Texas 1866: Burrell's Bloodright
(2026)(The fifth book in the Elias Burrell series)
A novel by Robert Hanlon
Six weeks ago, Lugo Varela rode south carrying a federal writ and a legal claim that could change the future of an entire region. He never came back.
The Slash B Ranch is finally beginning to recover from war, corruption, and bloodshed when silence arrives from the Nueces Strip. Lugo is not a man who disappears. When every courier route goes quiet and every expected message fails to arrive, Elias Burrell reaches the only conclusion that matters: something has gone wrong. Leaving the fragile stability of the ranch behind, he gathers Boone Elwood and Bose for a desperate ride into one of the harshest regions in Texas.
Far to the south, Lugo is still fighting. Wounded, outnumbered, and hunted across canyon country by the powerful Cross-Iron outfit, he wages a relentless one-man campaign against men determined to seize control of land, water, and property through intimidation and force. Every stolen herd, every sabotaged operation, and every vanished tracker deepens the conflict, drawing the attention of powerful interests that cannot afford to let him succeed.
As Elias and his companions push across the vast expanse of the Nueces Strip, they discover a campaign far larger than a missing man. Sharecroppers are being threatened from their land. Water sources are controlled by force. Entire communities live under the shadow of a growing empire built on fear, paperwork, and carefully applied violence. To find Lugo, they must first penetrate a hostile territory where every rider may be a scout and every settlement may already belong to the enemy.
Packed with frontier action, hard-earned loyalty, dangerous wilderness travel, and the sweeping Western adventure that defines the series, this gripping novel follows a band of determined allies into the heart of a land war where friendship is tested, families are threatened, and one missing vaquero may hold the key to stopping a powerful syndicate before it tightens its grip on the Texas frontier.
Genre: Western
