America might be dead, but Nick Angriff will kick your ass to resurrect her. Lt. General Nick Angriff has spent his adult life protecting family and country from a world of terrorism spinning out of control. On the battlefield, off the grid, in clandestine special task forces and outright black ops, Angriff never wavers from duty. But when a terror attack on Lake Tahoe kills his family, he's left with only the corrosive acid of revenge... that is, until a hated superior officer reveals the deepest of all secret operations. Against the day of national collapse, a heavily-armed military unit rests in cryogenic storage, to be awakened when needed, and Angriff is named its commander. Fifty years later he wakes to find the USA destroyed and predatory warlords roaming the ruins. Stalked by assassins bent on seizing his command for their own purposes, Angriff has to prepare for war while avoiding murder. Because the only wall still shielding survivors from slavery and death are the men and women of The Last Brigade.

Fifteen outstanding authors. Fifteen stories about bounty hunters and their bounties!There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.- Hemingway.Bounty hunting is one of those morally gray areas that exist at the periphery of civil society. Few people know anyone whose job it is to find and retrieve fugitives, and bring them before the courts. In the future, however, one can envision any number of ways of how bounty hunting can be used (or abused) for any number of problems. Alien monsters haunting your space station? Bring in a team of hunters, and watch the double-crosses fly. Indentured workers flee 'the system' for the safety and anonymity of the Underhive? Facial recognition and some DNA sampling might help you find them. On the flip side of the coin, what if you were born wanted, and have been on the run your whole life?Edited by Jamie Ibson, We Dare: Wanted, Dead or Alive is a collection of fifteen all-new stories that explore the wheres, the hows, and the whys behind this anti-hero filled profession.Inside, you'll find stories from:Rick Partlow;Quincy J. Allen;A.K. DuBoff;Jason Cordova;Hinkley Correia;Casey Moores;William Alan Webb;Rachel Aukes;Josh Hayes ;Tim C. Taylor ;Matt Novotny;S.C. Jensen;Griffin Barber;Christopher Woods, andJamie Ibson.

How do you stop mindless hate? By any means possible. In near-future America, CIA agent Angela Martinelli faces off against the North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un's plan to bring down the United States. With no thought about how his actions might affect his allies, Kim launched a plan of nuclear and biological terrorism against the United States, and now it's up to America's over-stretched counter terrorist forces to stop the state sponsored terrorism... if they can.The first volume of The Collapse races from crisis to crisis, trailing blood across the globe. From the barbeque pits of Memphis to the deepest vaults of the Pentagon, nobody and nothing is spared. Written by a man who investigated and planned for the very threats Martinelli fights to prevent, the driving force behind this relentlessly suspenseful thriller brings a realism that is terrifying because it is all too possible. Fans of William Alan Webb's Last Brigade series may think they know what's coming, but don't count on it.

A Near-Future Thriller

Sowing Chaos

Their enemies on Earth feared them...now it's the Galactic Union's turn!Until the coming of the Galactic Union put them out of business, the Gurkhas were among Earth's fiercest and most successful mercenaries. Now one man-Ganju Limbu-wants to use their heritage of courage and loyalty to bring prosperity to Nepal, and he is one of two men selected to head Mercenary Guild-sanctioned Ghurka mercenary companies.Nothing is ever easy, though, and there are forces-both Human and alien-who don't want to see the Ghurkas succeed, and they will go to great lengths to stop the Ghurka Rifles from ever getting off planet. Other forces hope they do get off planet?so they can take advantage of them.When Limbu and the Rifles take their first contract, everything seems easy-too easy for what they're being paid to do-leaving Limbu to wonder what he isn't being told. Treachery abounds, and the Rifles are on a collision force with an alien army that outnumbers them ten to one, leaving them with only their courage and guile to stave off defeat.For the Ghurkas, though, it's better to die than be defeated, so they will have to come up with a strategy that turns the tables on the enemy, or the Gurkha Rifles' first contract will also be their last!
