"It's no longer hand to hand combat. It's not longer who has the biggest guns. It's minds against minds, it's science against science, it's strategies and tactics. You're not going to survive this war if you aren't willing to sacrifice the few for the many." The Great General pushes his shoulders back and stands to his full height. "Are you with me, my son, or against me?"
Seth Dane stands at a crossroad when he discovers how his father, a former biological geneticist turned politician and war hero, brought his home country though a terrible war. For several years after the conclusion of the overseas war there was peace, until a civil war erupted between the military and it's supporters and the opposing population. Faced with the horrifying truth surrounding the circumstances of his father's victories, Seth either stands with his father as he has for years, or embraces the truth.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it?

I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
