Irregular Scout Team One: Volume 4: Bad Company
The world has fallen, swept away by plague and civil war. In a quiet corner of a what remains of the United States, former Scout Team leader Nick Agostine struggles to adjust to peace, wanting to raise corn and kids with his wife. He has a good crop of both growing when the reality of violent war shatters his precious peace.
Called back to active duty, Colonel Agostine is tasked with planning reconnaissance missions for the Scout Teams to take out the leadership of the rebellions Mountain Republic. A final strike to end the last war, but when nuclear weapons become involved, Irregular Scout Team One travels to Florida to in chase of a renegade traitor. Disaster overtakes the Team and Agostine sets out on desperate search to find his missing wife.
Through it all, the question runs, what price loyalty, and does the dream of America still live on in the hearts of men, or has it died in the ashes of barbarism?

Entertaining
This series has kept me turning page for the past week. It's part parallel history and part science fiction speaks to me in a way that makes me feel truly glad to live in OUR present times (even while acknowledging how divided and contentious our society is.) The characters and descriptions are believable and well imagined. I heartily recommend this series as an escape from the humdrum of a daily routine.

There were a lot of good parts to this volume and i loved it overall, but there are so many small details that kept on getting mixed up. some characters changed names a few times. I wish some of those names and accomplices could have been kept straight and a little more detail about final outcomes could be included in the end. I wonder if there is room for a vol 5?

Great Series
I never know what to write in these reviews; it's either full of spoilers or some mealy-mouthed suck up to the author, but in this case,, I really did enjoy all 4 books, and hope Nick and crew get to enjoy some down time, or even retirement.

They never get a break!
I love this series, they get shot, blown up, bitten, thrown in the ocean but somehow make the mission a success.
