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.

Terrorism at Home

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

I understand this is a work of fiction, but William always have based his work on some truth. This was written so well I could live it. In some ways I am living it. I hope our country is ready when the war comes. I live in Louisiana and am under a Governor who remind me of someone in your book.

I am retired United States Air Force. I enjoy reading your books and always, always enjoyed reading anything William W. Johnstone wrote. I keep everyone of his books I get. Some books I buy for other ex-military to read. You keep writing and I will keep buying them.

This book hit home. I hope the people who read it will really READ it. It is wonderful. Thank you.

If you love God, guns, and community - pray the book isn't prophetic.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Some novels have been prophetic, like Orwell's "1984." One prays this one is not, but there are many folks in the fly-over states hoping it isn't a preview of the near future because the vision is horrific. Hardline progressives will hate it because it pokes far too hard and too close for comfort.

The story line could be ripped from the headlines this week with terrorism in the Middle East and middle America. (Oklahoma beheading.) If the plot rings true to you, consider moving to Texas. If it doesn't, you aren't going to appreciate much about the book.

Take the headlines from the past 7 years and fast forward another 10. You'll be ready to dig in. Warning: if you're one of those backwards people who cling to God, guns, and love of community - this book may bring your blood to the boiling point. If what you are afraid might be the truth behind the rumors surrounding Washington, you'll be more afraid when you finish the book.

This is a book you're going to like or hate based on your world-view. There are good guys and bad guys. Unfortunately, there aren't many left who cling to God, guns, and love of community. The author takes big swings at the liberal media and politicians. Tragically, the blows are well-deserved. In the 1950's we learned that Washington was rife with Communists. The question readers will ask after reading the book is, "Is Washington now rife with radical Islamist moles?"

Some readers will be gratified to know they aren't alone with such concerns. The question becomes, who can you really trust?

Great read

I am very concerned as I read this book that it is not the end, not a time of peace for John Howard, not a time of peace for America.
I remember Ben Raines in the beginning realizing how this country is changing, how this country is not living out the dreams of our forefathers.
So I hope that this story is not a foretelling of things to come, though I always worried about a certain women president from In the Ashes
Who destroyed that America.
Well done William, and not a fore telling.

While the book was well written. I had too much blood in it for my taste. Although I believe we are heading toward serious problems that DC and the state governments are avoiding. I think the terrorist stories are for the most part enjoyable, this book went too far. I won't stop reading the Johnstone books but there has been something missing lately.

WELL WRITTEN AND WORTH READING

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

A most enjoyable read. Again, as in his past books in this series, more truth than fiction. The liberals are taking over our county and making a mockery of The Constitution. I, and other Texans and Conservatives truly know and believe that radical Islam does cause a threat to our Christian freedoms here in America. This author brings to light in an excellent way what could actually happen. The author has a way of making fiction become real life. A must read for all that love true adventure stories.
