America might be dead, but Nick Angriff will do anything to resurrect her.
Lt. General Nick Angriff has spent his adult life protecting family and country from a world of terrorism spinning out of control. On the battlefield, off the grid, in clandestine special task forces and outright black ops, Angriff never wavers from duty. But when a terror attack on Lake Tahoe kills his family, he’s left with only the corrosive acid of revenge… that is, until a hated superior officer reveals the deepest of all secret operations. Against the day of national collapse, a heavily-armed military unit rests in cryogenic storage, to be awakened when needed, and Angriff is named its commander.
Fifty years later he wakes to find the USA destroyed and predatory warlords roaming the ruins. Stalked by assassins bent on seizing his command for their own purposes, Angriff has to prepare for war while avoiding murder.
Because the only wall still shielding survivors from slavery and death are the men and women of The Last Brigade.
Fans of John Ringo, William W. Johnston's 'Ashes' series, and Michael Stephen Fuchs, will enjoy these books.
Reader s say about them that "they're absolutely addictive"..."maybe the best series of the past 10 years"..."as original as they are refreshing"... "I need more Nick Angriff."

Review
5 Stars "I'll say right here that Standing the Final Watch is excellent... The book has been finely edited; the story is cohesive and keeps moving; and the dialogue is spot on. If you're any fan of...Clancy or Greaney, even James Rollins or Clive Cussler, you're going to enjoy this book. There's just enough sci-fi to create an intelligent "What if?" scenario, and there are twists and turns enough that it's impossible to get bored. I couldn't put the book down, and honestly, I didn't really want to. Standing the Final Watch gets a strong 4 out of 4 Stars from me. This story is just well-told and enjoyable." Eric Morris, goodreads.com
5 Stars "I found this to be a great book with a common theme of many apocalypse type stories but with some great new twists and a great main character. General Angriff seems a bit like I imagine General Patton was and certainly 'apes' him with his Desert Eagle and attitude but I enjoyed his character. Certainly the twists with the suspended animation of all those soldiers is great but the sub-plots and twists keep the tension high." Ian Brown, Amazon Review
5 Stars "You will not want to put this book down. From its opening chapter to the very end, you will be drawn from one chapter to the next. Bill Webb is clearly an avid reader, historian and talented writer...Webb shows his deep respect for our military and his concern for our nation." Bart Bechtel, Amazon Review
5 Stars "The author has done a great job with this story. Characters are believable and are being well developed. Minimal editing issues. I'm really looking forward to part 2. The author needs a big attaboy for this story." Harry L. Skinner, goodreads.com "What I like the best about this book was the portrayal of the characters. I felt like I was in the novel and experiencing whatever the characters were experiencing. The author spent a good part of the book building up the relationships between the characters. All the characters, from the good guys to the bad guys, were crafted into believable and well-developed characters. Nick Angriff came off as a rough, but likable character. His best friend, Norm Fleming, helped to build up Nick's character by helping him with any problem that he faced. Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. Because of the suspenseful action scenes and the portrayal of the characters, I truly enjoyed reading this book. I would recommend this book to readers who like to read post-apocalyptic thriller books." Onlinebookclub.org
From the Author
First and foremost, thank you for reading my work.
When you spend your hard-earned money to purchase my book(s), it's a humbling experience. I feel a deep responsibility to give you the best books possible, not only in terms of plot, characters and narrative, but also proper word usage and grammar. This does not and should not imply perfection on my part. Far from it. However, whatever errors may creep into the work are regretted by the author, who asks forgiveness in advance.
My one and only intention for this and my other books is to entertain the reader. Perhaps to also inform, especially in my non-fiction, but information is only useful when delivered in such a way that it's remembered.
Readers are special people. I appreciate you all because I'm one of you. Books are my life, as my overflowing bookshelves will attest. Everything I have done in my life has led to this moment. From majoring in Creative Writing to absorbing military history over the last 50+ years, I have devoted my life to this book and all those yet to come.
I pray you feel the effort was worthwhile.
About the Author
Bill Webb writes under his full name, William Alan Webb.
Born and raised in Memphis, TN during the grimmest days of the Cold War, and surrounded by a family of military veterans, Bill seemed destined for Army life. An early memory of falling asleep watching the TV show "Silent Service" at age two, and reading Samuel Eliot Morison's Two Ocean War at age eight, show how steeped he was in all things military. That remains true to this day.
Then at age 13 he discovered what all teenage boys inevitably discover: Conan. Robert E. Howard addicted him to reading Fantasy within the first few pages, and The Lord of the Rings sealed the deal. Comic books only made the obsession worse.
Then came Heinlein, followed by Zelazny, and Pohl, and all the rest. From that point forward his life would never be the same.
College at the University of Memphis revolved around a Creative Writing major, and long nights sipping adult beverages at dim bars while discussing the deathless prose he and his friends would soon create. Insufferable self-importance and blind self-delusion are first cousins, after all. And to be fair, Bill attributes his ability to write (semi)coherent sentences to that program. Sadly, genre fiction received an automatic F in those days, which led him down many dark and dangerous paths until he finally found success in his writing career.
Living now in West Tennessee with a shockingly indulgent wife, Kathy, seven dogs and three horses, Bill responds to those who ask how he's doing with a cheery "living the dream." Most people who ask him that think he's kidding with that answer...he is not. He finds it hard to imagine living a better life.
