The Invasion of Texas-1915!
In Europe, men were dying in trenches. In Washington, sentiment was growing for war against the Kaiser. And in Mexico, an explosive plot was set in motion by a German agent, a deposed dictator, and an army of murderous rebels. Amidst the chaos of Pancho Villa's revolution, a force of embittered Tejanos has crossed the Rio Grande, burning ranches, killing Texans, and gathering fighters in its wake. For the Germans, the goal was to paralyze America. For a daring Special Agent and a Texas Ranger, the mission was to go deep behind enemy lines and cut out the heart of an astounding conspiracy-before the West was drawn into a bloody war of its own...
Based on actual historical events, The Warlords is an epic adventure from our finest chronicler of the American frontier.

"Braun tackles the big men, the complex personalities of those brave few who were pivotal figures in the settling of an untamed frontier."-Jory Sherman, author of Grass Kingdom

About the Author
Matt Braun is a fourth-generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time. Raised among the Cherokee and Osage tribes, Braun learned their traditions and culture, and their philosophy became the foundation of his own beliefs. Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wandering the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his contribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the Governor of Oklahoma as a Territorial Marshal.
Braun is the author of more than forty novels and four nonfiction works, including Black Fox, which was made into a CBS miniseries, and One Last Town, which was made into a TNT movie called You Know My Name. Western Writers of America awarded Braun the prestigious Golden Spur Award for The Kincaids. He is also the recipient of the Cowboy Spirit Award and was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1999.Visit his website at www.mattbraun.com.
