Follow the Setting Sun: More Adventures with the Rangers in Texas, Mexico, and Beyond (A Novel)

Follow is a sequel to Tex Med and continues the saga of a medical student, John McFarland, who meets opportunities and challenges in Texas and elsewhere in the months prior to America's entry into the Great War. His girlfriend, Heather, returns as well as several characters from the first novel. Introduced here are many new fictional characters, including John's cousin, Ted, new Rangers, Native Americans, oil field roustabouts, and bad guys aplenty. New real historical figures are presented who interact with the fictional ones in interesting ways, such as Aimee Semple McPherson, Pancho Villa, Jim Thorpe, D.W. Griffith, and Wyatt Earp. Enjoy. And there's more to come, for a trilogy is planned to tie everything together.
