Dale Hardy, his daughter Brooke, and his nephew Colton along with Dale’s German Shepherd Duke are surviving outside of town on his family’s land in Arizona after a devastating virus has killed many of the population. Folks show up every day at their gate asking for food and water or try to steal it during the night. A corrupt mayor and Sheriff try to force Dale to give up everything he has worked for.
Webber’s first novel in the Defending Home series, Defiance has a little bit of everything from property rights to romance. The characters are well developed in the story is fast paced. The story is told from both Dale’s point of view and that of those that are against him.
The book ends with a cliffhanger that makes you want to read the next one.
4 out of 5 stars.
