The breathtaking conclusion to the historical trilogy by the internationally bestseller Robert Jordan
Never before published in hardcover, this thrilling conclusion to Robert Jordan's acclaimed Fallon trilogy traces the family's fortunes as it expands westward. The Fallon Legacy is a tale of a father and son who never meet but share a destiny.
Like his father and grandfather before him, James Fallon is a man of vision and of iron will. But where his forebears were men of the sea, he is a man of the vast land of northern Mexico -- a land called Texas.
James sets out for Stephen Austin's colony of Americans with dreams of a horse-breeding empire. The land is harsh, and he soon learns that the Fallon past harbors deadly shadows: Cordelia Applegate and Gerard Fourrier. With political influence, hired pistoleros, and Comanche warriors, they seek to destroy all Fallons.
But James has more pressing troubles than this legacy of hatred and revenge. He and the other settlers, including Jim Bowie, Austin, and Sam Houston, are outraged as their property rights come and go with the shifting winds of Mexican politics. Rumors from Mexico City say that Santa Anna will soon be on the march to drive the yanquis out of Mexico, and events are moving swiftly toward a fateful encounter, the most galvanizing event in the history of Texas --

The only thing I have to ask is: WHEN DOES THE MOVIE COME OUT?
The Wheel Of Time movie would make the TITANIC look like the MINNOW!

I've read the Fallon series and the WOT series and couldn't even imagine them being deplored by a movie. Never in my life have I seen a movie that compared to the book. You wanna see a movie, fine, but writing as complicated and intertwined as Jordan's couldn't be put into a movie of any length.

A glimpse into history
27 Nov 1999
Format:Hardcover
The struggles and hardships of the revolutionary period and beyond are masterfully captured between robert jordans bookcovers.A story of a family that stems with importance but not to much to be mentioned in our histroy books, a stragegy thats as complicated to preform, but done so as not to quell the importance of the book.A book so flowing with intrigue and danger, the only dissapointment that it had was that it had to end, or until the sequel arrives which will be waited for inpatiently.

The best of the trilogy
26 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
In the Fallon Legacy, the story concentrates mostly on James Fallon, Robert Fallon's long lost son. The story takes you through James' adventures in the Texas frontier. Amidst much excitment and adventure, Robert Jordan is able to provide the reader with an extraordinary amount of history and culture from the Mexico/Texas region. The characters in this book are awesome. Some of the most loveable and hateable people I have ever read about. The Fourrier family continues to haunt the Fallons all the way up to the last chapter of the trilogy, but the Fallons are once again able to persevere, although with some heart-wrenching losses.

While the adventure and romance of this novel were very entertaining and fun to read, the best thing about the book, and indeed the whole trilogy, is the fresh perspective that it provides on the history and the culture of America 200 years ago. Books like this help to preserve our heritage.

Thoroughly enjoyable
24 Aug 1998
Format:Hardcover
Thoroughly enjoyable historical fiction from the viewpoint of the South. I enjoyed every minute of this series. Read (1) "Fallon Blood," (2)"Fallon Pride" then (3) "Fallon Legacy." I have a new understanding of, and interest in, the birth of our nation. I'm hoping for yet another sequel. I love Robert Jordan, whatever name he uses.
