The Last Full Measure (Divided We Fall, Book 3) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In a YA trilogy like no other, Trent Reedy has raised the most primal questions of our national existence: Do we owe our greatest loyalty to our friends? Our state? Our country? Our party? How do we reconcile our individual rights and common needs? What keeps us all united -- and what happens if we fall apart? Now, in this third book, the Second Civil War has come to an end in Idaho. The Feds have taken the fight to other fronts, and Danny and his friends are free of U.S. dominance. But that freedom comes with considerable costs, from Danny's disturbing flashbacks to the war, to the Brotherhood of the White Eagle, whose "security" for Freedom Lake looks more like outright thuggery. After Danny makes a shocking discovery about the Brotherhood's final aims, he and his friends lead a group of townspeople on a dangerous journey across a ravaged Idaho, hoping to build a better society of their own, and fulfill the dreams they had in what once was the United States.

Author Trent Reedy's DIVIDED WE FALL Trilogy may just be one of the finest pieces of post-apocalyptic fiction I've ever read. With lifelike, believable characters who jump off the page, and a situation all too plausible in modern day America. 17-yr-old newly minted PFC Daniel Wright finds himself embroiled in controversy & events spiraling out of control all around him - all due to an Idaho National Guard Action which he took part in, that ended in tragedy. But no one, it seems, wants to hear what really occurred, preferring instead to blame The Guard for firing on "innocent protestors" when nothing could be further from the truth. Unfortunately, we live in a 24-hour news cycle, where sensationalism rules the day regardless the consequences. And political forces seek out scapegoats, foregoing the truth in order to make political points. Young Daniel seeks solace in his close-knit circle of high school friends as tensions escalate and the nation is torn asunder, as treachery lies around every turn, and their world suddenly becomes a very dangerous place. Finding & knowing someone to trust can cost you your life if you're not careful. In this, the last part of the trilogy, the U.S. is no more. Replaced by 14 separate entities. Many of them ruled by cruel dictators, as thousands starve & more are dying each day in open combat with both U.S. forces, and petty gangs, warlords, and racist components. As it races to a defining conclusion, what once seemed like a peaceful solution once again turns to tragedy & Daniel's world is shattered. But it also is the catalyst for him to become the uniting figure - rather than the polarizing one he's been for so long. It doesn't quite resolve everything. But it's a start. And the final message at book's end is one for the ages.
This trilogy is totally unlike anything that I've ever read before. I won't lie, I cried a lot reading this novel as well as the series. Very few novels I've read in my 23 years of life have ever made me cry. I loved this novel for it's powerful storytelling, banding together to survive a living hell and a lot of hardships along the way. Trent Reedy did an outstanding job on this novel! I will highly recommend anyone who has never read this series to start on it immediately. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
Great illustration of the different sides of war. Excellent ending to a really good series. Would have liked to see a "10 years later" glimpse at the state of the world and nuclear aftermath.
Everything about this book wraps the series up nice and tight. The whole series had me reading ravenously every time I got a new one. I'm glad I bought the first because I had 10$ left to kill on my Barns and Noble gift card. If you're considering not reading this, there is no reason not to. You've read the last two, prepare for the epic finale!
Through this book I couldn't help but see past the words. This book is very well written and is very enjoyable
