The Dead We Honor

by William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Overview

Small town America is under attack—but one group of patriots are fighting back—in this explosive contemporary thriller from the bestselling Johnstones . . .

THE FIGHT FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA BEGINS

Welcome to Maverick, Iowa. Once a thriving farm community, the peaceful little town is now a bristling hotbed of drugs, crime, and homelessness. Thanks to the misguided policies of a new state governor, the floodgates have been opened to a devastating and very unwelcome wave of newcomers, grifters, fentanyl dealers, thieves, and roving gangs of smash-and-grabbers—and one powerful billionaire who’s buying up the farmland. Lifelong residents watch helplessly as their beloved Main Street becomes a bloody battleground in a divided America. This is more than a culture war; it’s a hostile takeover.

But one group of veterans are fighting back. . . .

THIS LAND IS OUR LAND. THIS FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT.
Returning home for the first time since Afghanistan, war veteran Bryan Branch barely recognizes his old stomping ground. Back in the day, he was the town hellraiser—until the military gave him a sense of purpose and appreciation for our hard-fought freedoms. Now those freedoms are under attack—and this time, it’s personal. As the violence and destruction of Maverick spirals out of control, Bryan enlists the help of his army buddies, a group of veterans who call themselves “The Night Warriors.” They’re armed and ready to clean up the town. But their enemies are armed, too—and ready to blow the whole country straight to hell . . .
