Publisher's summary

What would a mad man do with a real weapon of mass destruction? Simple. He would use it. In the near future, that is exactly what has happened.

Derek Martell finds himself on a contract job in Iraq when the newly formed Islamic Caliphate unleashes a genetic weapon - to devastating effect.

Eighty percent of the non-Arab global population is wiped out overnight. As Derek and his crew struggle to escape the Middle East ahead of an expected nuclear counterstrike, questions plague him. Why are military personnel seemingly unaffected? How far-reaching is the weapon? And is there still a United States to return to?

With a fist full of bullets and a crew of misfits, Derek has a plane to steal - as long as he can find a pilot in this god-forsaken hell hole.

If you’ve got your GWOT on you’ll love this Book

Brother Clay,
After Last son of the War God and your GunsAmerica articles I knew that you had a gift, but brother this is a helluva can’t stop listening or burning down the pages read. Your all-star cast of Usual Suspects is just awesome.

Iv got one request when Derek, Paul, Mr. Dodge, and Willy plf to the Llano Estacado. You may need a hand from a Wylie 150lbs Texan who can fix anything that breaks, and uses his Initials for a name.

Your crushing it brother!

Excellent!

I read the book initially and liked it so much I had to get the audiobook. Great narration. I look forward to more works from Mr. Martin.

good listen but annoying at times

I really enjoyed the book. I want America's war fighters to be tough as nails, intelligent, ruthless when needed and merciful when practical. these characters were all of that!

I could have done without the Hillary/deep state narrative (while at the same time supporting trump lol please make that make sense) at the beginning but it wasn't throughout so I lived through it.

all in all it was an exciting listen and the narrator was excellent! I do hope there's another book after this one because if not the ending did suck...if there is, then the ending was perfect

Amazing, well written and narrated story

It's saddening that politics has divided this great country, and that people have to throw stones, (or worse), at those who have a different opinion of the world than their own. I thoroughly enjoyed Clay Martin's wit and sarcasm, and his great story telling talent. The story line sets up an apocalyptic scenario that is hopefully improbable but not impossible. If the wrong person or group came into possession of a WMD, I have no doubt that they would use it. Thankfully because of the brave men and women in service to our Nation who protect our safety and freedom every single day while putting their own lives on the line, it has not happened ....yet.

Fantastic book

I keep a credit waiting for the next book I have been following to see when it will be… but I have listened to this book at least a dozen times while working absolutely incredible writing
