Fans of the story will be thrilled to indulge themselves in this sci-fi\/fantasy book which brings to a close the adventure begun back in book one of three. Post apocalyptic submarine captain, Mike Salvo, along with his faithful pit bull, Snappy, and now betrothed partner, May Love, find themselves battling time, the elements, starving Krok addicts and the devotees of a new, cult-like religion. Set in the near future, where 85% of the planet's human and animal populations have been wiped out by H5N1 (bird flu), the book opens with them trying to get their fledgling Trading Post up and running in Old Town, deep in the heart of The Wilting Rose City formerly known as Portland, Oregon. Cannibalistic foes encountered early in the series kidnap the couple's young charge, Imari, intent upon doing the girl horrible wrong. The Gypsy Queen Wyrha is desperately attempting to grow her own drug-addicted family of Krokodil users through the use of music and free product. However, the Artificial Intelligence known only as \"Q\" has expanded its own devious efforts, now lording over \"Revelation Flock\" where food is free to those showing zealous loyalty to the malevolent metal madman first seen in book one. The seven-foot-tall entity has encased itself in latex in hopes of presenting a more acceptable face to starving humankind around the globe, now offering cloned versions of super-science evolved Gorro, (the twenty-five foot iguana) as protein source to a dying planet. Created by the genius, Hershal \"Krick\" Kirschenbaum the creatures thrive with little water and care but will only taste like chicken if you can eat them first! Aided by self-serving General Cularache, this able scientist Krick is now based at \"The Devils Throat\" in Brazil, intent upon distributing the giant reptiles throughout the most densely populated cities remaining on Earth. As Wyrha battles for control of the dark forces surrounding her own gang of Kroks, she must rely upon supernatural assistance from her Gammy and dearly departed Demon Boy Donnie to guide her own ruthless efforts. Q has not forgotten Salvo and his allies, launching a coordinated attack against The Alliant just as they are finding success in re-establishing a civilized society. From its lair within the top-secret former NSA worldwide data collection site in Bluffdale, Utah the devotees of Q use both fire and lead to mount devastating attacks on the metallic demigod's assumed enemies. It will be up to the tiny crew of \"The Jim Duncan\", that repurposed Korean commando submarine, to follow \"The Tang Dynasty\" mega yacht up the mighty Columbia River to Boardman's Umatilla Flat's Chemical Weapons Depot in a race against time! Q's resources now include the surviving satellites of a global network surrounding the Earth to guide killer drones in assassinating Salvo and his heroic team. But Salvo has Diehard Detwich, a former South Afrikaans mercenary on his side, along with an insider who may or may not be trusted. Will any of them survive to witness The Final Remains?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duane Steven Hanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798279366651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.73d","brand":"Duane Steven Hanson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097362211071,"sku":"9798279366651","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salvo-volume-iii-final-remains-duane-steven-hanson-9798279366651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
