About this eBook

An explosive thriller in which an Army Ranger battles it out in Texas to fight for the red, white, and blue is repackage with a bold new cover for new and old fans of national bestselling authors William W. and J. A. Johnstone.

FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE

After the President agrees to hold civilian trials for a gang of  murderous, kill-crazy terrorists, some of them are relocated to Hell’s Gate Prison in West Texas, until a group of fanatical sleeper-cell shock troops launch an all-out assault to “liberate” their jailed comrades. There’s just one problem: they don’t know that Army Ranger Lucas Kincaid is working part-time at Hell’s Gate.

With the town’s high school team held hostage and in danger of being executed one by one, Kincaid assembles a ragtag band of survivors and aging hardcore cons into a lethal fighting force to keep the unholy warriors from their deadly mission. And Kincaid and his men are on their own—everyone, from the President on down, orders Kincaid to give in to the terrorists’ demands.

But warrior Lucas Kincaid, outnumbered sand outgunned, won’t back down.

One thing’s for sure: when the enemy gets to Hell, they’ll know America sent them.
 

Ratings and reviews

Which shows Johnstone's political stance. Politics, patriotism, terrorism, and ruthlessness all wrapped up in one book. Would love to see another novel to continue on these characters.

A little heavy on politics, but who knows maybe that was a good thing

The overt political propaganda is pretty hilarious. Good read for a laugh.
