Wreath of Fire — James Axler

TREACHERY REBORN
The nukecaust that gave birth to the garrisoned cities and the hellzones of the Outlands was the calculated stroke of a dark conspiracy that haunts humanity. Now, as this evil specter continues its secret war to conquer what is left of civilization, a dedicated group dares to expose the truth about earth's sinister overlords....

WILDERNESS WAR
A former enforcer of the new world order, Kane and his fellow exiles hazard the treacherous no-man's-land of what was once Utah. Here, a ruthless woman warrior with a reputation for scorched earth may become the ally they are seeking to expand their power base against earth's alien oppressors. Or she may be a doomsday force eager to destroy anything that interferes with her own quest for power.

In the Outlands, life is cheap. But death is free.
