"President Nathaniel 'Dutch' McAdams saves his family from the apocalypse but sacrifices his duty in the process. With the nation in ruins, he retreats into a brutal regimen of physical fitness and combat training, resolving to fight to the death as a partisan for the country he failed. His family settled among the Paiute Indians of Northern Nevada where, two months later, a Russian Spetsnaz unit comes searching for the nuclear missile control briefcase from the wreckage of Air Force One. The implications of the Russian incursion bloom into the terrifying likelihood of a one-sided nuclear strike against the American West. As the President pleads with Native Americans for assistance, he discovers they have earthshaking secrets of their own. Social justice, indigenous rights and old wounds challenge an alliance that could either save America or turn it down the path of a long, dark age"--Back cover.
