When Davy Crockett and his old friend Flavius led a small party of settlers into San Antonio, all he expected was a sleepy Texican town. He didn't realize San Antonio lived in terror of the vicious... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Crockett, Flavius and the small group of people who survived the previous book arrive in San Antonio. As romance blossoms for two of the party Crockett gets his first look at Texas. He likes what he sees until he finds that San Antonio is living in fear. Freebooters terrorize the area, stealing and killing at will. When the bandits kidnap two women Davy and his new Texan friends have no alternative but to go after them. Another hit story in this great series. Another book of none stop action that is one of the trademarks of David Thompson. Brutal at times, funny at others, as the well-drawn characters struggle to survive. The leader of the freebooters, ex-pirate Tar, is a worthy adversary for Crockett. I particularly liked his first appearance with head a-fire. Right from then you just know Davy is in for the fight of his life. All the threads in the tale are tied up by the end as is to be expected of author David Thompson. And Davy's promise to Flavius that they'll definitely head for home after the terrors experienced in Texas just means I've got to read the last book in the series right away to find out if Flavius' wish will come true. Highly recommended.
