They took everything -- killed his wife, enslaved his daughter, destroyed his life. Now he's a man with nothing left to lose…and that's what makes him so dangerous.

Ten years after the collapse, Huxley had built a good life again. He had a loving wife, a farm with fields of golden barley, and a daughter with a strange and wonderful gift. Then the slavers came. Working out in the fields during the attack, Huxley returns too late. His daughter has been taken and his wife is bleeding out, her last whispered words about a man with a scorpion tattoo on his neck.

Where do the slavers go? Huxley has no idea. He only knows that they headed east and so will he, setting out on foot across the desert of the Wastelands. Eighteen months into his journey, he has no hope of ever seeing his daughter alive. Dying of thirst in the open desert, he doesn't even expect to see another day.

Then a man appears out of the desert and offers Huxley water from his canteen, an unheard of kindness in these savage times. Jay is an odd man, full of violence and guided by his hatred of the slavers, but he helps Huxley survive. And he gives Huxley a new purpose: nothing can bring back the dead, but we can chase down the slavers and make them bleed.

Together, Huxley and Jay carve a path of destruction across the remains of a once-great land. The slavers are brutal, but they have no idea what's coming for them. Huxley has found something to live for again: blood and vengeance.

Aubrey St. James is in trouble. She's locked in a cell at a government black site. She doesn't know where that site is or how the hell she got there. But she knows that it has something to do with the stranger she rescued from the river. Someone - or something - called Johnny.

Saul Tarson knows that the thing he's locked up is dangerous, because it left a trail of six dead cops in its wake, all killed in a way that defies explanation. It is Saul's sworn duty to get to the truth about Johnny before more people die - a lot more.

Two young boys set off for the Rocky River Bridge through their war-torn North Carolina hometown, both with something to prove - an adventure that will quickly teach them the realities of the raging world around them, in this prequel to DJ Molles' newest novel: The Purge of District 89.

Keep your head down. Do what you’re told. It’s easier that way.

Walter Lawrence Baucom is used to the troops that patrol Agrarian District 89. He grew up with the sight of Chinese and Russian soldiers, right alongside the American ones. They are the Coalition. “The Three Brothers,” they call themselves. They claim that they are there to help. And he thinks that if he doesn’t rock the boat, then they will never have a reason to break in his door and disappear him, like they did to his brother.

But when a Chinese captain is kidnapped by resistance members, Walter is suddenly thrust into a fight he never wanted. A fight where there are many sides, but very few allies.

As things in District 89 quickly spiral out of control and the borders are closed by Coalition troops, Walter will have to make a decision:

What is he willing to fight for? His life? His freedom? His family?

The nation is a powder keg, and Walter Baucom is striking sparks.

Resistance factions are feuding, and the Coalition will stop at nothing to track them all down and wipe them off the face of the earth.

But Carolyn is not the only one trying to find Walter.

And he has the means. Because he has Walter's brother.

It’s been three years since Lee Harden emerged from his bunker into a world gone mad.

In the United Eastern States, Lee and his team of battle-hardened operatives walk a tightrope of survival. Their goal: To keep their fledgling society safe from the creatures beyond their gates and from the enemies within.

Then, an ambush in hostile territory reveals a traitor in their midst.

Lee is left barely clinging to life.

Wounded and on the run, Lee and his team race to uncover the leak before it’s too late.

Through a background of destruction, betrayal, and newly-evolved apex predators, they must stay one step ahead of a ruthless organization heading their way…an organization that has allied with someone who wants Lee dead, and the United Eastern States demolished.

But how do you stay ahead of an enemy that knows every move you make?

THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

After being sequestered to a bunker to recover from his wounds, Lee Harden is finally going topside with his fellow Project Hometown Coordinator, Terrence "Tex" Lehy. Lee wants to ally the UES with Texas, in order to combat the threat of a powerful oil cartel to the south. But Tex's methods raise serious questions, and Lee quickly discovers that Texas has its own set of problems.

In the Fort Bragg Safe Zone, the conflict with the Lincolnists is rapidly escalating. Master Sergeant Carl Gilliard has just returned, and he’s intent on destroying the Lincolnists, using whatever means is necessary. Angela is caught in the middle, unable to reconcile her sense of civil morality with her desire for justice.

One thing remains certain: before there is peace, there will be blood.

They're called Mr. No One and Mr. Nobody, and wherever they go, death follows.

Lee Harden is out for blood.

After a month, the cartel is looking over their shoulders and jumping at shadows, worried about the madmen in their backyard, who seem obsessed with little else but killing cartel members. Lee continues to claw his way towards revenge, searching for a target to strike at, or a person to destroy, that will force his enemies to reveal themselves. And nothing is going to stop him. Not even Abe.

In the United Eastern States, things are crumbling around Angela. Safe Zones are dropping out of communication, and no one seems to have any faith in her since the fall of Fort Bragg. Carl Gilliard's methods of purging the dissenters grow harsher and harsher, and Angela is forced to run interference for him, denying allegations of misconduct. She needs to get them back to Fort Bragg, to show that they aren't losing this war. But she's not sure they can get there before everything falls apart.

Working fast--and sometimes unsafely--to secure the route back to Fort Bragg, Sam Ryder and his squad make a grim discovery that might be the start of an evolutionary jump for the primals--and a threat to the survival of the human race.

Don't ever let it break you.

The United Eastern States is crumbling.

The fragile house of cards that Lee Harden and Angela Houston have built has begun to fall. Lee is up against a ticking clock, as he is recalled from Texas and given the last thing in the world that he wants: a promotion.

Forced into a command role, Major Harden is thrust into a sharp learning curve that goes against every instinct he's developed over years of fighting.

While Lee races to find his footing in a mire of shifting loyalties and opposing goals, Safe Zones are being overrun by massive hordes of primals exhibiting strange behaviors and uncanny levels of intelligence, and Greeley is moving towards an invasion of the UES.

The envoys from Canada and the United Kingdom know it--but they're refusing to take sides and give Lee the intelligence he desperately needs. As the tides of war reach the doors of the UES, horrific secrets are revealed that will change the future of their fight for survival.

Friends become enemies, and enemies become allies.

But no matter what happens, no matter what--or who--he loses, Lee can't let it break him.

He must remain defiant to the last.

Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed.

The United Eastern States has fallen.

Lee Harden and a band of survivors have escaped President Briggs's invasion force. Their only options are to attack Briggs while his forces are delayed on the east coast...or admit that they've been beaten, and go into hiding. For Lee Harden, the decision seems obvious.

Greeley, Colorado lies before him. Griffin’s army presses at his back.

Lee Harden is out of options, and out of time.

Inside the city, Sam Ryder is trapped behind enemy lines, and Acting President Briggs still maintains his stranglehold on the country - and Lee’s destiny.

Choices. We are made by choices. And they make us. Choices are being made by every individual swept up in this conflict. Abby - Sam - Abe - Brinly - Angela - all of them making choices, with irreversible consequences.

And all of those consequences fall on Lee.

As Lee fights to adapt and maintain control amid the chaos of a city under siege, all of those choices will reach their terminus in this explosive conclusion to the Lee Harden series.

Their honor will be bought in blood and pain.

The Camp Ryder Hub is broken. Lee is nowhere to be found, and his allies are scattered across the state, each of them learning that their missions will not be as easy as they thought.

But this war will not remain silent for long. And in this savage world, everyone will have to make a choice.

To keep their morals. Or keep their lives.
