"Our Duty is to be Ready...
The eclectic band of friends and strangers grows. The chasm between what is legal and what is right continues to expand in proportion to the decline of civility. And Phil’s heart is broken from tragic loss...
Even in the fresh pain of the recent events, he learns an old friend has fallen to the actions of a decaying society. Fueled by both compassion and over-confidence, Phil ventures into the greater Slaughter County area for answers—why are those he cares about perishing? To what end? Who does he have to make pay?
In the shadows of the disasters, two new threats grow. One, almost a cliché, as a local emergency manager stretches the boundaries of her power. The other, almost too hard to believe, as a ruthless cartel organizes in the background. And across the Puget Sound, like-minded, good-hearted Americans of every background are forming up to protect their communities.
Will Phil clear his head before his drastic actions get himself or others hurt? Who will step up and remind those who would grab power in not to push the folks who just want to be left alone?
Order Divested is the action-packed, explosive, second book in the Cascadia Fallen trilogy.

"Nobody was ready... for this...
A wounded, widowed, former Marine. A volcano triggered by the 9.0 earthquake they always said would happen. How long until society—the just, the criminals, everyone in between—realize that government just became inoperable for months... or years...?
Phil Walker was already nearing his rope’s end. After losing his wife to cancer and his leg to a tragic incident, he spends his days wondering how to improve his relationship with his adult kids and running his local gun club. But when the largest unfathomable disasters in recorded history slam the Pacific Northwest like an apocalyptic hammer, he is thrust into a role he has never prepared for.
Worried not just for his small family but for his larger collection of friends and community, he establishes an impromptu refugee camp at the gun range. Shelter, food, water, security—what was once almost a given, is now in critically short supply. While Phil struggles to keep his group organized, his kids face their own challenges in the new, dark and desperate world—and those with no morals see those same challenges as opportunities...
The ports and highways are broken. Relief organizations can’t even begin to mount an impactful response. How long until Phil and his allies must become the new beacons of hope and order in the chaotic world?
Not if... But when...
