Silverhorn: Texas Ranger: A Novel of the Old West

From ‘Big’ Jim Williams comes “ Texas Ranger” containing two of his most popular Texas Ranger novels. Ride with a tough Texan Ranger, ready your gun and ride like hell as you mount up to hit the trails with Jake Silverhorn.In the first book, “Border Justice,” young Texas Ranger Jake Silverhorn, a Civil War Union veteran, joins Captain Ash Rollins and other ex-Confederates seeking BORDER JUSTICE when entering Mexico to recapture stolen cattle from Delgado, an outlaw killer and kidnapper. On the way there, they hang an escaped killer, face an Apache attack, rainstorms and shootouts, and a cattle baron with more illegitimate children than his crazy nude wife (while holding a pistol to his head) can stand. Also tales of a “stuffed” Ranger mounted in a saloon, legendary Texas Ranger “Bigfoot” Wallace, Jake’s romance with a dying Civil War nurse, a slave’s escape north, and a humpbacked old man whose shotgun keeps a thirsty Jake from a trickling stream called DIME CRICK. There’s Lonnie, a young, bumbling Ranger who breaks his leg and is captured by the border bandits, and harmonica-playing Yancy, a Ranger and ex-soldier of the South who hates “Lincoln’s War of Northern Aggression” and needles Jake for his Yankee past. The novel ends as Jake and a beautiful young kidnapped woman escape the border bandits and Mexican cavalry in a deadly gun battle, crossing the storm-swollen Rio Grande back into Texas.In the second book, “Texas Justice,” Chester Fickle, a big redheaded killer called Beaver, leads Jake Silverhorn and fellow Texas Rangers, including Captain Ash Rollins, across snow-deep, post-war action in TEXAS JUSTICE, the long-awaited second book in Big Jim Williams’ exciting Ranger series. The sequel--packed with action and humor--leads to a town hermit and Red Light ghost, devastating fires, gunfights, bank robberies, Old West characters, and palm-sweating Jake forced to deliver a baby for a snow-stranded woman before escaping a possible shotgun marriage to a strange family’s buxom daughter. And there’s bickering about the late Civil War when Captain Rollins constantly refights the Confederate cause with a reluctant Jake, a Yankee veteran. The long outlaw chase--often in blizzards--ends with flying bullets and a surprise twist.Grab your copy today and start hitting the trails hunting down villains, outlaws and those who seek to destroy America.
