Publisher's summary

Texas free! Texas strong!
A battle cry rallied a new nation.
But a storm is brewing which could challenge the Texans' way of life.
A warning is issued...you better leave well enough alone because you don't know nothin' about Texas strong.

The Lone Star series continues with Texas Strong, book four in author Bobby Akart's latest postapocalyptic thriller fiction series.

Nuclear armageddon struck the United States and Texas received a glancing blow. The Armstrong family is reunited and now they must turn their attention to the threats which exist all around them.

Through prudent planning, Texas protected its power grid from the impact of the devastating electromagnetic pulse attack, but was it enough? The new nation is but an island surrounded by chaos and devastation. Food is running out for its nearly 30 million citizens while millions of refugees press against the border fencing erected to keep them out.

The pressure is on and an unexpected catalyst is about to create havoc for all Texans, including the Armstrong Ranch.

The Lone Star series is a thought-provoking, gut-wrenching look into a postapocalyptic country devastated by nuclear destruction.

Would you be ready to make the tough decisions to protect your family and survive?

The genre has a new leader

Akart has been at the TOPof my lost since he started
I’m listening to Texas Strong for the third time (in 3 days) It is so rich in storyline action and detail I get “it” better each time and catch something I missed

Damn, this series is good!

Texas is going through growing pains but as is usual with politics, what is good for the people they represent, the poiticians will fight, argue, pout and toss verbal grenades at each other. As if that is not enough, Halloway and his North Korean team are wreching havoc as they cross an unguarded part of Texas border, killing and taking what they want as they advance toward the most vulnerable part of the new nation that is Texas. (possible spoilers)
The Armstrong ranch is also facing their own trouble not just from out of country refugees but Texans as well as the food crisis grows.
President Burnette has allowed the UN to bring in humanitarian aide not just in Texas as well as but to use a small area airport as staging ground for them to send humanitarian aid further north. But of course they are merely a Trojan Horse to bring in dissidents to further create trouble.
Duncan has also come to the realization that his part in this entire thing is not over and he might himself be a target playing his own cards close to the vest.
As always, assaination from many directions is faced by several of the protagonist unbeknown to them.
As danger from all sides comes at the Armstrongs, they are now more fiercely dedicated to each other, protecting their property from any and all intruders. But will the strong bond they have for each other be enough to get them through what is coming their way? Only time will tell. One thing is sure , they will meet it head on...
As I stated before, this saga is great not only for its eye opening topic but because it is so well written that no gratuitous violence or sex is written into the story line or even needed. This is about family and the love, unity and respect they have for each other, something sorely lacking in these sad and difficult times.
This is a must read series for those that follow politics, expecially in this daay of volitil rehtoric between both parties and their followers.

Great Story , Quite Expensive

The writer and narrator did an outstanding job. The story is a lot of fun. That much money for six hours of book is way too expensive!

Ultimate Cliffhanger! Ugh!!!

The Lone Star Series just keeps getting better and better. From a Texan from the Panhandle, I can tell you that Bobby did his homework...not that this is a surprise. It just nice have an author be accurate on his setting project after project. Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out as it appears that the enemy has the upper hand. Is one of the characters from the Armstrong family going to be snuffed out? Can't wait for the next one to find out! Outstanding job Bobby!!!
