À propos de cet ebook
Freeman and McBride. On opposite sides of the most bitter divide since the Civil War, two warriors found in each other the perfect enemy: implacable, unforgiving, unwilling to leave anything to chance. And in the war between the USA and the Militia, Gen. Douglas Freeman and master guerrilla strategist "Lucky" McBride are each fighting for the only thing they believe in: complete victory at any cost. While Freeman won round one, putting McBride's top soldiers behind barbed-wire prison fences, McBride and the Militia are most dangerous when cornered—and they're about to strike back.
McBride has his eye on the big prize: the most magnificent American weapon anywhere in the world. Killing when he has to, striking out of thin air, and moving his shock troops like chess pieces, McBride is taking aim. And if he hits his target, the cost in lives will be staggering. As for Freeman, he'll use guerrilla tactics to find the Militia at a secret fortress already running with blood—and then take aim himself....
