The war is no longer distant. It is no longer deniable. Across Europe, lights flicker and trains stall as sabotage spreads through power grids and supply lines. In the shadows between borders, the rules that once kept the war contained are being quietly discarded. And the lines between restraint and escalation begin to fracture. In Brussels and Berlin, leaders struggle to keep a fragile alliance from splintering. On the ground, covert operatives hunt an enemy that thrives in chaos. Each strike leaves scars. Each response hardens positions.

Jack, a sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical ex-special operations pilot and soldier is one of the few left to struggle through the desolation left in the aftermath; seeking to survive as a new ferocious species emerges from the rubble, hungry and unrelenting. Will his special forces training be enough? Will he be able to keep his children safe and guide the few survivors through perils that now roam the world they once knew? Or will the hordes that now own the night prevail, forever removing the last of mankind from existence?

Jack Walker journeyed halfway around the world and completed his daring rescue. He must now return home, traversing a world filled with endless hordes of night runners, the genetically-altered, ferocious species that now inhabit the dark recesses left over from the demise of mankind and now dominate the planet. The only things more dominant are the billions of corpses left to rot where they died.

Another American carrier was hit by the Chinese, this time from their vaunted hypersonic ship-killer missiles.

In the midst of China’s colossal buildup, the undersea battles for control of the South China, East China, and Philippine Seas continues.

But time is running out, and an answer to the threat must be found if the United States hopes to retain any hope of keeping the South China Sea out of China’s hands.
