Produktbeschreibung

It's 1901 and the new century abounds with dynamic change. The United States emerged victorious in the Spanish-American War to become a world power. New corporations command the developing industrial economy. Advancements in science, technology and transportation flourish. Progress in steel production, electric power and petroleum refinement is increasing. A full-scale oil boom started in Texas with the largest ever oil strike at Spindletop field. In New Mexico, a territory since 1850, the federal government continues to deny statehood. In Santa Fe, a police force, the New Mexico Rangers is being created. At this time, Adobe Centori arrives in New Mexico and starts the Circle C Ranch. Although change defines the new century, some things remain the same -- including criminal behavior. In this prequel to Statehood of Affairs, the corrupt Valtura Ring has engaged in accelerated attacks on the Circle C and is determined to take or destroy the ranch for mysterious reasons. Centori leads the Circle C riders in investigating the mystery and in a high-stakes battle. This fast-paced story, with colorful narrative and historical context, follows Centori's action-packed collision with the dark side of human nature.
