The book titled Lone Star Justice is a fictional account of the main character, Sam Waters. In the second half of the book, he teams up with Jim Vogt, who is the hero of the book titled Six Gun Justice. Tragedy strikes Sam as a young lad. His sense of duty leads him to become a Texas Ranger. His job requires him to track down a notorious outlaw in the region. Jack Martin leads a gang of outlaws, who wreak havoc against all who come in contact with them. Sam meets up with his blood brother, White Eagle, who has discovered the gangs hideout. They go in separate directions to get help in their efforts to destroy the gang. They rejoin forces and attack the compound. The gang is virtually destroyed, but Martin manages to escape. He flees the area and arrives in Cranston Valley. There he joins forces with an evil rancher and they attempt to take over complete control. Sam follows his trail in an attempt to bring him to justice. Meanwhile the Governor has sent Jim Vogt to the valley to help quell the disturbance. Sam and Jim unite and manage to galvanize the citizens of the valley. They eventually put an end to the terror in the valley. Martin meets Sam in a show down, and the ranger emerges victorious. Jim returns to his ranch and Sam returns to Fielders Crossing, until duty calls again.

From The Lone Ranger to Lonesome Dove, the Texas Rangers have been celebrated in fact and fiction for their daring exploits in bringing justice to the Old West. In Lone Star Justice, best-selling author Robert M. Utley captures the first hundred years of Ranger history, in a narrative packed with adventures worthy of Zane Grey or Larry McMurtry. The Rangers began in the 1820s as loose groups of citizen soldiers, banding together to chase Indians and Mexicans on the raw Texas frontier. Utley shows how, under the leadership of men like Jack Hays and Ben McCulloch, these fiercely independent fighters were transformed into a well-trained, cohesive team. Armed with a revolutionary new weapon, Samuel Colt's repeating revolver, they became a deadly fighting force, whether battling Comanches on the plains or storming the city of Monterey in the Mexican-American War. As the Rangers evolved from part-time warriors to full-time lawmen by 1874, they learned to face new dangers, including homicidal feuds, labor strikes, and vigilantes turned mobs. They battled train robbers, cattle thieves and other outlaws--it was Rangers, for example, who captured John Wesley Hardin, the most feared gunman in the West. Based on exhaustive research in Texas archives, this is the most authoritative history of the Texas Rangers in over half a century. It will stand alongside other classics of Western history by Robert M. Utley--a vivid portrait of the Old West and of the legendary men who kept the law on the lawless frontier.

"Although the west was still wild in 1867, and the frontier completely lawless, in Texas at least there was still some justice left in the world... Even if it was just Lone Star Justice... And justice's name was Captain Hondo Stone." Heroes never quit and never surrender. Sometimes they die, but they don't ever give up. They fight to the bitter end, win or lose, live or die, and they take honor and glory with them. No one could ever ask for more than that. This is a story about heroes. This is a story about Captain Hondo Stone, Texas Ranger, and his best friend and brother-in-arms, Kid Carter. This is the third installment in the continuing tale of Hondo Stone and Kid Carter: two imperfect heroes for an imperfect world, that was suffering an imperfect time in history... The world might deem them as anti-heroes, because they may seem hard to fully understand at times, but all great men of honor usually are... They're complex souls, who may appear to be insufferable to those who don't appreciate the kind of unique lives that they live, but they're also the most tender-hearted of all people to those that they love. For they live lives that are vastly different from what others may deem to be a "normal" or "ordinary" life. But that's what it takes to be the stuff of legend: to be heroes in a world that has grown too cynical to believe in heroes anymore. Picking up right where "Gunfighter's Requiem" left off, "Lone Star Justice" is the exhilarating and much-anticipated continuation of the "Old San Antone Chronicles", which culminates the events of the first two books in an explosion of an exciting action-packed climax that'll thrill you to your very core! For, during the Christmas of 1867, in Old San Antone, there would be no peace on earth, and no good will towards all men... Rather there would be an ominous hell-storm of violence and vengeance unleashed within the city as the final battle between the Texas Rangers and the Jenkins Faction would playout on a fateful morning in which debts would be settled, vendettas would be resolved, lives would be lost, the balance of power would be changed, history would be made, legends would arise, and Lone Star Justice would be served, all by the hands of Captain Hondo Stone. What you must ask yourself is, do you have what it takes to seek out Lone Star Justice alongside Hondo and the Kid? Because if you do, then the greatest story of your life is only a turning of a page away.

"In the annals of law enforcement few groups or agencies have become as encrusted with legend as the Texas Rangers. The always-readable historian Robert Utley has done a thorough job of chipping away these encrustations and revealing the Ranger's rather rag-and-bone, catch-as-catch-can beginning in a time when the Texas frontier was very far from being stable or safe. A fine book."--Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove From The Lone Ranger to Lonesome Dove, the Texas Rangers have been celebrated in fact and fiction for their daring exploits in bringing justice to the Old West. In Lone Star Justice, best-selling author Robert M. Utley captures the first hundred years of Ranger history, in a narrative packed with adventures worthy of Zane Grey or Larry McMurtry.

"A rip-snortin', six-guns-blazin' saga of good guys and bad guys who were sometimes one and the same. By taking on the Texas Rangers, Utley, an accomplished and well-regarded historian of the American West, risks treading on ground that is both hallowed and thoroughly documented. He skirts those issues by turning in a balanced history.... An accessible survey of some interesting--and bloody--times."--Kirkus Reviews

Killing Justice in the Lone Star State is a reality check on active Death Row cases (and some post-execution ones). The book offers a fresh perspective for campaigners and reformers which ranges across theory, policy and practice. It also explains the much criticised Texas ‘law of parties.’ ‘A must read, an excellent new book by Mike O’Brien... A powerful critique... a critical comparative analysis of USA/UK human rights standards. Packed with cases. A compelling case for abolition.’-- Dr Michael Naughton, Bristol University, Empowering the Innocent Project. Many organizations are engaged in a race to prevent the execution of death sentenced prisoners in Texas (and elsewhere in the USA). Some men and women on Death Row claim to be completely innocent as described in this book. Michael O’Brien — who was himself wrongly convicted of murder — dissects cases with the eye of someone who has spent years watching how miscarriages of justice happen and why. He explains how practitioners and others are in denial and tunnel vision helps to sustain politicians, livelihoods and profits that depend on a conveyor belt from the courts to the execution chamber. He describes a killing process aided by bias, discrimination, prejudice, unfair trials, supposed expert evidence and closed minds. This is just one hallmark of a country obsessed with guns, violence and the ultimate penalty. Texas is the most punitive place within one of the harshest penal systems in the world. But no legal system should take away human lives, especially one tarnished by defects of the kind the author sets out in this book. Extract ‘Can you just imagine being an individual who is innocent but facing execution, whether in Texas or elsewhere? Or you were on Death Row but you did not take part in any killings, just got caught up in the hysteria? Can you picture the pressure and abject loneliness of serving 15 years or more, and then the State setting a date to kill you?’
