In the Land of Dead Horses is the story of Texas Ranger Jewel T. Lightfoot's pursuit of a terror from another age, a herald of darkness unearthed from its subterranean crypt in the Chihuahuan Desert and set loose on an unsuspecting world. Lightfoot, a hard-drinking Texas Ranger, is aided by an aging silver miner named Ernesto Zavala and his grandson Antonio, a rangy firebrand who longs to free his people from the rule of Porfirio Diaz's corrupt Mexican government. Together these unlikely heroes face off against a sinister German academic, a trio of religious fanatics who want to restore the glory of the Mayan empire, and a horror from the depths of history that grows stronger with each setting sun. Join Jewel Lightfoot in his desperate bid to save countless lives from a menace no sane man could imagine. But be careful: Not everyone who rides out of Austin in the fall of 1908 is going to come back.
