The America Rising Series
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Legion of the Damned novels, and The Mutant Files, comes a post-apocalyptic military science fiction series about America rising from the ashes of a global catastrophe...
On May Day, 2018, sixty meteors enter Earth’s atmosphere and each explodes with a force greater than a nuclear blast. Earthquakes and tsunamis follow. Then China attacks Europe, Asia, and the United States in the mistaken belief that the disaster is an act of war.
The United States government is decimated when a meteor strikes Washington D.C. That leaves surviving elements of the armed forces to try and restore order, but they’re badly outnumbered, and some military personnel go rogue.
Now, as civilians battle the military for scarce resources, a group of wealthy individuals attempts to create a self-serving government based on Libertarian principles. They call it The New Confederacy--and that’s when the second Civil War begins.
As people across the country struggle to survive the after effects of more than a dozen meteor strikes, a group of wealthy individuals conspire to rebuild the country as a corporate entity called the New Confederacy. And, as Union president Samuel T. Sloan battles to stop them, the 2nd Civil War rages on.
Meanwhile army Captain Robin “Mac” Macintyre is sent after the ruthless “Warlord of Warlords,” an ex-green beret who rules a large swath of the west, and is receiving military assistance from Mac’s sister, Confederate Major Victoria Macintyre.
Unfortunately Mac’s successes on the battlefield aren’t enough to prevent her from being court martialed for disobeying an order, and even though Mac and the president feel drawn to each other, circumstances repeatedly force them apart.
Eventually, in the war torn streets of New Orleans, the two sisters will come together. Only one of them will walk away.
The second Civil War continues to rage as Union President Samuel T. Sloan battles to keep America whole, and more than that, to restore the country to its former greatness.
“Wanted Dead or Alive.” Following a fateful battle with her sister, the New Confederacy places a price on Union Army Captain Robin "Mac" Macintyre's head, and bounty hunters are on her trail.
But there’s work to be done, and Mac is determined to help Sloan reunify the country by freeing hundreds of Union POWs from appalling conditions in Mexico, and capturing a strategic oil reserve that lies deep inside confederate territory.
However to truly have peace it will be necessary to capture or kill the New Confederacy's leadership, and that includes Mac's father, General Bo Macintyre.
