Alliance

Ransom Doxie, megachurch pastor deposed on false charges, sulks alone in a garret where the tabloids can't find him. The former US Army Infantry LTC is now retired from his second career, but soon is tasked with an urgent new mission. He is sent to Northern Edge, Michigan, a picturesque but economically depressed village on the shores of Lake Superior, on the cusp of renewal. Ransom may be the sole heir to the jewel of Hazard Bay, Bastion Isle. He has orders to defend it and protect its secrets, but he can't do it alone. Who knew the beautiful people staffing a mysterious company headquartered outside Northern Edge were demons reanimating human flesh? They want Ransom's island for their own, and they would kill to get it. Building an alliance, Ransom is using every military skill he's ever learned, and a few new ones, as he leads his small army into battle. There will be conflict. There will be thrills. There even could be love. But what makes Bastion Isle so desirable? Are Ransom and the alliance willing to pay the price his mission demands? Will it end up costing him his life?
