Hello all! I'm back with another post as promised.
Today, I want to talk about two important plot lines (ALERT: a bit of spoiling): one for Empire Without End and another surprise one. Here goes nothing...
"Empire Without End" is a story about terrorism, vengeance, how-much-is-enough and leadership. The story begins with Amir Kaeef, the new emir of al-Qaeda. He has just recently assumed the position and he plans to make the U.S. pay for not allowing his family to live there. He devises a brilliant plan to attack DC and assume control of more than just is terrorist organization. We move along to Captain Bradley Rush, the leader of Marine Squadron 2214 (also known as Delta Marine Snow) who has a meeting with none other than our current president Obama, who informs him of an al-Qaeda broadcast that warns the U.S. of destruction. We next meet Finch, an orphan who has no one to care for him but his aunt, a nasty aunt albeit. He was formerly the son of CEOs, but after an anthrax attack, he was left parentless. He is twisted by revenge and hatred, longing to destroy his parents' murderer. Our plot line introduction concludes with the appearance of Delta Marine Snow in Chapter 5. The two men from this squad that are actually described in the chapter are Jasper Cloke and Blake Rowley, both complete opposites. Jasper is a stick in the mud, were as Blake is a optimistic and firm man. Along the way to their "home" (technically a mansion owned by a rich member of the squad), Jasper confronts an Iranian with a strange-looking briefcase. He figures out just in the nick of time that the man is a terrorist operative and kills him before he can shoot an innocent civilian.
This is still under construction. Hopefully, I can turn this into a trilogy of books about Amir, Delta Marine Snow, Finch and a whole host of other characters. I am going to post the second plot line in a post later today. Stay tuned!
