As the pandemic and war rages on, the Sovereign of the UTA vows that the government of the Territorial Republic of America will suffer greatly for their seditious act of secession. However, The Republic is not the only government that the Sovereign has to contend with. World governments have warned the Sovereign that failure to eradicate the deadly SRV-47.d virus will have severe consequences for America. Unrelenting in their dedication to remain free, The Republic refuses to yield to the UTA. Amongst the soldiers of The Republic are four high school friends, who have managed to survive one bloody battle after another, and have earned four field promotions along their way. For their heroism under adverse conditions at the Battle of Dubuque, they are reassigned to the Ari-Cal-Nev Garrison that guards the Hoover Dam. Four years into the pandemic and civil war, the inevitable happens. Countries around the globe launch a massive coordinated missile strike against America in an effort to eliminate the virus the Sovereign refused to get under control. Surviving the extermination from inside the depths of the Hoover Dam, 1SG Logan Ross and his three high school friends soon discover there is no more war to fight and most likely no more virus to contend with. The four of them head to their childhood home of Delhi in the District of New York. Joining them is civil engineer and soldier CW2 Milan Crncevic. Along their cross-country journey, the group is faced with adverse weather conditions, hostile survivors, and tragic loss, but nothing as deadly as what they discover upon returning home. A group called the Scavs have taken over the area and are hell bent on capturing Jessica Miranda, Logan\u2019s former childhood crush, who has become the leader of a band of survivors taking refuge in the nearby town of Walton.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Determined to discover why the Scavs have taken such an interest in Jessica, and how they know so much about the inner workings of the survivor town, Logan must uncover the truth in order to help Jessica\u2019s people defeat their enemy. Except what Logan discovers is more sinister than just a simple band of hostile marauders. Their victory or defeat at Walton could determine the fate of the rest of their ravaged country, and the freedom they have fought so selflessly and valiantly to keep.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Snippet 1:<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Seventeen-year-old Daniel Troy\u2014Danny as he preferred to be called\u2014saw them coming the moment they entered the empty parking lot. At the speed they were approaching he had no reason not to believe they were aggressive. He opened up the truck\u2019s driver door and stood behind it, using it for cover as well as to conceal the rifle he was holding. Danny grabbed his 2-way radio and called to Jessica but she didn\u2019t respond. The three vehicles came to a halt about 25 yards from him. The moment the occupants exited their vehicles they opened fire, pelting the door Danny was standing behind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">There was more than a dozen of them pushing forward, but Danny noticed there was something odd in their behavior. They moved forward seemingly with disregard for their lives. As if they were unafraid to die. Plus, they weren\u2019t even bothering to make a speedy attack. They lumbered forward as they fired but many of the shots seemed to be wild. As they drew closer Danny opened fire but he hadn\u2019t got more than a couple of burst off when his rifle jammed. \u201cTurd-sticks,\u201d he cussed. He knew he had to do something dramatic in both evasion and to get Jessica\u2019s and Donna\u2019s attention. Danny jumped in the truck and started the ignition. As he looked out his windshield a few rounds pelted the safety glass but Danny didn\u2019t even flinch. He was too transfixed on the people coming toward him, if that\u2019s what they still could be called. They were gross looking. They looked like wax statues that had been put out under a hot summer\u2019s sun to melt. Well, perhaps that was an over exaggeration, he thought. But certainly, their skin was all droopy, like really old people with that loose skin condition. In addition, from what he could tell, they also had some open growths on their flesh which added to the gross out factor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Snippet 2:<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Looking at his watch, the man announced, \u201cTimes up. So, what\u2019s it going to be?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Donna shouted back, \u201cYour answer is on the way.

I heard you came back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cHoly stink pickle, it\u2019s David Katzby!\u201d Logan replied with genuine surprise. \u201cDid your little band of butt monkeys miss the turn off to Sturgis?\u201d he rudely remarked, and then needled David with another crass quip. \u201cYou need to turn around and go up the Fudge Freeway&#8230; No? Doesn\u2019t ring a bell?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">If it had been anyone else that had come demanding Jessica\u2019s surrender, Logan would have never pitched his insults. But it was Katzby his former bandmate, and why he was involved with the marauders confounded Logan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Katzby didn\u2019t react to Logan\u2019s sarcastic comments. Instead, he got right to business.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cJessica\u2019s not home, huh? Well, I got some news for you. I know that\u2019s a lie. Now you\u2019re going to give me what I want or there\u2019ll be hell to pay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cThere are families in here,\u201d Logan reminded him. \u201cThere are children and the elderly in here. People that you know are in here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cAnd that\u2019s exactly why I\u2019m giving Jessica the opportunity to give herself up, along with all the food in the granary and all the weapons in the armory. Oh, yeah, and while we\u2019re at it, we\u2019ll take the Two Guys truck with us, too. You can have Benny drive it out to me.\u201d David told him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cOh, I don\u2019t think so.\u201d Logan returned.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">David reminded him, \u201cI got 30 people with guns with me.
