Distant Land

THREE MEN CONQUERED THE FRONTIER Three Brannock brothers once came west. Now, one of them survives, and Clint Brannock feels the weight of responsibility as he does his job as a U.S. deputy marshal. Hunting down an outlaw in the Indian territories, Clint meets up with two of his nephews-one destined to live or die by the gun, the other to live or die in his shadow. And in Southern New Mexico, a beautiful sister-in-law, Elizabeth, presides over 100,000 rich acres-and dabbles in a dangerous game... ONE MAN IS LEFT TO DEFEND IT... A vigilante named Miguel Ortega is using terror to drive out Anglo settlers. A woman of her own proud heritage, Elizabeth Brannock has a grown son and daughter who each stand to inherit an empire. But she has forged a forbidden bond with Miguel Ortega. With violence spiraling out of control, the government sends Clint Brannock to lay down the law. Soon, every Brannock must take a stand and risk their life--for justice, each other, and the land that is now in their blood...
