Down Mexico Way

In the seven years since he was stranded in 1836 in the body of William Barret Travis, Will Travers has managed to win Texas independence without the costly massacres he recalled from his own history and forge a peace treaty with the Comanche. As 1843 dawns he faces his greatest challenge yet. Mexico has renewed its war of reconquest. A new general is in charge of Mexico’s army, bringing new strategies to blunt Will’s modern tactics and superior weapons. To counter this new threat, thousands of men from towns and farms across the Republic of Texas volunteer to defend their hard-earned freedom. Although heartened by this display of patriotism, Will knows a war of attrition favors Mexico and will destroy the fragile Republic. He turns to a few resourceful men to devise new weapons. Even that won't be enough. He must also find a way to out-think his wily adversary if he wishes to save everything he’s worked so hard to build.

Good tone. To keep my interest

The story flow was good. It could have a list of characters in the forward how each fit into the storyline

Nice history.

Interesting and thought provoking. Believable approach to alternate history. Of course you have to have strange precipitating cause.

AI voice not too bad. Just glad to get the next book in the series.

This book mostly focuses on the war with Mexico. The beating of Santa Ana and different military forces. Texas conquering Arizona, New Mexico, and part of California.
