The Raiders: Sons of Texas

The Lewis family Western saga continues as brothers face threats from Mexican authorities, hostile Indians, and a deadly blood feud. "Elmer Kelton, a wily old cloudburst, imbues his Westerns with ancient myths and modern motifs that transcend cowboys and cattle trails." —The Dallas Morning News Ten years have passed sine Michael Lewis made his first venture into Texas, now a province of Mexico. Together with a small number of Americans pioneering on the Brazos and Colorado Rivers, Michael and his brother Andrew, each have a plot of land assigned to them by the entrepreneur Stephen F. Austin. To secure their places in their newfound lands in Texas, the Lewis boys have to fight not only Mexican authorities and hostile Indians, but their own kind—renegade white men attempting to settle on Texas land without permission or authority. In The Raiders, Elmer Kelton continues hi sage of the Lewis family and the formative years of Texas, a series, said Booklist, "that brings to mind L'Amour's multigenerational Sackett Family saga. . . . Readers will eagerly anticipate the next entry in the series."
