Samenvatting
The story continues from Book 1, Treasures of the Pimeria Alta. The setting is 1887 in the Arizona territorial town of Harshaw near the Mexican border. The old timer, Jack McAllister, finds himself recovering from a serious beating doled out behind the Durazno Bar after a winter afternoon of drinking and playing poker. Later, Jack learns that his old friend, Marco Vasquez, is in town to help him retrieve the "Escondida Treasure" they left hidden for themselves in the Patagonia Mountains 34 years earlier. He and Marco return to Jack's secret camp hidden deep in the mountains to recover their huge treasure of Spanish gold and silver. There gun battles erupted and the hand of fate awaits them. Book 2, At the Saber's Edge, also deals with an earlier part of Jack's life. During this time he finds himself dangerously entangled in two wars, the American Civil War and the French invasion of Mexico. Jack is asked by his politically powerful Southern family to help them during the Civil War. In addition to being a successful mining engineer and an extremely wealthy Mexican businessman with large holdings in England, Jack becomes an arms dealer for the South. He is well connected and deals directly with Jeff Davis, President of the Confederacy, members of the House of Commons in England, and with Benito Juarez, President of Mexico. Jack's bold moves in England also instigates a meeting with Prime Minister Lord Palmerston and Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. Jack's exciting life is filled with intense action, unexpected turns, politics at the highest levels, humor and tragedy.
