Post-Apocalyptic Military Sci-Fi Fans RAVE about the ARISEN ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "the most amazing and intense battle scenes you've ever experienced" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Like a Michael Bay movie on steroids" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "roars out of the gate at 200mph and just keeps going_" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The Game of Thrones of the Zombie Apocalypse" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Blows World War Z out of the water" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Every time I think it cannot get any better, BAM! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "They grab you on the first page and kick your ass through the entire series_"Master Sergeant Yaël Sion has finally found a home, conquering her demons and earning her place with the last most elite special operations forces on Earth. But just as she plants her flag, the war against the dead escalates beyond anything she has ever faced. Called away on a desperate mission to the remote wastes of the Hindu Kush, she finds herself battling not just the dead but hundreds of brutal and blooded fighters from the last war – and struggling to save her beleaguered brothers from far-flung corners of the ZA. From there, the missions grow more a high-stakes operation to take back the overrun seed vault on a remote and frozen Arctic island, and a fateful mission to find the cure in Ireland, where hunkered down IRA survivors threaten them with capture, death, and much worse. But while she is fighting to rescue her closest comrade, Echo team is devastated – their leaders dead, the team in chaos. And Yaël is handed an impossible Take command. Bring the team together. And keep them in the fight. But the war for survival is tipping toward catastrophe – a lethal and uncontrolled outbreak at Hereford, the Channel Tunnel breached, and the fall of Fortress Britain imminent. With the final clock ticking, and the last remnants of USOC saddling up to fight the final battle in the South, and then reinforce the doomed defense of the Alamo at CentCom, Yaël is left with one last impossible Escape to safety and freedom. Or die fighting in humanity's last stand. A soldier without a country. A warrior with a cause. And a survivor with one final choice. The time has come for Yaël to decide who she really is. Stronghold is the explosive final volume in the Operators epic, dovetailing perfectly with the cataclysmic endgame of the ARISEN main series.
