Famine took to it's task, spending over a century, to suck the life and soul from the earth. Yet humans still warred and killed each other, the presence of the servant War, becoming nothing but an excuse for people to excise their demons upon one another. The wonders of the Time of Plenty were gone, humanity had been reduced to a period three hundred years past, a time of dust and death, . War manipulates his pieces and Famine spreads his worth throughout the land as Conquest bears witness to what he initiated. He watches without amusement for such is not within him nor within his kin, he watched only to see if his influence was again required before he retired to that place between realities. The last battle comes, the battle where humanity will face the demons that have plagued their existence since before the moment of creation. One will survive, but only until the Pale Horse arrives, for upon him rides Death.

The crew has split. Toby has been placed in charge of a small group headed north to combat the Great Lakes Navy whose M.O. is to acquire all remaining resources and peddle flesh. Americans young and weak have become their currency, their objects of dominance. Ian and Kinsey are still on mission to get to D.C. accompanied with new recruits from Mingo Junction and Albuquerque. Both groups trying to restore a little bit of sanity to a world that won't cooperate.While Toby finds bands of fighters still ignorant to the existence of intact portions of the military. Nor did they have comprehension to the invasion force that threatens their very right to exist. Ian and Kinsey in the east are finding beasts of a whole different nature. The invasion is on in full force, American's are under manned and being assailed on all sides. Infected continually plague their movements as evil floods their city with well-armed yet undisciplined warriors hell bent on killing every American who survived the plague. Making it the responsibility of the very few survivors left to stop the evil on all fronts. United we could stand and divided we will fall making it imperative that we stay INDIVISIBLE. Five Roads to Texas is a collaborative project with authors; Allen Gamboa, AJ Powers, Brian Parker, Rich Baker, WJ Lundy and Joseph Hansen.

The age of plenty is dead. Wars and rumors of wars-from economic collapse to cult driven genocide. Flesh eating cannibals were blamed but no one really knew the truth, no one really wanted to know the truth. Where there was once life and hope there is now only suffrage, where the remnants; struggle onward, attempting to squeeze something of worth from a dying world.Every decade brings a new war, new battles and conflicts from newly formed factions-ideologies that were previously unknown. False profits attacking and manipulating the masses, small groups of people claiming to be nation states banding together to form the next new world, all swearing oaths to support the original founding documents that had once made this country exceptional.Once again man's most hated foe is man, the great destructor, takers of life and crushers of hope. Slavery has returned to the world, though it recognizes no color or faith. Mankind has doomed itself to rot within pitiful squabbles for control, until our icons of old arrive to scourge the earth of its most devastating parasite.The Western United feels it's ready to square off against the Eastern Confederacy, this time... it will be to the end. Hopefully it will be an end, one way or another. Someday my lever-action will break and my carbine will grow cold. Until then, I will just do what I do and pray that I am on the right side of history.

Dave Brandstetter’s best days are behind him, but for the sake of a frightened child, Dave takes on his very last case. The wear and tear of a life spent pursuing the truth into harm’s way is catching up with Dave. In fact, it has already caught him. The aged death claims investigator is old enough for his body to hurt even without all the compiled injuries he’s sustained throughout his career. Yet when presented with a puzzle-like mystery, Dave can’t help but be drawn in. Walking on the beach, a friend finds a bedraggled child who claims he has witnessed a murder. The victim is a drug-addicted pop star, and the obvious suspect is the dead man’s ex-girlfriend—a drug addict whom the child saw standing over the body, gun in hand. In the final installment of Joseph Hansen’s groundbreaking series, Dave looks for justice once more, hoping that he will also find a lasting measure of peace. Over the course of twelve novels spanning four decades of American culture—from the 1960s to the late 1980s—Joseph Hansen gave readers one of the truly great heroes of detective fiction.

Hansen offers the final novel of his epic mystery series--an intricately-plotted story of action, irony, and twists. Dave Brandstetter comes to the aid of an old friend and ends up investigating a case that involves child abuse, drugs, AIDS, and victimization of the elderly.

