Harden is the highly-anticipated return to the NYT best-selling series, The Remaining. It’s been three years since Lee Harden emerged from his bunker into a world gone mad. Governments have fallen. And new ones have taken their place. In the United Eastern States, Lee and his team of battle-hardened operatives walk a tightrope of survival, keeping their fledgling society safe from the creatures beyond their gates - and from the enemies within. Then, an ambush in hostile territory reveals a traitor in their midst - and leaves Lee barely clinging to life. Wounded and on the run, Lee and his team race to uncover the leak before it’s too late. Through a background of destruction, betrayal, and newly-evolved apex predators, they must stay one step ahead of a ruthless organization spreading out of the south - an organization that has allied with someone who wants Lee dead, and the United Eastern States demolished. But how do you stay ahead of an enemy that knows every move you make? Reintroducing one of the most beloved heroes in post-apocalyptic fiction, Harden immerses you in a reality of desperate gambits, where wrong moves could cost the lives of thousands, but saving them could cost your humanity. The only rule is NEVER STOP FIGHTING.
THERE WILL BE BLOOD. After being sequestered to a bunker to recover from his wounds, Lee Harden is finally going topside with his fellow Project Hometown Coordinator, Terrence "Tex" Lehy. Lee wants to ally the UES with Texas, in order to combat the threat of a powerful oil cartel to the south. But Tex's methods raise serious questions, and Lee quickly discovers that Texas has its own set of problems. In the Fort Bragg Safe Zone, the conflict with the Lincolnists is rapidly escalating. Master Sergeant Carl Gilliard has just returned, and he’s intent on destroying the Lincolnists, using whatever means is necessary. Angela is caught in the middle, unable to reconcile her sense of civil morality with her desire for justice. One thing remains certain: before there is peace, there will be blood.
They're called Mr. No One and Mr. Nobody, and wherever they go, death follows. Lee Harden is out for blood. After a month, the cartel is looking over their shoulders and jumping at shadows, worried about the madmen in their backyard. Madmen who seem obsessed with little else but killing cartel members. Lee continues to claw his way towards revenge, searching for a target to strike at, or a person to destroy, that will force his enemies to reveal themselves. And nothing is going to stop him. Not even Abe. In the United Eastern States, things are crumbling around Angela. Safe Zones are dropping out of communication, and no one seems to have any faith in her since the fall of Fort Bragg. Carl Gilliard's methods of purging the dissenters grow harsher and harsher, and Angela is forced to run interference for him, denying allegations of misconduct. She needs to get them back to Fort Bragg, to show that they aren't losing this war. But she's not sure they can get there before everything falls apart. Working fast--and sometimes unsafely--to secure the route back to Fort Bragg, Sam Ryder and his squad make a grim discovery that might be the start of an evolutionary jump for the primals--and a threat to the survival of the human race. In this thrilling and gritty third installment to the Lee Harden Series, the only thing you can be certain of is that things are about to change.
Don't ever let it break you. The United Eastern States is crumbling. The fragile house of cards that Lee Harden and Angela Houston have built has begun to fall. Lee is up against a ticking clock, as he is recalled from Texas and given the last thing in the world that he wants: a promotion. Forced into a command role, Major Harden is thrust into a sharp learning curve that goes against every instinct he's developed over years of fighting. While Lee races to find his footing in a mire of shifting loyalties and opposing goals, Safe Zones are being overrun by massive hordes of primals exhibiting strange behaviors and uncanny levels of intelligence, and Greeley is moving towards an invasion of the UES. The envoys from Canada and the United Kingdom know it--but they're refusing to take sides and give Lee the intelligence he desperately needs. As the tides of war reach the doors of the UES, horrific secrets are revealed that will change the future of their fight for survival. Friends become enemies, and enemies become allies. But no matter what happens, no matter what--or who--he loses, Lee can't let it break him. He must remain defiant to the last.
Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed. The United Eastern States has fallen. Lee Harden and a band of survivors have escaped President Briggs's invasion force. Their only options are to attack Briggs while his forces are delayed on the east coast...or admit that they've been beaten, and go into hiding. For Lee Harden, the decision seems obvious. But as disparate forces, factions, and loyalties begin to converge under the pressure cooker of all-out civil war, Lee is forced to confront not only insurmountable odds, but also the darkest parts of himself that he has left buried in the years since this all began.
