Tides of Vengeance: Kerrigans War
"The action is brutal, but the father-daughter conflict is what truly elevates this story. A powerful and compelling read." - Goodreads Reviewer
Four years after the world ended, the war for survival rages on.
The EMP attack was just the beginning. John Kerrigan escaped the Cabal's brutal mountain prison, forged a Resistance from the ashes, and reclaimed territory inch by blood-soaked inch. But the victory feels hollow.
His daughter, Emily, is gone. Snatched during the chaos by John’s own sadistic brother, Vorn—a charismatic monster leading the ruthless Hell's Enforcers. For four long years, John has searched, hunted, bled. Now, a fragile lead Emily is alive, deep within enemy lines, heading towards the ruins of Washington D.C.
But Emily isn't just a captive anymore. Whispers paint her as Vorn's lieutenant, a hardened killer changed by the horrors she's endured and the lies she's been fed.
As John prepares a desperate push into the heart of Cabal power, he uncovers a terrifying Project Cleanse. A bioweapon engineered to wipe out millions, leaving only those the Cabal deems worthy. And they hold the only cure.
Hundreds of miles of hostile territory stand between John and D.C. He must navigate treacherous alliances with uncertain allies, confront betrayal from within his own ranks, and battle not only the Cabal's elite forces but the darkness consuming his own family.
The mission is stop the apocalypse and save his daughter. But can he rescue the girl she once was from the woman she has become? Or will he have to destroy one to achieve the other?
When the world has already ended, the only things left to lose are your soul and the ones you love.
From Joseph Sackett comes Tides of Vengeance, a gripping post-apocalyptic military thriller. Featuring high-octane action, morally complex characters, and stakes that couldn't be higher, this novel plunges you into a desperate fight for the future of humanity itself.
Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sansbury Smith's Hell Divers, Jack Carr's Terminal List, and the high-stakes survival of The Last of Us.
