Another fine episode in this series - and in my opinion a step up from the previous volume, as it has Sam playing a larger part, along with Jenn's progress in the Flagstaff Militia.
As an early winter looms Flagstaff combines forces with nearby Prescott and the remaining National Guard from the New River relief camp following the coup in Washington that led to a desertion by some Guard members.
Facing the double threat of an incursion by thousands of sick refugees and the resurgence of the Major Flagstaff braces itself and blocks access.
