BEN RAINES. CONTACT US

The message has gone out on CB radio and up on bill boards as a nation brought to its knees by nuclear holocaust begins to regroup and look for a strong leader.

Ben Raines, a retired soldier and mercenary known throughout the world for his best-selling novels expounding an America far different than the one that exists, is one of the survivors... and does not want to be put in charge of anyone or anything.

As he travels across the country, searching for his family, Ben discovers that his weapons and knowledge of survival techniques are among his most valuable assets-and that we have learned nothing from the war.

Finally tired of battling alone against the roving gangs and the repressive rule of the new government, Ben contacts the soldiers and civilians of the Resistance forces, leading them to an isolated area of the West. There, in Tri-states, the threat his vision of America presents to the established order brings the final outrage: an armed attack by government forces.

America, itself, hangs in the balance, and Raines must win to bring the country Out of the Ashes.
