By The Sword

by Td Barnes

Overview

By the Sword, Book Four of EMP Series, six years have passed since the EMP attack, the bombs, and the ensuing nuclear winter.
The war continues as survivors fight to restore peace against migrating jihadist extremists seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate.
The jihadists again attempt to take control of the Hoover Dam and Colorado River and are defeated by the survivors, this making Yucca Mountain a target that the Jihadists must destroy.
The survivors in Nevada realize that to survive, they must live by the sword. The survivors team up with an Israeli network engaged in tracking the Jihad's movements and field a preemptive strike led by Samantha against the caliphate. In the process, the strike rescues a band of Mayan farmers enslaved by the caliphate.
