Tying Up Loose Ends
(2024)(The fifth book in the NATO's Article 5 Gambit series)
A novel by Ira Tabankin
The war with Russia left Russia a wasteland, and America crippled. China attempted to take advantage of America’s situation she quickly learned that America wasn’t as toothless as it appeared. America struck China where it hurt them the most. China accepted the loss because she had a master plan to be invited to base her troops in the Northwest.
. Progressive liberals along the West Coast from LA to Seattle formed the People’s Republic of the West Coast. (PRWC) They were recognized and supported by China, who began basing troops outside of Seattle as a Forward Operating Base (FOB) for their planned invasion of the remains of America. Marine Colonel Nadel was tasked with kicking the Chinese off American soil and bringing the PRWC back into the union.
The President created a list of priorities to not only save the country but to return it to its former self as a superpower. The largest problem was deciding what to do with the cities. There weren’t enough resources to rebuild them, and the surviving population was needed to produce food, rebuild the grid, and water purification plants. His other objective was to encourage the pockets of survivors in the cities to leave them and move to farms. Many objected to both being moved and being forced to work in the fields; they made it clear they were entitled to food and clean water. Security in the ruins of the cities was a problem as gangs reformed and controlled vast areas surrounding the cities.
The issue of where to place the new capital was hotly debated. The original plan to base it in the mines under Kansas City proved to be more difficult than first thought. The mines were home to thousands of survivors who’d made the mine their home.
The president and his teams worked 18-hour days to tie up loose ends and pull the scattered towns of survivors into a nation. Of course, no plan survives first contact with the enemy and not all enemies are foreigners. The Warlord Letts left a small surprise hidden in Atlanta for the new government. Crockett's Delta Company was tasked with locating and neutralizing the surprise. A mission that could lead to the end of the company that had tracked Letts halfway across the battle scared country.
Genre: Thriller
