    language (River City Publishing, Jan. 18, 2018)
    With thousands of copies sold and millions of pages read in this series, The Ophidian Horde is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that’s perfect for fans of Jack Hunt, Ryan Westfield, Harley Tate and Mike Kraus.A scathing attack. A city teetering on the edge of ruin. Under the weight of an extinction level event, the end of one world marks the beginning of another... The unraveling of society is beyond perilous. With the city in chaos, injuries to her party and a sharp loss of resources, Cincinnati McNamara looks to Indigo for help in forming a new homestead, a place where she can tend to the wounded and safeguard her family. Indigo, however, is a bruised soul with an irrevocable need to stop the Ophidian Horde and its ilk from overtaking the city. The only problem: she’s waging war on an enemy too enormous and too ferocious to handle on her own. She needs the McNamara’s help. Their numbers aren’t enough, but times being what they are, they’ll have to suffice...In this third installment of The Last War series, survival has never been more treacherous, and the fact that an EMP counter-strike turned San Francisco into a post-apocalyptic nightmare isn’t an easy pill to swallow.

With eighty-thousand copies sold, thirty million pages read and 3000+ five star Amazon and Good Reads reviews series wide, this award winning adventure series is the one you don’t want to miss.

Caught in the killing fields and forced to run, this remarkable family will attempt the impossible: they’ll try to escape a world now backsliding into a nightmarish landscape more reminiscent of the stone ages than the once famed city by the bay.The Last War is a clean, lightning-fast thriller about an ordinary family struggling to escape San Francisco in the face of insurmountable odds, an abysmal loss of life and the dawn of a new, post-apocalyptic dark age.
