Behind the front lines, in the ruins of Beverly Hills, the greatest treasure hunt of the war is about to begin.
It's the autumn of 2040, and the Hills lie deep inside the AIZ -- the Alien Incursion Zone. Four times humanity has tried to retake them. Four times the invaders have thrown them back. Then word leaks of a secret vault buried beneath the rubble, where the rich and famous once stashed their fortunes. For some, this temptation is too much to resist.
What follows is an all-out, high-stakes dash into enemy territory, where rival treasure hunters can be every bit as lethal as the aliens patrolling the ground. A private military contractor. A battle-hardened Army unit. A grizzled militia. And a pair of rogue ASHUR pilots -- all throwing caution to the wind in pursuit of treasure and glory. The Fifth Battle for Beverly Hills is on.
Book Five of the LAND&SEA series, Ratchet's Run brings a fast, ferocious heist-thriller edge to the alien-invasion saga with a cast of desperate, unforgettable characters.
In the AIZ, the only thing deadlier than the enemy is greed.
