The hit Commune series is back with book seven! Rejoin some of your old favorites and plenty of unforgettable new ones on another deadly romp through post-apocalyptic America.
Books has settled the Smoky Mountains following the events of the Territory Wars. His freehold doesn't have much worth trading that neighboring settlements need, but he and many other inhabitants don't necessarily consider this a bad thing. The low economic desirability of their freehold is what has allowed them to avoid fighting. The forces of Washington DC under Commodore Antony Kraemer have launched the reclamation of the Reformed United States of America. They've sent envoys to the major freeholders with the message that they are expected to rejoin the union—or else. Most Freeholders see Kraemer as just another warlord, intending to resist with violence. And while Books' new pacifist path may work for him, war is coming.
