American Inferno

America is burning-and the fire was never an accident.

When rising conservative voice Daniel Harrington is assassinated in cold blood, former Navy SEAL John Ryder knows it isn't just a political murder-it's the opening move in a calculated campaign to tear the nation apart from within. As riots ignite, panic spreads, and truth is drowned out by weaponized media narratives, Ryder and the covert operators of Task Force Lazarus are thrust into a war where chaos itself is the objective.

A hidden power known as The Fourth Estate is manipulating extremists on all sides-bankrolling violence, laundering propaganda through compliant media outlets, and turning Americans against one another. At the center of the storm stands Cole Stratton, the President's fiercely loyal head of security-code-named The Guardian-who uncovers signs of deep-state corruption linking Harrington's assassination to a series of devastating bioweapon scares known as Chrysalis.

As Ryder hunts the assassin called The Wraith, vigilante operative Jason Miller uncovers a terrifying alliance between cartel logistics and radical activist cells operating inside U.S. borders. With sleeper networks activating and institutional trust collapsing, President Ethan Mitchell is forced to authorize operations so deniable that failure means total abandonment.

But vengeance has a price.

And in a nation where truth is manufactured and panic is profitable, Ryder must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose to finish the fight his friend never got the chance to finish.

"I love this series!"
