"Engrossing...Fans of doomsday military thrillers will delight in the resilience of Gilstrap's family of preppers and their quest for survival on their terms." -Publishers Weekly

One-time congressional representative Victoria Emerson has become the leader of a small town in West Virginia, where it's a struggle just to provide food and shelter. Progress is encouraging--until one morning her son sounds the alarm "Blue Fire!"--the code phrase for imminent danger.

A renegade band of National Guardsmen wants to take over the town and steal its resources. They've got the firepower to eliminate anyone who puts up a fight. But Victoria swore an oath to defend her people. It's time to tap into the traditional American values of courage, ingenuity, and patriotism--and fight fire with fire.
