Fiction
An epic that spans a crucial period of American westward
expansion, Not Between Brothers is the bloody and gripping
tale of the birth of the Lone Star State. Comprising a large
cast of characters that includes memorable historical
figures such as Stephen Austin and Sam Houston, the novel
unfolds through the eyes and experience of Remy Fuqua, an
orphan whose understanding of his fellow man is almost as
great as his predilection for battle and his fierce national
pride. When he marries a well-born Tejana, Beatriz Amarante
de la Cruz, Fuqua is tempted to abandon the world he comes
from until a tragic loss catapults him straight to the front
lines in the battle for Texan independence-the landmark
battle of San Jacinto. Not Between Brothers is also the story of the fearless
Comanche warrior Kills White Bear, whose distrust of the
white man turns to enmity when a virulent smallpox plague
brought by white traders wipes out his family and decimates
his people. His vendetta eventually and inexorably makes
Remy his greatest enemy. As the two men stalk each other
across the Texas prairie, their struggle pits nation against
nation, husband against wife and, unforgettably, brother
against brother.
