In the rugged land of South Texas, Patrick Bailey is building a life with his wife and young son on their ranch by the Silver Creek.

When a Comanche raid shatters their peace, Jamie is forced to grow up fast. Hardened by a trail drive up the Chisholm Trail, he earns a reputation as a young fast gun; a reputation that he does not want. But danger is never far behind; back home, new neighbors arrive - some friendly, others who plan to take over the range by force.

As trouble builds, the fight for Silver Creek begins. Backed by a group of young cowboys, Jamie takes a stand to defend his home. He must rely on his grit and skill to hold the line, but the final showdown will test him to his very core.

A classic western filled with the raw spirit of the frontier, THE BATTLE FOR SILVER CREEK is the eighth book in the Bailey Clan Westerns series by Terence Newnes.
