"The Savage Breed" unfolds with a rush in a time and place rarely visited by the average western writer.  Young veterans of the Lone Star's battle for Independence, Travis Ross and Chase McAlister, are now ten years older. But as Texas Rangers they still ride headlong into any sort of trouble. In their case, it's the engulfing red storm of the Mexican War.  Though valiantly serving as Indian fighting scouts for Generals Scott and Taylor each "Texican" has his own campaign to wage and win.  Travis desperately seeks the beautiful but unpredictable Mercedes Rayo that he'd loved and lost, while Chase doggedly hunts for the murderous half-Comanche, half-Apache Chieftain Little Face, who tortured and killed his parents fifteen years before.
