Book excerpt: The most untamed and wildest spot in the United States back in 1882 was a stretch of land between the Pecos and Rio Grande rivers. This area of land was beyond the reach of lawmen and the most vicious Outlaws, Comancheros, and renegade Apaches resided there. Two men, Judge Roy Bean and a Texas Ranger named Mason Crenshaw, set out trying to tame this lawless land. Will their efforts succeed, or will this stretch of land always remain lawless? A woman named Casey McRae leaves St. Louis with her father and his new bride to search for treasure rumored to be hidden in an old Spanish mission located in the untamed land west of the Pecos River. Will they find the old Spanish mission and the treasure rumored to be hidden inside it, or will the trials and tribulations they face during their hunt for the treasure get them killed or forever lost in the untamed and lawless area they ventured into? A retired gunfighter named Clint Coon enjoyed working as a blacksmith. He was happy and satisfied with his new profession, but all that changed after he received a letter informing him that his younger sister had been kidnapped and then taken into the lawless land west of the Pecos River. He closes down his Blacksmith Shop and sets out to rescue his sister. Will the retired gunfighter be able to rescue his sister, or will she be trapped for the rest of her life in the lawless land west of the Pecos River? Every one of these characters has different reasons for venturing into The Lawless Land. Will they succeed in their quests, or will they get killed or become forever trapped in the untamed and lawless land west of the Pecos River?
