Part two of this 9.0 earthquake and volcano trilogy picks up right where the exciting conclusion to Tahoma’s Hammer left you hanging. As new allies begin to move onto the rifle club’s property, Phil must begin the grieving process for the recent personal tragedy. Rising violence throughout Slaughter County forces the club members to take drastic action, even at the risk of government reprisal. In the midst of this, Phil discovers a dear friend has been gravely injured. He decides to set out to find him before it’s too late.

Travel back in time, too, as new characters experience the disasters. A former Ranger moves his family to their bug-out location. A charge nurse learns the true meaning of horror when she leads the hospital’s triage center. And a sniper set on vengeance finds himself in a life and death battle with a monster.

In the shadows, as local organized crime syndicates jockey for the top spot, a subversive and ready foe is amassing an army of unbelievable size. The authorities in Seattle learn in one night how desperately out-planned and out-gunned they are. Follow as the Mendoza Cartel sets the stage for a new chapter in American history, while Phil and the Slaughter Peninsula Posse work to save Liberty from tyranny before it is completely gone.
