The outside world was different than they remembered. Impersonal. Harsh. But that world was the same. It was the survivors who had changed. When the Treaty between the United States and Russia offered the opportunity for Chuck, Madison and the others to return to Alaska, they seized it, this time leaving modern conveniences behind by choice. Chuck and the Community have the same mission they’ve always had: to live life to the fullest in a new world of their own making. But that means they must confront the Russian invaders yet again as the enemy tries to establish its own settlement, and the Nagys' world turns upside down once more – maybe for the final time. Fans of military fiction like William Johnstone's Ashes Series and John Gilstrap's At All Costs will love the power, suspense, and deep family commitment of the End Times: Alaska trilogy. “Mr. Martelle brings the savage beauty of the Alaskan back country alive to those of us in the lower 48. He has the ability to keep the reader involved with his characters, to care about them, and hope for their success.” Amazon Review. Cheer for the Community as they try to build a new society on the ashes of the old world … a harsh post-war world where danger and trials stalk them at every turn.
