Apocalypse in the Homeland continues the story that tells how John Harris leads a group of survivors through the chaos of a country that has fallen apart. The US president and a coalition of third world leaders have launched a major nuclear and EMP attack on all of the major powers and killed over 100 million Americans. The USA is in chaos with criminals and thugs attacking innocent citizens, while John and his team fight the corrupt Department of Homeland Security and the president.
John leads the people from a major part of the old USA and most of the remaining US military in building a new country, the Independent States of America. The USA immediately begins attacking the new country along with attacks from drug lords based in Mexico. In the last book, Revenge in the Homeland, the ISA has just delivered major blows to the USA’s military and corrupt politicians in retaliation for a series of devastating attacks on the ISA. John and his team were kidnapped, but crashed in Wyoming while overpowering their abductors. They are thought to be dead. He quickly makes the best of the situation and decides to annex the Northwest ahead of schedule. He only has to kill a few thousand gang members and wannabe dictators. No big hill to climb for John. Everyone else in the ISA is worried about rescuing John; however, John has never felt like he needed to be rescued.
