War in America Book One
(2027)(The first book in the Task Force Zombie Third Squad series)
A novel by William Alan Webb
Europe is burning, America is next, and someone in the chain of command just sent Third Squad to Houston without expecting them to come back.
NATO is a memory. Germany has fallen. Britain is in flames, and what's left of the Western alliance is fighting a rearguard action nobody believes it can win.
Third Squad made it home from Europe carrying evidence of a bioweapons conspiracy that reaches from a classified facility in Tennessee to the highest levels of the American government.
They expected to rest.
They expected answers.
They expected someone to act on what they brought back... and someone did.
But not the way they expected. Instead of praise and validation, they got Houston.
Led by a self-proclaimed New Prophet, The Islamic Revolutionary Coalition is fighting for control of America's fourth largest city, to control the port, the refineries, and the approaches to the Gulf. The federal response has been paralyzed by war across the globe, and the same fractured command structure that nearly killed Third Squad in Germany. Someone in that structure, the same someone who tried to leave them dead behind Russian lines, has just cut orders sending Third Squad into the city. The mission parameters are thin. The exit strategy is thinner.
Some people are sending them to win. Some are sending them to disappear. Captain Wyatt "Judge" Stone doesn't yet know which set of orders is real.
Meanwhile, in Oak Ridge, Dr. Donna Mader is fighting a different war. Operation Timekeeper is still contested ground, Yates's biobank sits untouched in Laboratory Three, Adder remains on station for reasons nobody will put on paper, and the power struggle between the Consortium, the President's office, and General Steeple is accelerating toward a conclusion that will determine whether what's left of the American government serves the people or the men who bought it.
Third Squad is in the streets of Houston.
Mader is in a building full of people who want to control her... or worse.
General Tom Steeple is running out of moves.
And whatever Henry Yates built in Laboratory Three is still running, still cold, still waiting for the moment its purpose becomes clear.
Task Force Zombie Third Squad: War in America, Book One continues directly from the events of War in Europe. For readers of fast, action-packed military thrillers with high stakes and a reckoning that's been building since the first page of the series.
The war followed them home. It always does.
Genre: Thriller
