Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

A fast-paced, suspenseful story of revenge, rebellion and the death of freedom. In a possible future, America’s collapse doesn’t come from an outside enemy but starts with the greater danger within. The cancer of injustice, hatred and division infects the United States. The newly formed Nationalists Party seeks secession by targeting major cities with home-grown terrorism. Their charismatic leader declares war by invading and occupying Texas. After a military coup in Mexico, the new dictator joins the rebels. In America’s darkest hour, following the detonation of the first of five nuclear bombs, a transmission is received from a mysterious woman, code name Alpha Charlie. She has vital intel on the rebellion’s secret operations. Is it a trap or a way to stop this nightmare? War brings together two unlikely, combative allies, a feisty resistance fighter, Charlene ‘Charlie’ Perea and a battle-hardened, Army Ranger, Colonel David Cougar. Cougar’s mission is to get Charlie’s information to his superiors. But Charlie is not about to abandon her personal fight. She neither needs nor wants Cougar’s interference. Cougar must convince Charlie to link forces before the final invasion begins.

The greater danger within

For all the reforms and good intentions, human nature stays the same no matter how many wars we fight. There are still those who dominate others with disrespect and intolerance. The seeds of division and discord find a foothold once more. Laws are instituted for government's control and not the people. People choose sides and social status, ignorant of what once was… equality for all; a free and independent people willing to fight and die for liberty. Sadly, the past is forgotten, and therefore, doomed to be repeated by a new generation who had not learned its lessons. Things come full circle. In doing so, therein lies once more… the greater danger.

The greater danger within.

I found the idea for this story in the pages of my newspaper. It made me stop and think...what if. History shows us that Americans are totally united against an outside enemy, but what if the enemy is our next door neighbor? When the cancer of ignorance, bitterness, radicalism and injustice infects a nation, power-hungry leaders on both sides can and do capitalized on the growing fires of hatred to further their own ambitions. Filling a need for order, a charismatic leader emerges at just the right time, with the right message to masterfully use his followers’ blind faith and propagate his twisted ideology, satisfying his thirst for revenge and power. When we choose to hide, ignore and not speak out, we give up our freedoms. It doesn’t matter what politics you subscribe to when there is hate on both sides. That is the greater danger we must fear and fight against. This story is about civil war and rebellion, but it is also about individuals caught in the crossfire as they battle their own demons of revenge, remorse and redemption, willing to do anything to survive. To save the soul of the Union, Americans must learn a nation cannot heal itself, until its people first heal themselves.
