It continues: Black Powder Red Earth® [Awbari]

Awbari is burning. A failed state at war with itself. A failed revolution and a desperate struggle for power.

Two puppet governments, proxies of a totalitarian state and an energy hedge fund, trade countless lives for resources in billions of dollars. State-sponsored mercenaries and Islamist terrorists fight in an endless civil war to a stalemate. A stalemate marked by refugees, suffering, and mass graves.

To disrupt the jihadist ratlines into the country, a special forces team of private military contractors is formed to destroy the safe havens of the terrorists in the neighboring Qasra. As veterans of the wars in Syria and Iraq, they kill the zealots and the Chinese mercenaries controlling them in relentless attacks.

Intrigue unfolds within the emerging Awbari dictatorship. Generals, oligarchs, and tribal leaders vie for wealth and power – until a civil war threatens to destroy both.

Black Powder Red Earth® [ Awbari ] is a new installment in the renowned Black Powder Red Earth series. The series ruthlessly depicts a failed state at war, written and directed by Jon Chang and his new collaborator Paul Tibrius – a veteran of years in the GWOT. Josh Taylor returns as the artist and creates the most detailed and expressive artwork of the series to date.

Black Powder Red Earth takes the military thriller to the next level and is the definitive story of conflicts of the near future and "grey wars."
