Islamic terrorists have had enough of America - it's time to strike and the best place to strike is a soft target - a public school.
Russia had learned the hard way the extremes these fanatics would go to… Ten years ago, Captain Yuri Shakirov stood in horror as young children were butchered by a hail of bullets from a group of Islamic extremists.
As blood spattered the walls of this small Beslan school, Yuri's greatest fear was that this tragedy would someday be repeated. Now America would encounter these same crazed murderers… All the terrorists needed was a place where they could descend, like the cowards they were, and strike terror into the heart of every American. An average middle school in California seemed the perfect soft target. The terrorists saw it and pounced. And Yuri was once again thrust into the line of fire.
It would take strong determination and courage to stop what had happened in Russia from happening here. The Americans need his help, but can Yuri find the strength to go through this nightmare again?
Reality!
“9/11 made every American acutely aware that they are not safe, and the repeated actions of lone crazed gunmen prove that schools are a constant soft target,” explains Beyer. “However my research and experience points toward the fact that large-scale organized terrorism could soon turn schools into arenas of bloodshed and that the first instance of this could be right around the corner.”
Continuing, “But don’t just take my word; media commentator and founder of Killology, Col. Dave Grossman, provided background expertise for this project. He constantly reminds the American public that such a school attack will happen - the date is not determined but all intelligence (FBI, CIA, INTERPOL) predicts that such a group as written in my novel will strike within the next few years. Ignorance won’t work; we NEED to prepare.”
Dr. Beyer makes it clear that he didn’t write his novel to trivialize or try to spin this threat into commercial entertainment; but to instead present the facts in a way that will resonate with the population.
“People don’t trust the media anymore and they rarely listen to the authorities. Literature is a great vehicle for allowing people to dive deep into topics they may not be acquainted with, and experience the emotion and internal discussion that can spur them into change. That’s the point behind this project; to raise awareness before it’s too late"
