New Release Books by William Alan Webb

In the months since the raid that destroyed the transmitter, the Lost Soldiers have scratched out a permanent base on the world of R'Bak. But life in an often surprising and very alien binary system has not become any easier. Major Mara "Bruce" Lee's pregnancy becomes a powerful reminder of that: without special indigenous plants, she might lose both her unborn child and her life. And, in the process of securing enough of that rare compound, her friend and crew chief Elroy Frazier will have to risk life, limb, and mind. Meanwhile, under the guidance of Major Bo Moorefield, the Lost Soldiers are now spearheading the offensive of their indigenous allies throughout the wastelands known as the Hamain, even as the Sear approaches with its seven years of intense radiation and heat. Before it arrives, Colonel Rodger Young Murphy has laid plans for securing the information, weapons, and human capital necessary for the critical spaceside operations that will occur after the Kulsians' pioneer teams-the surveyors-arrive. The key to the success of the dirtside operations is to seize and hold Imsurmik, a major J'Stull-allied power center, thereby paving the way for Lieutenant Tyree Cutter and his specially trained team to search for the high value targets-citizens with knowledge of the soon-to-arrive Harvesters-that possess the information that will make it possible for Murphy's Lawless to surprise and overcome the approaching Kulsian invaders. Charged with identifying those high-value targets, newly-promoted Lieutenant Aliza Turan has been embedded with a group of locals inside Imsurmik's walls, where the risk of discovery is constant, and trouble lurks around every corner. Her mission-to find the necessary intel without attracting the attention of a fearsome warlord-may be the most dangerous of all. But all the risks facing El, Bo, Aliza, and Tyree are not just the price of success; they are the price of survival. Because if each piece doesn't fall into place, and at just the right time, there will be no way to survive the onslaught of the Kulsians-who will surely hunt down and exterminate every last one of the time-stranded refugees known as Murphy's Lawless.

Everything you don’t believe…is real. When the 9-11 attacks wiped out America’s government, and the timid remnants refused to commit the US military, patriotic mercenaries went abroad to hunt down those responsible. They were the LifeEnders, who executed the responsible terrorists on live pay-TV. Seeking to lessen the crime rate back home, the government allowed them to form LifeEnders, Inc., to perform contract killings for anyone who could afford to hire them. But only licensed Shooters could accept a contract, which ensured the government got their cut. After fighting overseas to avenge his wounded country, Duncan Steed built a lucrative LifeEnders franchise and lived well. Until he fell in love with the wrong woman. After that, nothing ever made sense again. When Steed breaks the one unbreakable rule of Shooters—for love, naturally—he quickly discovers that reality bears no resemblance to what he’s been taught. The first hint is when the orange rhino charges through a rip in the sky…

After War comes Pestilence. Foiled in their nuclear attack on New York, but successful in triggering the New Madrid Fault, the terrorist cabal bent on destroying America turns to Phase Two of their conspiracy: releasing a deadly epidemic inside the USA and framing Russia for the deed. As order breaks down and chaos sweeps across the nation, Agent Martinelli and her CIA colleagues race to ferret out the killers and stop them before millions die. Written with an immediacy and insight that only comes from Rear Admiral (ret.) John Babb's decade of experience preparing for just such a catastrophe, Unleashing Chaos is the second chilling prequel to William Alan Webb's Last Brigade Universe.

How do you stop mindless hate? By any means possible. In near-future America, CIA agent Angela Martinelli faces off against the North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un's plan to bring down the United States. With no thought about how his actions might affect his allies, Kim launched a plan of nuclear and biological terrorism against the United States, and now it's up to America's over-stretched counter terrorist forces to stop the state sponsored terrorism... if they can.The first volume of The Collapse races from crisis to crisis, trailing blood across the globe. From the barbeque pits of Memphis to the deepest vaults of the Pentagon, nobody and nothing is spared. Written by a man who investigated and planned for the very threats Martinelli fights to prevent, the driving force behind this relentlessly suspenseful thriller brings a realism that is terrifying because it is all too possible. Fans of William Alan Webb's Last Brigade series may think they know what's coming, but don't count on it.

It was all going so well for Nick Angriff and the 7th Cavalry... until it wasn't.When Angriff awakened in a world where America no longer existed, he vowed to resurrect his beloved country. Put in command of Operation Overtime and all U.S. forces in the post-American world, he assumed that everyone under his command wanted the same thing.But he was wrong. And now the forces arrayed against him have the power to crush freedom once and for all.With all of the twists, turns, deceptions, and action you've come to expect from a series that one reviewer called "the best I've ever read," Standing Before Hell's Gate begins the Showdown Trilogy, where Nick confronts his enemies in a final fight for control of Operation Overtime, while the rebirth of the American Republic hangs in the balance.

In the dying days of World War Two, when the fate of nations was being decided by the triumvirate of Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Josef Stalin, Hitler's Austrian homeland provided a scenic backdrop for the last stand of Army Group South. Killing Hitler's Reich, The Battle For Austria 1945, is the history of the bloody Battle for Austria in 1945. Austria's fate held major ramifications for postwar Europe and the entire free world, yet there is no complete account of the campaign written in English. Given the scale of the fighting and the scope of the consequences, this book fills a major gap in the literature of World War Two. On VE Day Army Group South listed 450,000 men still under arms in four armies. It was this massive force that made General Dwight Eisenhower change the entire focus of American ground operations to cut off Germans from retreating into the National Redoubt. Moreover, it was Austria not Berlin, that proved to be the graveyard of the Waffen SS. No less than 15 of Himmler's divisions ended the war there. And as the German war effort disintegrated into chaos, high ranking Nazis fled the dying Reich through Austria and into Italy. Some made it, many didn't. Killing Hitler's Reich follows the chase and capture of some of the most notorious, such as Himmler's Second in Command, Ernst Kaltenbrunner. Long overlooked by historians, Killing Hitler's Reich finally places this critical campaign in its proper historical place.

How one guy crafted a #1 Best Seller with only a computer, a bunch of dogs and coffee.Newly revised and re-written for 2020, the award-winning author of the smash hit series' The Last Brigade, The Time Wars, Sharp Steel & High Adventure, Task Force Zombie and Hit World, reveals his 40-year odyssey to overnight success with a thriving career as a novelist, military historian and active membership in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.The weather was sunny and warm, the coffee fresh, the dogs quiet for once and the reference book Bill needed for the day's work lay open to the appropriate page. Life was good. Nothing gave him any inkling that he was about to do something he hadn't done in twenty years, namely, write fiction. (You thought it was 'pass up a chocolate doughnut,' didn't you?)But that's what happened. (The career, not the doughnut.)Eight months after finishing the first draft of a brand new Military Sci-Fi series, Bill sold thousands and thousands of copies, while having to learn the brave new world of 21st Century Publishing. And if he did it, you certainly can, too.Query letters, literary agents, twitter events, facebook, they're all here as he learned all about publishing in the age of Indies, Amazon, and social media. Part memoir, part biography, part How-To-Sell and part cookbook. (That last might not be true.)The only regret he has about this book is that there aren't any talking ducks. That would have been cool.
