Winner of the Caughey Western History Prize Winner of the Robert G. Athearn Award Winner of the Lawrence W. Levine Award Winner of the TCU Texas Book Award Winner of the NACCS Tejas Foco Nonfiction Book Award Winner of the María Elena Martínez Prize Frederick Jackson Turner Award Finalist “A page-turner...Haunting...Bravely and convincingly urges us to think differently about Texas’s past.” —Texas Monthly Between 1910 and 1920, self-appointed protectors of the Texas–Mexico border—including members of the famed Texas Rangers—murdered hundreds of ethnic Mexicans living in Texas, many of whom were American citizens. Operating in remote rural areas, officers and vigilantes knew they could hang, shoot, burn, and beat victims to death without scrutiny. A culture of impunity prevailed. The abuses were so pervasive that in 1919 the Texas legislature investigated the charges and uncovered a clear pattern of state crime. Records of the proceedings were soon filed away as the Ranger myth flourished. A groundbreaking work of historical reconstruction, The Injustice Never Leaves You has upended Texas’s sense of its own history. A timely reminder of the dark side of American justice, it is a riveting story of race, power, and prejudice on the border. “It’s an apt moment for this book’s hard lessons...to go mainstream.” —Texas Observer “A reminder that government brutality on the border is nothing new.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger was dispatched to seize two high-profile lieutenants of a Somali warlord. Special Forces troops were transported by ground vehicles and helicopters, and the mission was meant to be over within the hour. They quickly found themselves under heavy fire, and two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. With a hastily organized relief column many hours away, the American troops faced a desperate battle for survival. Focusing on the stories of the soldiers on the ground, and in the air, Day of the Rangers reveals the experiences and recollections of the Special Forces units, including the Rangers, Delta operators and Nightstalker crews who fought in the battle of Mogadishu. Published to mark the battle's 25th anniversary and using recently declassified documents and new interviews with many of the participants, Day of the Rangers is a fascinating and revealing new history of a battle that would influence American Special Forces for decades to come.

The blackest of ancient cabals comes into collision with the rebirth of hope in a new science-fiction series by George Wier, the Titan of Texas Fiction: It is a thousand years after the Breakaway War and the fall of the Union on the fringe worlds of human space. While escaping from the Wardens of the Committee, John Hark finds the armored suit of the last Union Ranger, Sam O'Shea, steps inside, and is rocketed into orbit and a universe of adventure. With his new computer program friends, Pry and Bee, John returns to a hidden and ancient Ranger base orbiting his home world's twin binary star, and thus begins his true education. But the armed and armored Wardens, and especially the Watchers—the Wardens' cloaked and hooded counterparts—dominate what remains of the human worlds of the Omicron twin-star system, and they hold the reins to the yoke that keeps mankind from arising out of the ashes of their ancient downfall with the continued plunder and hoarding of all technology. The Committee has become a bloody priesthood, with its foot upon the chest of anyone who would dare rise up, and so John Hark needs help in order to beat them; help that must come from the unlikeliest of quarters—those who have been marked for death! Thus begins the adventure of a lifetime for John and his reborn contingent of Rangers, and against impossible odds. But the heart of the Committee is truly the blackest of hearts, with a startling and ancient secret with its roots in the Breakaway War itself. With not only John Hark's own home world in the crosshairs, but the future of humanity throughout the galaxy hanging in the balance, the reborn Rangers of Company C have little choice but to either win in the end or die trying, with no time for drawing lines in the sand.

This book is a tribute to the rivalry the New York Rangers had with the Boston Bruins during the decade that Emile Francis ran the club. Growing up, these two teams are what defined hockey for me and the team was not simply a city or a sweater or a jersey, it was the players. As Mr. Francis himself told me, "Every time we played it was a war. That was the greatest rivalry I've ever seen." I wrote this book for the fans of both teams, hoping that it would bring back some great memories from a time when the game was a lot different than it is today.

This is the first book in a series of short stories set in an area of the universe inhabited by a race known as the Felmorians. Three stories are included in this edition and together they serve as an introduction to the Alliance and its people. Starting 200 years previously the once great symbols of justice and peace are destroyed allowing two races to seize control of the Alliance Council. Then in the present day the people are subjected to the whims of their tyrannical leaders the Wolvus and Monitres. Though many are unhappy they live in fear of the Sentinels and Dark Guards, the enforcers of the Alliance. In this time period the Rangers are little more than a myth until fate brings together two smugglers, a member of the Resistance and a Dark Guard who by a series of unplanned events bring about a return of four Rangers displaced out of time. Together the eight of them vow to restore freedom to the people by fighting the oppression, and they become the "Last of the Rangers".
