He was never one to back down from a fight, even when the odds were impossible. These are dark days for Sam Houston and the Texas Revolution. The Alamo has fallen, its defenders slaughtered to the last man. Goliad is lost too, four hundred men butchered after they surrendered. Texas is a land of rumor and chaos, and Houston, now general of the army of the new Republic, commands a ragtag force on the brink of mutiny. His strategy-an endless retreat through mud and misery-is as unpopular with his men as it is with the politicians who question his every move. But Houston knows what they don't: survival is victory, for now. He will bide his time, shape his army from raw frontier men, and wait for the moment to strike back. From the wreckage of his past-a disgraced Tennessee governor, a man haunted by scandal and heartbreak-Houston rises once more, older but as headstrong as ever, ready to gamble everything on one desperate battle at San Jacinto.
