the Old West an effortless journey. Some say Ash Lingam is the fastest writer in the West. Ash says; When inspiration hits me, from when I open my eyes in the morning until I fall asleep at night, I let my fingers dance across the keyboards, anxious to see what will happen next in the story in my mind’s eye.
