And while protagonist Alexandre LaBranche goes about his role unwillingly and often with minimal success -- George Smiley he's not -- readers will root for him with the turn of every page. Award-winning author London's fast-paced tale, set in the infant days of the Texas Republic, has it all -- the troubled young surveyor who's only desire is to chart Texas' southern border, his horse thieving partners, self-serving politicos, vengeful Mexican soldiers, and, for good measure, a moving love story. Saddle up. Dangerous Latitudes is a wild ride.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003e— Carlton Stowers, two-time Edgar Award winner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e   \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Just as in real life, Jack Woodville London's territory in Dangerous Latitudes is a land of spies, rough frontiersmen, Mexican military figures, Indians, and men seeking opportunity, redemption, or both. London has woven a clever spy story with historical events and some of the larger-than-life people who inhabited the Texas-Mexico borderlands to create a colorful novel of the Republic Era.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e —Frank de la Teja, Former Texas State Historian \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eEspionage, Survival, and the Fight for Texas Independence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the author of the French Letters trilogy comes a sweeping historical adventure full of unforgettable Texas legends!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix years after the fall of the Alamo, Mexican armies invade freely across the Rio Grande, and Texas is but one skirmish away from losing its hard-won independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst this backdrop, naÏve surveyor Alexandre LaBranche accepts a dubious commission to map the Rio Grande boundary between Texas and Mexico but soon finds himself far out of his depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaced with exuberant, Texas-sized historical figures such as Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar, and Jack Hays, \u003ci\u003eDangerous Latitudes\u003c\/i\u003e is a quest across a war-torn frontier that becomes a race to save two hundred captured Texans who the Mexican army has marked for death.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Stoney Creek Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52653103448344,"sku":"9798990128965","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dangerous-latitudes-paperback-softback-9798990128965","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
