Stand Your Ground

By J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone, J A Johnstone

Book Overview

In this action-packed thriller set in present day Texas, legendary authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone show they know what it takes to fight for the red, white and blue...

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, out-numbered and out-gunned, won't back down.

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

Stand up for your rights!

The Johnstone's know how to make thrillers that hit close to home, and leaves you with plenty to think about. A Democratic president does one of the more dangerous and stupid things he can find, closes Guantanamo Bay and brings the terrorists to America's prisons to await trial in civilian court. A prison out in Texas called "Hell's Gate", and the terrorists fellow combatants plan an invasion of the town and a siege on the prison. This leaves the locals, the prison staff, and the prisoners themselves to face off against the invading horde out to soak American soil with American blood. The book is an edge of your seat thriller, and also a warning to us as a people. Read it, and be warned.
