In New Orleans, Barry Rivers fought the mob and exposed traitors inside the U.S. government. Then, when a bomb killed the woman he loved, he started life again under a new identity—with a new mission. Now Rivers travels America’s highways in a midnight blue Kenworth with his dog named “Dog,” and a whole lot of guns, bullets, and bombs packed into the cab. An attempted hijacking on a New Mexico highway puts Rivers face to face with an unholy alliance of terrorists—and brings him the able-bodied assistance of a female Air Force Special Ops officer who knows how to shift a truck and shoot to kill. Now Rivers and Lieutenant Meri Cutter are driving a rig loaded with top secret, super-explosive transport coast to coast. They’re just waiting for the terrorists to make their next move—so they can strike back hard . . . and hit them where it counts. Live Free. Read Hard.

Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
An epic saga based on true events of the American West—with the trailblazing fur trappers and the mountain men who lived it. This is an unforgettable journey into the untamed American frontier. Where nature is cruel, violence lurks behind every tree, and where only the strongest of the strong survive. This is a story of America. TO THE RIVER’S END Luke Ransom was just eighteen years old when he answered an ad in a St. Louis newspaper that would change his life forever. The American Fur Company needed one-hundred enterprising men to travel up the Missouri River—the longest in North America—all the way to its source. They would hunt and trap furs for one, two, or three years. Along the way, they would face unimaginable hardships: grueling weather, wild animals, hunger, exhaustion, and hostile attacks by the Blackfeet and Arikara. Luke Ransom was one of the brave men chosen for the job—and one of the few to survive . . . Five years later, Luke is a seasoned trapper and hunter, a master of his trade. The year is 1833, and the American Fur Company is sending him to the now-famous Rendezvous at Green River. For Luke, it may be his last job for the company. After facing death countless times, he is ready to strike out on his own. But when he encounters a fellow trapper under attack by Indians, his life takes an unexpected turn. A new friendship is forged in blood. And a dangerous new journey begins…
