The dead we honor / by Johnstone, William W.,author.; Johnstone, J. A.,author.;
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. 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.
