DRUMS OF WAR
About
They Survived the First Attack. But the Real War Is Just Beginning.
Bradley Adams thought his worst day was behind him—surviving a deadly workplace shooting that left him scarred and shaken. But when he learns his son is next in the crosshairs, he’s forced into a desperate race against time to save his family. The trail leads him to Chicago, a city on the brink of collapse after the deadliest mass killing in American history—and the horrors are just beginning.
Across the city, Bradley’s brother, James, a National Guard soldier, is recalled to help restore order. But as chaos erupts and faceless men in black flood the streets, James is torn away from his girlfriend and thrust into a deadly conflict where the rules no longer apply.
When martial law is declared, Chicago transforms into a war zone. Bradley fights to protect his family, while James follows orders to restore control—at any cost. As the city spirals into anarchy, the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of a nightmare.
One fights to save his loved ones. The other is ordered to stop him.
Will either of them make it out alive?
A heart-pounding thriller packed with explosive action, high-stakes suspense, and a terrifying glimpse into a world on the edge. Perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn.
