Between The Eagles

About the Book

“Between the Eagles” is the beginning of a Texas that might have been, as told through the eyes of a young army officer. Edward Rabb is the youngest son in a family of the first Texas settlers, Austin’s Old Three Hundred, ambitious and eager to find a life beyond the existence on his father’s plantation. The journey takes him through the hardest country in the Republic: old Spanish Missions, the edge of distant settlements, and the rugged deserts of northern Mexico. Assigned to a captain hardened by frontier service and paired with another lieutenant with his own ambitions, Rabb quickly learns that hostile Comanches and a vengeful Mexico are not the only threats he will face. Faced for the first time with life and death decisions, the experience will force him to decide if his life’s ambition is what he expected it to be – or truly wanted.
