Following the invasion of a year earlier Brad Stone has become the figurehead of the Alaska resistance movement, and head of the largest militia in the former state, including the Chiknik Rangers, making him enemy number one to the Chinese leadership based in Anchorage. At the same time, his sons, Ben and Ian, find themselves waging a bloody guerilla operation against Russian troops in the east. Unknown to any of them, Brad's wife, Youngmi - whose mangled, dead body haunts Brad's dreams - has become the mistress of General Zhang, head of the Chinese forces in Alaska... and a major player in the resistance movement, passing on information that could mean her real death if she is caught.
