The American-Russian war has reached a near stalemate, but troubles at home and the high cost in blood and treasure makes the Russians think twice about continuing. John and his partisans fight on.

Missouri isn't the place Corporal James Thomas remembers from before the Civil War. Deserters and thieves abound making life for his aging parents and neighbors harsh, and in too many cases, brutishly short. In the young Corporal's case a serious head injury leaves him with bouts of epilepsy, the unfriendly reminder of his years with the Confederate Army. James is torn, should he hold fast to his former way of life and fight for his Missouri town, or give into the desire of escaping the past and moving out west. Eventually, James can't hide from his dreams any longer. Accompanied by his new wife and a few others friends looking for low-cost land on the western frontiers, they pick up stakes to start out for a new life in Montana. Indian trouble and the rigors of prairie life challenge the new settler's courage. Their task is rough and the trail is difficult, but through it all James keeps alive his mission of living his way...in a wild Montana.

The action continues in BOOK 9 as the battle between the American resistance vs. the invaders continues anew... the conflict begins to turn as the partisans make new headway against their not-so-complacent Russian foes. Is this the beginning of the end...or The end of the beginning?

Nate and Cotton are always ready for trouble, but when they're ambushed by a Blackfoot war party they barely escape with their lives. Injured and on the run, the pair stumble upon three souls a runaway slave and his two young children. When the children Nate and Cotton saved are re-captured by the slavers, the urge for revenge blindsides Nate.

When trapper, Coon Turner, turns renegade killer to steal the plew of his friends, Nate and Cotton decide justice must be served, and they aim to see the job completed. Coon knows if he can reach Missouri, where the law has no jurisdiction, he'll be a free man. But making it safely, with Nate and Cotton hot on his heels, isn't going to be easy.

First they used chemical weapons on the Americans, then the Russians set off a tactical nuclear bomb in an effort to destroy a suitcase nuke captured by the rebels. Deadly radioactive fallout now adds to the already fierce battle to reclaim the U.S.A. and the partisans have even less to lose. Now the rebels must decide how to strike back.

In Book 3 the battle for America rages on. John and his fellow partisans evolve from a rag-tag group of rebels into an organized force. Using classic guerrilla war tactics the resistance forces attack Russian air bases, but are set up. Could there be a traitor in their ranks? What sort of person could betray their fellow Americans?

The Fall of America: Book 2 continues John's story of survival and resistance after society breaks down. The Russian invaders try to pacify areas of the South under their control. American resistance groups use small cells to better operate effectively behind enemy lines. But as their efforts gain ground the Russians respond with harsh reprisals.

After a storm tossed night in the Rockies, Nate Grisham encounters a lost Army captain and his family far from any civilized town. And something doesn't seem right about his story of having been ambushed by Blackfoot warriors. After escorting them to the nearest Army post he discovers the Army is looking for an imposter-and murderer.

The Fall of America is the beginning of a new series, about an average man who's life goes downhill fast, once society breaks down. It started with the "Biggest" stock market crash in history. Banks shut down under the weight of their bogus investments, and the financial sector failed. Hyper-inflation, mass unemployment and violent upheaval.

On a trip to the Alaskan bush, a sudden weather system forces down the small plane of Dr. Jim Wade, and his son David. Both have survived the crash, but not unscathed. Food, fire and shelter are all a priority. Following the death of his father, now it is up to David to figure out what to do next, and how to survive.
