Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Bluegrass Compact has a charter, a radio network, and almost no power to enforce either. Its first war will decide whether it becomes a government or another promise buried with the dead.Colonel Silas Creed's Iron River Directorate offers western settlements food, fuel, and predictable law. Then it takes their workers and harvests. When Compact forces splinter under divided command, Daniel Mercer receives temporary emergency authority and a terrible strategic choice. He can open relief routes that may sustain Iron River, or close the region and let hunger weaken everyone inside.Among the trapped are hundreds of civilians and Daniel's son Noah, now leading an isolated field company. Laura demands relief. Emma records the names missing from official reports. A young radio operator keeps broadcasting from inside the sealed territory. Every day the blockade continues brings military victory closer and makes the Compact less worthy of surviving.The Price of Order is Book Twelve of The Ash Commonwealth, an extremely dark post-apocalyptic military and political thriller about war, family, emergency power, and the people a new state chooses to sacrifice. The series is intended to be read in sequence.
