Jackson is always two steps ahead in their apocalyptic war, and Steele’s back is against the ropes.

Operation Homefront hinges on the successful training of the civilian population for war. Colonel Kinnick quickly finds that not everyone wants their help.The dead and the living alike march in a struggle for the ashes of a nation.
