It’s been three years since Lee Harden emerged from his bunker into a world gone mad. Governments have fallen. And new ones have taken their place. In the United Eastern States, Lee and his team of battle-hardened operatives walk a tightrope of survival, keeping 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--and leaves Lee barely clinging to life... moreIt’s been three years since Lee Harden emerged from his bunker into a world gone mad. Governments have fallen. And new ones have taken their place. In the United Eastern States, Lee and his team of battle-hardened operatives walk a tightrope of survival, keeping 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--and leaves Lee 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 spreading out of the south--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? Reintroducing one of the most beloved heroes in post-apocalyptic fiction, HARDEN immerses you in a reality of desperate gambits, where wrong moves could cost the lives of thousands, but saving them could cost your humanity. The only rule is NEVER STOP FIGHTING. less

But Tex's methods raise serious questions, and Lee quickly discovers that Texas has its own set of problems.

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.

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... moreThey're called Mr. No One and Mr. Nobody, and wherever they go, death follows. Lee Harden is out for blood.

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. In this thrilling and gritty third installment to the Lee Harden Series, the only thing you can be certain of is that things are about to change. less
