Publisher's Summary:

Mexico, 1910. The landscape pulses with the force of the upcoming revolution, an atmosphere rich in opportunity for a criminal such as Rawbone. His fortune arrives across the haze of the Sierra Blanca in the form of a truck loaded with weapons.

But Rawbone's plan spins against him, and he soon finds himself at the Mexican-American border and in the hands of the Bureau of Investigation. He is offered a chance for immunity, but only if he agrees to proceed with his scheme to deliver the truck and its goods to the Mexican oil fields while under the command of Agent John Lourdes.

Rawbone sees no other option and agrees to the deal - but he fails to recognize the true identity of Agent Lourdes, a man from deep within his past.

Set againsta backdrop of intrigue and corruption, The Creed of Violence is a saga about the scars of abandonment, the greed of war, and America's history of foreign intervention for the sake of oil.

Hard to put down

As much as I found some of the more self-conscious word choices and obvious relevance to contemporary politics sometimes distracting, I must admit I found this book quite riveting. The characters are engaging and often surprising and--as you might expect from the title--the violence is graphic. There is an almost Tarantino-esque, cinematic quality to this novel. It's dark but definitely not without humor. I immediately started it again after I finished it which I usually only do with a good movie.

A GREAT BOOK

This is the 4th book by Boston Teran I have read. They are all different. They are all compelling and extremely well-written. I wasn't sure about "Creed of Violence" at first, but I became so enamored with the two main characters, the way they are connected and the narrative. It has strains of Sinclair Lewis and Cormac McCarthy while maintaining its own unique voice. The story and the characters resonate well after finishing it. I highly recommend it.

Excellent well written read

Well written, plausible background and characters in keeping with the demands made of them. The now typical policy of deniability by Washington is well on display.

Creed of Violence Makes Me Want to read all of Teran's earlier work!!

I bought this book because I thought the cover was very hip and I am a big fan of the era. I had no idea the book would be that good. The story is pretty well detailed in the outline on Amazon so I won't go there. I will only tell you I was absolutely drawn in, not only was it thrilling - I read the book in one night - but the details of the era blew me away. I would be reading and say " that can't be true" then I did research on the internet and - it was true. This book is a whole new take on literary/historical fiction. I give it the highest rating.

Very good western

Rawbone is an enthralling character and worth the read alone. He carries much of the story. A few things were cliche, but overall this a great novel. One of the better novels I've read over the recent years.
