1 Out of the Ashes
COME AND TAKE IT

The worst-case scenario has come to pass— a nuclear strike has crippled America. Gangs, looters, and vandals have seized the streets. The decent few can only pray for a leader to protect them. Luckily, one of the survivors is Ben Raines.

Rebel mercenary, retired soldier, and tireless patriot, Raines is searching for his missing family in the aftermath of this devastating war. His relentless pursuit through the ruined cities of the west unites him with the civilians of the Resistance forces. They become his recruits for a revolutionary army dedicated to rebuilding America. Then comes the final outrage— an armed attack by government forces. With the fate of America's New Patriots hanging in the balance, Raines vows-government be damned-to survive, find his family, and lead this once great nation out of the ashes.

2 Fire in the Ashes
It is 1999 and the world has been destroyed by a nuclear holocaust. Among the survivors is Ben Raines, a retired soldier and mercenary--and the only man alive trained to lead the Resistance and build a new America. But as the Rebel's greatest adversary, the U.S. Government, crushes their dreams, an even greater peril awaits them--an indescructible breed of enemies.

3 Anarchy in the Ashes
In the aftermath of germ and nuclear warfare, of plague and pillage and bloody anarchy, the fate of a divided world hangs by a slender thread. Ben Raines and his SUSA Rebels are on one side and the enemies of freedom are on the other. But Ben Raines has sworn to make the dream of government by the people a reality. Until ruthless mercenary Sam Hartline puts together a mammoth army of invading Russians that could not only decimate Raines's Rebel forces but forever crush the dream that was--and is--America.

4 Blood in the Ashes
A bloodthirsty religious cult called the Ninth Order is spreading a doctrine of hate across the land. They're soulless and sadistic, and they're sending their armies of fanatics against Raines and his Rebels . . . plotting treachery within his own ranks. If their terrible plan succeeds, Ben Raines will die, and so will all his bright dreams for the future of America.

5 Alone in the Ashes
Ben Raines is fighting to rebuild a nation from the bitter chaos and smoldering ashes of nuclear war and anarchy. But in this hellish new order, there are devils leading armed gangs of marauders, who bring destruction wherever they go. When Raines is cut off from his SUSA Rebel forces, he becomes their prey. Somehow, Raines must stay one step ahead of death--until he decides it's time to turn and fight. Then, all hell breaks loose!

6 Wind in the Ashes
In post-World War III America, legendary soldier and freedom fighter Ben Raines orders his rebels to make one last desperate assault against the Russian invaders and the mercenary turncoat San Hartline. But until fresh troops arrive, Raines wages a one-man guerrilla war against the enemy!
