Mother Nature's fury now threatens the survivor colony in Bandon on the Oregon coast. Through this hellfire, a rescue party, led by Eric 'Fletch' Fletcher, sets out to reach friends trapped and dying near the erupting volcano.
But reaching them is only the beginning of a journey, one driven by duty, that will lead Fletch and his friends to a war-torn city where they come face to face with the nation's leader. Barely escaping the besieged seat of government, they find their way back home to learn that an enemy that they had believed was vanquished has returned.
Setting themselves up for a final battle against a vastly superior foe, sacrifices are inevitable. But even Fletch, who's witnessed the worst that the apocalyptic worldwide blight can bring out in humanity, isn't prepared for the loss he is faced with.
Noah Mann lives in the West and has been involved in personal survival and disaster preparedness for more than two decades. He has extensive training in firearms, as well as urban and wilderness Search & Rescue operations, including tracking and the application of technology in victim searches.
I'm starting to not see where this story is actually going and at times it feels like it has stalled a bit. I don't understand how Captain Angela would have been targeted clear across the country by the president. The explanation as to why she was preferred to other available officers was somewhat weak and not persuadable. Still, I have come to like a lot of these characters and do want to know what happens to them. I hope this series ends on a high note and not a whimper.
This book was the best yet... not only filled with action but also strong character development. By the time I finished this book , I felt I truly knew these individuals, not as characters in a great action book series but as friends and enemies! Cannot wait for the next one!!!
This is great reading for anyone. It is one I have enjoyed and is within my home. I have lived and or vacations in very town on the west coast. It puts me right in the story.
