So is everything worth taking: fuel, food, and guns bought like sculpture by men who never learned to run them.Because out of Idaho, behind a preacher's voice and a wolf's-head flag, the Northwest Vanguard is marching.Against them stand one broken Marine Raider, a hired security force nobody should trust, and a mountain's worth of chefs, ski patrollers, lift mechanics, and billionaires with five weeks to become something no one believes they can be.Winter is coming down the Gallatin. The last chair out has already gone.Book One of the Pioneer Mountain series - for readers of One Second After and Black Autumn: a post-apocalyptic siege thriller where the gear is real, the tactics are real, and the mountain itself is the last weapon left.
