Nathan Stout was born to save the world. Cloned from the genes of heroes past, tossed aside when the Army abandoned the program, Nate has seized his own destiny. Forming the Broken Arrow Mercenary Force, he leads a team of hired guns piloting cutting-edge mechs in a last-ditch effort to restore a United States he never knew. America is under siege by the Russians and Chinese, its major cities devastated by nuclear terrorism. The Army has retreated, the politicians have abandoned the east coast, and the only thing standing in the way of total devastation is a handful of mercenaries. But unseen forces are guiding the battles he fights, steering him toward a fate he never imagined, determined to end his dream of a reunited America. Can Nathan Stout’s mech force survive the machinations leading the world toward the hellfires of endless war?

Nathan Stout is a prisoner of the past...but not his own past. Captured by a man who was once the closest friend of Nate's Prime, from whom he was cloned decades ago, Nate is alive because Robert Franklin needs something from him. Something he can use to topple governments and take control of a world gone mad. Once he has it, Nate may be expendable. Meanwhile, Broken Arrow Mercenary Force is in tatters. Roach and Mule are left huddling in their last safe haven, alone, confused, and afraid. But they're BAMF and they don't give up. Searching among the dregs of society in the ruins of post-war Virginia, they find an old soldier turned mercenary who may be able to help them find Nate...and find out why he was taken.
