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.
Bruce McCandless III writes for non-scientists about space exploration and environmental matters. He comes by these interests naturally, having grown up in a family of conservationists in the shadow of NASA in the Apollo years. A Plan II graduate of the University of Texas, he' s published poems, articles, and features in a number of journals and magazines, including The Asian Wall Street Journal, Avenue, HK Magazine, Pleiades, The Seattle Review, Cold Mountain Review, Natural Bridge, Louisiana Literature, New Delta Review, The Naugatuck River Review, The Texas Observer, The Austin Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, and the Austin American-Statesman. When he' s not writing or reading, he' s probably out riding his bike or hiking along Austin' s Barton Creek. You can see some of his work on his website, www. ninthplanetpress. com
