Publisher's Synopsis
A Union city is in danger of being wiped off the map.
After an anthrax attack terrorized the Union's populace, Rook and Thorn have been busy attempting to figure out what the terrorist plan of Promised Land really means. The anthrax attack was merely the opening salvo. What's next?
Now Rook and Thorn learn that the German Empire has created a bomb that can destroy entire cities, and that Confederacy president Bradenton has one and has plans to use it. Multiple Union cities have been targeted for terrorist attack, but the bomb can only be sent to one. How can Rook and Thorn discover which Union city is Bradenton's main target, then find it, and defuse it in time? Old friends stand beside them while new enemies block their path toward saving the Union from not only its enemies, but itself.
The fifth book in the saga of Rook and Thorn brings more fast-paced action and engaging characters to this history of an alternate United States, and ties up their story in a rip-roaring fashion.
