The Ashes of the Unknown: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798354089734)

He came home to a town in turmoil...

....and a brother he thought he'd lost forever.

But like an EMP strike, family ties wield immeasurable power.

Cody Banks destroyed his life before enlisting in the Marines. But tough decisions in America drained the military's resources, leaving the nation vulnerable to attack. When Cody's detachment returns to a powerless country, he finds himself steeped in the blood of a brand new war. His enemies are swift, brutal, and at times, scattered, but to get back to Burning Hollow, he must crawl through the middle of hell.

The battle for freedom is just beginning.

With casualties mounting and parts of the holler in ruin, the tides of power shift once more, ushering in an unexpected horror: enemies posing as saviors. The National Guard has shown up in Burning Hollow, but are they friend or foe? While Rowdy and Taylor fight to keep their family together, the cartel descends on the small town with a new, more terrifying agenda in place. But vengeance is a cruel mistress that cuts both ways, and not everyone will survive Pablo Santiago's wrath.
Who will defend Burning Hollow from its many enemies?

With unknown forces at war around them, and bad factions posing as good, how can normal citizens tell friend from enemy? If the town is to survive a vindictive brother, a bloodthirsty cartel, a skilled vigilante, and an encroaching army, they must form a stronghold able to withstand asymmetric warfare and sabotage. But is this a case of too little too late? Or do they have a fighting chance?

Will there even be an America left standing at the end of this war?

Will an EMP strike and a collapsed society deliver a fatal blow to Burning Hollow? Or will its citizens dig in, protect their homesteads, and safeguard the community? With enemies everywhere, and a full-scale apocalypse on the horizon, will they have what it takes to survive? Would you?
