War! All Gordon Van Zandt wanted was to find a safe place for his family to settle down after civilization came to an abrupt end following the detonation of a super-EMP over North America. Through hardship and loss he found a sanctuary in the mountains of Idaho; however, the realities of the new world again come crashing down when his brother, Sebastian, is murdered by a deranged U.S. Army officer hell-bent on crushing a secessionist movement Gordon had no part of. Forced to take sides in a conflict he sought to avoid, he comes to realize that if his family is to have peace, he'll have to go to war to secure it.
With revenge in his heart and an army at his disposal, he goes on the offensive against the very country he once swore an allegiance to defend. President Conner's forceful determination to prevent the country from fracturing only hastened it. Faced with all-out war against the newly formed Republic of Cascadia in the Northwest and with other secessionist movements gaining steam, he discovers he's an isolated man with few options for victory. War is hell and now many will find out how true that is.
Blood, Sweat \u0026 Tears (The New World #5) Reviews
-
Building up to be one of the very best post-collapse America series'. Tradjedy and triumph follow Gordon Van Zandt and his family throughout his story as the leader of Cascadia's military forces. The saga has gone from one man's struggle to survive the collapse to the struggles of a fledgling nation fighting for freedom and independence. Just as it was in the first four books, the characters, plot, events and even the framing device are perfectly crafted.
Just when I thought the tale would be coming to an end, this installment sets the stage for at least a couple more parts. This series stays true to the motto of "always leave them wanting more." -
This entire series is an excellent way to begin enjoying the works of Mr. Hopf. There is no drag. There is no lull. The books in this series are constant, invigorating, and addictive! Each book adds to the story in such a crucial way! Very entertaining and a wonderfully sobering read. Mr. Hopf continues to evade any 'reader disappointment' by creating an intricate and complex story about his characters, their focus, and their humanity. Very well written and a sincere pleasure to read!

I'm a little bummed it was shorter than I recall the previous books being and 30 pages devoted to previews for other books. However Hopf writes a damned good story, and this was still a good read. Love this series.

Hemm, somehow loosing a bit interest in this series. To simple writing and storyline. I will try the next one since we are closing in on the ending.
-
A little slower paced than the previous books, but clearly setting up an action packed follow up.

Keeps getting better
I like his style. He keeps it interesting all the way along and still has room for surprises. The heroes don't always win.
