From the New York Times best-selling author of the Legion of the
Damned(R) novels and the Mutant Files series comes the second novel in a
postapocalyptic military science fiction series about America struggling
to overcome a natural disaster but starting a second civil war.
As people fight to survive the aftereffects of more than a dozen meteor
strikes, a group of wealthy individuals conspires to rebuild the United
States as a corporate entity called the New Confederacy, where the
bottom line is law. As a second civil war rages, with families fighting
against families on opposite sides, Union president Samuel T. Sloan
battles to keep the country whole.
To help in the fight for unity, Union Army captain Robin "Mac" Macintyre
and her crew of Stryker vehicles are sent after the ruthless "warlord of
warlords," an ex-Green Beret who rules a large swath of the West. But
defeating him will be even more difficult than she thought. The warlord
is receiving military assistance from Mac's sister - and rival -
Confederate major Victoria Macintyre. And when the siblings come
together in the war-torn streets of New Orleans, only one of them will
walk away.