Brand executives face two key questions in addressing the Amazon marketplace: 1.Will the brand be sold on the Amazon Marketplace? 2.If yes, then what distribution approach makes most sense for the brand? As we discuss throughout the book, the decision regarding whether the brand will be sold on the Amazon marketplace is not always solely within a brand's control. It's better to start with the assumption that any popular brand's products will eventually show up for sale on Amazon, whether the brand wants those products there or not. The second question is more complex for brand executives. At its core, this question represents a pivotal "fork in the road" that we call the Amazon Marketplace Dilemma. That choice is: Sell TO Amazon vs. Sell ON Amazon. Which of these paths a brand chooses-and the distribution strategy it employs in that domain-will determine a brand executive's issues, challenges and priorities. Either option will impact the brand executive's ability to control their brand strategies (e.g., pricing, brand content, marketing, etc.), to generate profits, and to create a stable cadence for managing activities on the Amazon marketplace channel. In our book, we uncover the many considerations involved in developing and implementing the right Amazon distribution strategy for a given brand.

Hansen presents the ninth thrilling mystery featuring homosexual insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter. This time, Dave tracks down a serial killer whose last victim was left on his doorstep. "Well plotted and well written".--New York Times Book Review.

"While investigating a suicide, Dave Brandstetter discovers a dead reporter's final scoop ... Journalist Adam Streeter covered some of the most dangerous stories of the last quarter century, ranging from Cambodia to Siberia and anywhere troubled in between. Fearless, dashing, and more than a little resourceful, Streeter was renowned as much for his virtuosic writing as the shocking reality of what he uncovered along the way. Why would someone who lived so purposefully and with such demonstrable bravery turn a pistol on himself? Insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter has seen enough suicides to know this isn't one. Suspecting treachery, he digs into Adam's last story--an unpublished investigation into the whereabouts of a vanished South American strongman, called El Carnicero, the Butcher--and finds that Adam's death shows every hallmark of his bloody style. Dave quickly realized that some very powerful people would like him to drop the case. Dave's own lover, Cecil, would like to see him take it easy for once. But Cecil knows Brandstetter is not so unlike the man whose death he's investigating. The truth, to someone like Brandstetter or Streeter, is worth the ultimate price. As he attempts to finish Adam's story and get to the bottom of the journalist's death, Dave will find more than a few people willing to make him pay it"--

"Dave Brandstetter, a California private investigator specializing in death claims, uncovers a toxic conspiracy while working a case in a neighborhood plagued by violence and inequality"--

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DAVE BRANDSTETTERDeath claims investigator Dave Brandstetter navigates the opposing realms of evangelical Christianity and the porn business while tracking a lost girl in late 1970s Los Angeles. Lon Tooker certainly fits the profile: big, strong, a Marine Corps veteran, and recently the target of evangelical crusader Gerald Dawson’s wrath. Tooker’s adult toys and pornography store on the local skid row has recently become the target of Dawson’s church men’s group and their destructive masked raids on “un-Christian” businesses. When Dawson is strangled to death by someone of Tooker’s size and ability, the police see a smut-peddler with a motive. Case closed. But death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter doesn’t like it. By all accounts Tooker is a softy incapable of such a crime. Actual evidence is nonexistent and assumptions many. And Dave particularly doesn’t care for assumptions based on someone’s sex life. But Dave is also navigating new personal territory. His father’s death has left him bereaved and for the first time in a long time without a job. Dave quit the insurance company his father built and has struck out on his own as a private investigator. Add in his breakup with his recent partner and he’s a man unencumbered. It’s the late 1970s and Dave may be aging a bit but he’s still handsome, wealthy, and recently in possession of a new convertible Triumph. Looks like it’s not all hard work.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DAVE BRANDSTETTERA cult leader named Azrael perpetrates a brutal mass murder and afterwards a slimy lawyer is trying to claim the life insurance policy for his missing daughter; it''s the early ''80s in Los Angeles and private investigator Dave Brandstetter has a new love in his life as exciting as this case is dreadful.

Thinking his daughter has been murdered, Charles Westover claims her life insurance, and then he too vanishes. Insurance companies don’t like to cut a check without a body and especially don’t like cutting a check to someone who is also missing. Hired as a private investigator for Banner Insurance, David Brandstetter quickly finds himself in a complicated maze of lies and hidden histories. And Dave suspects that, just like in the labyrinths of old, there will be a monster at the end of it.   It''s not all bad times and extreme hazard for our man Dave. A passionate romance has entered his life with the reappearance of Cecil Harris, a handsome young African American investigative reporter for the local news station looking to get to the bottom of a different kind of story.
