When a friend disappears, Skull must track him down. When Spooky's family is sent to a death camp, he proposes a suicidal rescue, and only Reaper can lead it. Bogged down in a war with the rebel state of Alaska, at odds with Canada and meddling in Mexico's politics, the Unionist-controlled USA proceeds down an ugly path toward fascism, tyranny, and genocide. Politics, assassination, and propaganda form the backdrop for a race against time to rescue hundreds of dying Edens held deep within the American heartland.

It’s been five years since the end of the Hive Wars. Straker has handed over the burden of governing the Earthan Republic to civil authorities. This should be a happy time, as Straker and his most loyal soldiers retire to a planet and step off the galactic stage. Unfortunately, authoritarian forces within the Earthan Republic are still simmering with rage at his victory. Rumors reach Straker of a growing new Republic Fleet manned by state loyalists. Planets begin to fall under their influence and go dark. Even in retirement, they see Straker’s Breakers as a threat.

Publisher's Summary
Sniper and antihero Skull Denham refuses the Eden Plague rather than giving up the demons that drive him. Instead, he selects his own mission to fight against the ever-growing evil of those who would murder innocent Plague carriers, using the only methods he's ever found effective: swift, precise and brutal violence.
Edgier than other Plague Wars novels, Skull's Shadows is a post-apocalyptic thriller meant for mature readers due to language, violence and adult situations. It provides another view of the period following Infection Day and fills in more of Skull's story before he becomes a key player in the future salvation of humanity.

A difficult main character to like
I've enjoyed the plague books so far,, and fully intend to keep reading more. I simply found this one difficult because the protagonist is highly sociopathic and unlikable, if not quite so much as Ward Cleaver from "I am not a serial killer" by Dan Wells (which I never red the next book)
That aside, the narration is competent, if not stellar. The story was solid, held together, and certainly made you understand Skull and his code, if not like him.
