It came upon a midnight clear... In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Texas Ranger Cooper Boone is stuck in the middle of the West Texas badlands. He has a major drug lord in his sights but The Powers That Be have him chasing dust devils instead of criminals. One night, he sees a bright star in the sky and he makes a wish. "If anybody up there's listening..." When four men show up with equipment straight out of ""Star Wars," Coop isn't necessarily buying what they're selling-until an investigative reporter he's taken a personal interest in is kidnapped. Coop knows what he has to do. One riot, one ranger... Can Cooper live up to the legend? With a little help from some out-of-this-world allies, he'll find out. This Christmas novella has a little something for everyone-a smattering of action, a touch romance, a dash of magic, and a pinch of SciFi so all readers can celebrate the season.
