From the New York Times-bestselling authors: the explosive story of a terrorist attack on American soil-on the biggest shopping day of the year.

On Black Friday, the American Way Mall is packed with holiday shoppers and bargain hunters. Suddenly, machine-gun fire rings out, and within minutes hundreds are dead or dying. Others are taken hostage by an army of fanatical Middle Eastern terrorists ready to blast the American Way Mall into a pile of rubble. But one man-Iraq War vet Tobey Lanning-refuses to go down without a fight.

Separated from his soon-to-be fiancée, Lanning finds himself on the frontlines of a new war against terror. With thousands of innocent lives at stake, Lanning assembles a makeshift platoon of Black Friday shoppers: a teenage security guard; a retired Chicago cop; a teacher who's never fired a gun; a young ex-con who has; a soccer mom; a priest; and a wheelchair-bound WWII vet . . .
