Fallen Eagle: Liberty's Blood

by John J. Rust

FALLEN EAGLE – Scorched Earth reveals America . . . No Longer Land of the Free. Washington and Alaska are under UN occupation; the President and her cabinet are prisoners. The fanatical Friends of Peace terrorize the country in the name of the cult-like United Nations Secretary General Ohmara Saihi, who will make his vision of an enlightened world a reality by any means necessary. Marine commando Jan-Erik Ruud and his rock star-turned-sniper girlfriend Krista Brandt are not about to give up. From the tiny Alaska town of Talkeetna, they lead a group of eclectic patriots in a guerrilla war against the UN. But Ruud knows for ultimate victory, America needs its leader back. So, he devises a desperate plan to free President Emily Moore from the heart of enemy-held Anchorage. No matter the cost, Ruud cannot fail, for he has discovered Saihi's ultimate plan, one that will have horrifying consequences for the world. “I really enjoyed the first book in the series and this one was just as good! If you like books on near future combat, you will enjoy this series.” Steven Phillips
