Everything rests on the secrecy of the mission, but from day one, tongues are wagging.

Have you ever had someone give you the platitude that death is just a "natural part of life"? Christians know better. Death was never intended to be part of the human experience. Sin brought death into the world. It is a result of our disobedience to God and his ideal plan for humanity. Death is not natural. And no one knows that truth better than a forensic death investigator, who looks death in the eyes on an almost daily basis. Though the subject might sound macabre, the message is one of great hope for living a more abundant life and developing a closer relationship with God.

Every victory is its own defeat. General Rommond's efforts to amass technological superiority over the enemy has resulted in the creation of a weapon that could destroy everything, and a faction just mad enough to use it. The Armageddon Brigade has awoken from its deep slumber, and it seeks to wake the world with it. Attracting the brightest and most unstable of minds, this splinter group of the Resistance has become the greatest thorn in Rommond's side.

The Resistance has barely nursed its wounds from the recapture of Blackout, and now it's looking to another tougher target: the massive steam-powered railway gun known as the Landquaker, the sentry gun of the formidable Iron Wall. To conquer this rail-mounted cannon, Jacob and company turn to old allies and new friends, from the land-loving tribes to the land-roving biker gangs. They'll need every soldier they can muster.

The Resistance takes to the clouds aboard the Skyshaker, the newly completed airship aimed at dominating the heavens, when the land far below has become a hellish place ruled by demons. General Rommond fixes his attention on the city of Blackout, the old capital of the world, controlled by the Treasury, who are themselves controlled by the ruthless Regime. That center of the old civilized world will either shift allegiance to the Resistance, or it'll burn to the ground.

The Regime is on the hunt, forcing the Resistance to take refuge aboard the Lifemaker, an advanced submarine that houses a special cargo: a handful of women who can still give birth to human children. Locked inside his tin can prison, Jacob can no longer escape his role in the Great Iron War. He's forced to face life as a father, life as a soldier, and life beneath the deep blue sea. More than anything, he's forced to face himself.