The only way out is through. Greeley, Colorado lies before him. Griffin’s army presses at his back. Lee Harden is out of options, and out of time. Inside the city, Sam Ryder is trapped behind enemy lines, and Acting President Briggs still maintains his stranglehold on the country—and Lee’s destiny. Choices. We are made by choices. And they make us. Choices are being made by every individual swept up in this conflict. Abby—Sam—Abe—Brinly—Angela—all of them making choices, with irreversible consequences. And all of those consequences fall on Lee. As Lee fights to adapt and maintain control amid the chaos of a city under siege, all of those choices will reach their terminus, in this explosive conclusion to the Lee Harden Series .
It has been 6 years since plague, famine, and war ravaged the planet. World powers have collapsed. The human population has been reduced by 90%, and those that survived must always contend with a novel apex predator: human beings whose very DNA has been radically altered by the plague. In a quiet valley in northern California, a settlement of survivors called the Redoubt is threatened by Colin Horner, a savagely pragmatic ranch boss, whose land they’ve been squatting on for years. With barely any ability to defend themselves, all they can do is try to forestall Horner’s demands for a quantity of food they’re incapable of growing. But as the clock runs out for the Redoubt, a small group of heavily-armed individuals shows up out of the blue, led by a man with a scarred face and a missing eye. Lee Harden might be scarred and battered, but he is a professional warfighter, with years of near-constant combat experience, and one mission: find settlements beyond the current reach of the Interim Government, give them hope, and keep them alive. Backed by his longtime team of operators, Lee aims to resolve the conflict between the Redoubt and Horner. But something strange is going on in this seemingly quiet valley. Someone is breeding hybrids—part human, and part mutated apex predator—and using them as a weapon. When peace talks between the Redoubt and Horner go bad, Lee finds himself stuck in the middle of a seething conflict that’s about more than just land. As the valley devolves into chaos, Lee and his team gamble with their lives to unravel a convoluted network of lies, secret obsessions, and ties that bind. Who is it they’re protecting, and what exactly are they protecting them from? The Valley will immerse you in a world of gritty realism and slippery morality, filled with characters that just want to do the right thing—if they can figure out what that is. *** The Valley is a stand-alone novel based on the Universe built within The Remaining Series and The Lee Harden Series. The story falls chronologically after both of the aforementioned series. However, this novel can be enjoyed by those who have never read any of the other books in either of the previously mentioned series. *Readers can continue following this storyline by moving on to Sanctuary .*
Outnumbered. Outgunned. Out of time. Three scientists were sent to Virginia to investigate how a human settlement has managed to coexist with primals. Those three scientists have now gone missing. And apparently it’s Lee Harden’s job to find them, get them out, and–most importantly–retrieve their research. But if Lee has any hope of getting past the huge population of primals in the area, he’s going to have to enlist the help of someone he thought he’d seen the last of: a human-primal hybrid named Kat. On paper, it's a quick, in-and-out mission. And Lee, Abe, Marie, Sam, and Jones are not keen on getting involved. The whole thing stinks of intrigue, and frankly, none of them are interested in going into an unknown situation with a hybrid they don’t particularly trust. Unfortunately, they aren’t given an option. Someone in the Interim American Government is pulling some heavy-duty strings to get them involved in this operation. When Lee’s team–plus Kat–land in Virginia, they’re quickly swept up in a conflict where their allies might want them dead, and their enemies might be their only chance at survival. Isolated and cut off from support, Lee and his team race against a ticking clock to uncover the truth about the scientists, what’s so important about their research, and who–if anyone–they can trust. As the bodies stack up, and a complex web of lies and state secrets begins to unravel, Lee must decide how much the truth is worth to him. Because it might just cost him everything. ___________ A relentless post-apocalyptic military thriller filled with pulse-pounding action, explosive combat sequences, and unfiltered grit that will captivate veterans and action-lovers alike. * Coyote Song is a standalone novel based on the Universe built within The Remaining Series and the Lee Harden Series . *This story falls chronologically after Sanctuary , and is novel fifteen within The Remaining Universe.
