Publisher's Synopsis
After a failed mission in the abandoned, bombed-out, and collapsed mega-city known to the world as Zone Alpha, Alex Rockwell and John Hanley, brothers-in-arms, are separated for the first time in ten years.
Nearly killed in action, Alex takes a medical retirement and wanders aimlessly into civilian life. Physically unscathed but mentally shattered, John struggles to cope with nearly losing his best friend even as he is next in line to become the leading enlisted member of his team. John's life goes from bad to worse, while Alex quickly finds himself living a beautiful new life on Barcelona beaches. Alex learned many things as a member of the deadliest combat force on the planet, and more than anything he knows to appreciate every single day... because he and his new family are living in the last few years of peace and prosperity that modern civilization will know.
