Synopsis

With fast paced action and adventure on every page, 'TEXAS RISING'  is a fictional thriller torn from the headlines of today that will have you on the edge of your seat until the end.

Consider the state of the Union in our present day, and then consider how much worse it could be with a dictatorial President at the helm, one who does not share the values of the patriotic American people. In 'TEXAS RISING' such a scenario plays out, leading to martial law, suspension of the general elections, and an uprising in the Western United States. Eventually, war is declared, and the President brings the United Nations forces in to crush the rebellion.

The hope of Texas is placed in the newly sworn in Governor of the state, but is he the man that can lead the newly formed Republic of Texas to victory?

About the Author

W.W. Brock has been hunting and fishing the wilderness areas of the United States for over sixty years. A strongly committed Christian, he is also a United States Navy Veteran of the Viet Nam era and an avid outdoors man. W.W. has run charter and commercial fishing vessels off of the coast of South Carolina, and worked oil field crew boats in the Gulf of Mexico. Retired and currently living in Kentucky when he is not traveling, his heart is in the Texas southwest where he recently lived.

From the Inside Flap

Late in an election year marked by national turmoil, the President of the United States has declared martial law and suspended the presidential elections in the wake of violent anti-police rallies that are sweeping the nation, rallies that have been largely co-opted by radical Islamist immigrants. When Texas and several neighboring states refuse to enforce martial law, the President orders the military to intervene, but that order is largely ignored, forcing him to turn to the United Nations for help.

Now under the imminent threat of United Nations' troops setting foot on the hallowed ground of Texas, newly appointed Texas Governor Jebediah Atkins signs papers for secession, and puts the Texas Guard on war ready status before being flown to a secret command center deep in the south Texas desert region.

Into the middle of the conflict, which promises to be long and bloody, ride twenty old cowboys,led by Captains John Post and Luke Moffett. Tasked with patrolling the sparsely populated regions of southwest Texas on horseback to ferret out any clandestine enemy activity, they are unaware of the consequences of what promised at first to be an assignment to keep them safe.

With fast paced action and adventure on every page, 'TEXAS RISING' is a fictional thriller torn from the headlines of today, that will have you on the edge of your seat until the end.
