Synopsis

TEXAS EMPIRE
MATT BRAUN

Jack Jordan, an Indian fighter turned trailblazer and cattleman, is willing to risk it all for a spread of Texas land in the uncharted Llano Estacado—and for the adventure of a lifetime.

Already a legend before turning thirty years old, Jordan's greatest quest still lies ahead. In a breathtaking canyon called Palo Duro, Jordan is about to make an extraordinary stand with a herd of cattle, a courageous woman, a fast gun—and a vision that won't die.
