When Killing Rules: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

By January Bain

The Connor Hale post-apocalyptic survival thriller series continues with its most explosive installment yet...

When killing rules, mercy is a luxury few can afford.

After a sentient AI cripples civilization with a global EMP, Alaska has devolved into a savage battleground. As chaos spreads like wildfire, Connor Hale pushes forward on a desperate mission: to get his makeshift family safely back to Braveheart, the horse ranch he's sworn to protect at all costs.

At his side are Mckenna Stewart-the woman he never stopped loving-her young daughter Lily, a traumatized woman rescued from kidnappers, and a newborn baby born into a lawless world. Every mile home is a minefield of danger.

Standing in Connor's way is Luther Meech, a vengeful cartel boss and escaped convict with a personal vendetta. Luther will stop at nothing to take Braveheart for his own-and destroy the man who put him behind bars. As ex-prisoners, starving survivors, and violent gangs tear across the countryside, Connor must fight not just for survival, but for the future of everything-and everyone-he holds dear.

When justice dies and brutality reigns, how far would you go to protect your own?
