Brannocks

The Brannock brothers couldn't be more different, but they have one thing in common: the drive to make their dreams come true in the wild and wide-open southwest territory. Virgil Brannock's got plans-big plans: From Washington D.C. to the most desolate reaches of the territory, he'll build a railroad empire with sheer guts, raw ambition, and hot lead... Clint Brannock is a solitary man by nature, but that doesn't stop him from joining up with the Cavalry in a violent charge that will darken the desert sands with blood... Earl Brannock lives by no law but his own-until he finds a new code of honor with the Comanches. But will his brotherhood with that fierce, proud tribe put him at odds with his blood kin? Now, on a harsh frontier where weakness equals death, three brothers will cross paths once more-and three men's conflicts will come to a head as a new page in history is written amidst greed, gunfire, and the quest for glory...

In a land of long red sunsets, Clint and Virgil Brannock had carved out a sweeping cattle spread along the lush banks of the Rio Hondo. But now, Clint has been called away to fight in the Apache wars, and Virgil, driven by his ambition, is corralling mustangs on the Llando Estscado. With their family ranch in New Mexico, territory threatened by men of greed and power, men who send murderers to do their dirty work, the Brannocks can only turn to one another-to hold onto an empire they have built with their sweat and blood.

THREE MEN CONQUERED THE FRONTIER Three Brannock brothers once came West. Now, one of them survives, and Clint Brannock feels the weight of responsibility as he does his job as a U.S. deputy marshal. Hunting down an outlaw in the Indian territories, Clint meets up with two of his nephews-one destined to live or die by the gun, the other to live or die in his shadow. And in southern New Mexico, a beautiful sister-in-law, Elizabeth, presides over 100,000 rich acres-and dabbles in a dangerous game... ONE MAN IS LEFT TO DEFEND IT... A vigilante named Miguel Ortega is using terror to drive out Anglo settlers. A woman of her own proud heritage, Elizabeth has a grown son and daughter, each of whom stands to inherit an empire. But she has forged a forbidden bond with Ortega. With violence spiraling out of control, the government sends Clint to lay down the law. Soon, all the Brannocks must take a stand and risk their lives-for justice, each other, and the land that is now in their blood...
