America is falling, ready to join the Roman Empire as a distant memory
in the annals of history. The year is 2027. Tired and desperate, the
American people are deep in the middle of The Second Great Depression.
The Florida coastline is in ruins from the most powerful hurricane on
record; a second just like it is bearing down on the state of Texas. For
the first time in history, the Middle East has united as one and
amassed the most formidable army the world has seen since the Third
Reich. A hidden army of terrorists is on American soil. This is the
story of three men: Howard Beck, the world’s richest man, also diagnosed
with Asperger’s Syndrome. Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped
convict. Maxwell Harris, a crippled, burned out Chief of Police of a
small Texas town. At first they must fight for their own survival
against impossible odds. Finally, the three men must band together to
save their beloved country from collapse.
Author Bio: Richard Stephenson was born in 1975 in Denison, TX and spent his
childhood in North Texas. In 1992, he graduated high school after only
three years. He then pursued his degree at Oklahoma Christian
University, once again accomplishing the task in three years. Richard
then married his best friend before going off to basic training to be a
military policeman with the US Army. With his new wife joining the
adventure, they spent the next four years at Fort Polk, LA and had two
children.
Just before his son turned five, Richard and his wife
were told that their oldest child had Asperger's Syndrome. Nine years
later, Richard's son would become the inspiration for the character of
Howard Beck.
After leaving the armed forces, Richard continued his
law enforcement career in the federal sector and has been with the
Department of Justice for eleven years.
Richard enjoys many
things. He reads constantly with the thanks of his trusty iPad. When he
can find the time, he can be found playing Mass Effect, Fallout: New
Vegas, or Modern Warfare 2. When a friend or a friend of friend needs a
computer fixed, Richard is on the case.
