WHO WILL DOMINATE THE FINAL BATTLE FOR AMERICA--A FEARLESS SHADOW WARRIOR OR AN ISLAMIC MASTERMIND? 2045: The Islamic Republic and the Bible Belt--the warring nations that arose after the apocalyptic and economic collapse of the United States--are rife with intellectual and social decay, and to the south, the Aztlán Empire threatens encroachment. For genetically enhanced soldier Rakkim Epps, reuniting the factions and regaining America's former global standing rests on the discovery of a sacred relic lost in the contaminated ruins of Washington, D.C. In this deadly wasteland of diseased zombies and daring treasure hunters, Epps will ultimately face his archenemy, a dying Muslim fanatic who has brilliantly drawn Epps into an explosive showdown, with Epps's own survival and the fate of the world at stake.
