The Last-Chancers
Description
A battle to decide the fate of Mexican Texas...and Rory MacHugh finds himself stuck in the middle of it.
Arriving in Texas with hopes of spending the remainder of his middle years in a life of domestic bliss, Rory MacHugh believes he's found the perfect place to settle down with the lovely Emily West, best known as The Yellow Rose of Texas. But in the wild west, things aren't so simple.
When a dangerous enemy from MacHugh's past returns determined for revenge, Rory's dreams of a quiet life are soon shattered. As trouble brews on the horizon for Texas, and his best attempts to stay neutral are thwarted, MacHugh, Emily, and their unlikely ally, Swampy, find themselves thrown head-first into the Texicans revolt.
With the cold-hearted Mexican dictator Santa Anna determined to crush the revolt and bring the region back under his control, the struggle for Texas culminates in the siege of The Alamo - a battle which will determine the fate of Mexican Texas. Embroiled with a group of other legendary Last-Chancers, including Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett, MacHugh must use all of his wits if he wants to stay alive...
