Synopsis

Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.  -Habakkuk 1:4

     Darkness has descended upon the world; the fabric of society has been torn asunder, sovereign nations collapse under their own burdens, once stable governments are ushered into revolution and allies of old are thrust into war. The tentacles of darkness have inevitably traveled across the Atlantic and are now tightening their grip on the American republic.

     Now, faced with a collapsing economy, a failing currency and a society that is swiftly casting its humanity aside, the United States stands at the precipice of a bedlam and malevolence not witnessed since the fall of Rome.

     Part 1 follows several characters who strive to navigate the chaos, including: 

Jake, his wife and brother are forced to flee the maelstorm of violence as it spills from the cities and into their small town enclave.

     A Texas State Guardsmen deep behind enemy lines on South Padre Island, stands with his compatriots against a wave of unspeakable atrocities committed by a ruthless cartel alliance committed to seizing the spoils of the American southwest.

     An outlaw and his Catahoula cur companion, learn to survive and even thrive in their river swamp domain as they seek a redoubt from the troubles that plague the world beyond.

     A radical revolutionary intent on plunging the wounded nation into revolution as he stokes the flames of hatred and destruction.

Prologue

Barrett

South Texas

The south Texas sun had long since been replaced by the dull light of the harvest moon, but the day’s arid temperatures still lingered.  The bright orange disk in the night sky appeared so close that one might reach out and touch it.  The wind had refused to blow for days, only serving to amplify the heat.  Despite the miserable conditions, they were relieved.  This would be their final patrol before they returned to their redoubt on the tip of South Padre Island for a much-needed respite.   

The members of the Texas State Guard’s First Regiment were indeed soldiers, but few of them had real combat experience prior to this.  The Alamo Guards were mostly known for their work in the aftermath of hurricanes and occasional support on the border.  They took their new role in stride, as best they could, but none of the men in the squad had signed up for action like this.  They had removed their name tapes early in the operation after reports surfaced that some of the soldiers’ families had received death threats.  Now, they communicated strictly with code names.
