Mexico, 1919: The birth of the Mexican drug trade
begins with opium being smuggled across the U.S. border,
igniting an all-out battle with American law enforcement in
general and the Texas Rangers in particular.
The Present: Fifth Generation Texas Ranger Caitlin
Strong and her lover Cort Wesley Masters both survive
terrifying gun battles. But this time, it turns out, the
actual targets were not them, but Masters' teenage sons.
That sets Caitlin and Cort Wesley off on a trail winding
through the past and present with nothing less than the
future of the United States hanging in the balance. Along
the way they will confront terrible truths dating all the
way back to the Mexican Revolution and the dogged battle
Caitlin's own grandfather and great-grandfather fought
against the first generation of Mexican drug dealers.
At the heart of the storm soon to sweep away America as we
know it, lies a mastermind whose abundant power is equaled
only by her thirst for vengeance. Ana Callas Guajardo, the
last surviving member of the family that founded the
Mexican drug trade, has dedicated all of her vast resources
to a plot aimed at the U.S.'s technological heart.
This time out, sabotage proves to be as deadly a weapon as
bombs in a battle Caitlin must win in cyberspace as well.
Her only chance to prevail is to short-circuit a complex
plan based as much on microchips as bullets. Because
there's a strong rain coming and only Caitlin and Cort
Wesley can stop the fall before it's too late.
