2nd Earth 2: Emplacement Edward Vought

Publisher Marketing: Jon and the other members of their settlement family are awakened by calls for help from the other groups. What they find is more than they were expecting. We have a radio downstairs, as well as the one upstairs and we are starting to get calls from some of the men in our group, telling us they are okay, but that was a close one. We are also getting calls from the other groups telling us that they ran into the same thing we did when they started to go to the Docs aid. While we are talking, trying to figure out what is happening; a voice comes over the radio that I have never heard before. He is telling us that we are surrounded and have no recourse, but to surrender. He tells us if we do that, he will allow us to take our personal belongings and leave. That is everyone except the women they decide to keep. The voice tells us that they intentionally fired not to hit the men the first time, but from now on they will shoot to kill if they see anyone or if we try to resist. Join Jon, Dayna, and the others as they continue to meet the challenges of living in a world where the only law is what they can enforce. Previously published under a two-parter 2nd Earth, now it two books: Shortfall and Emplacement.
