A fictional WWIII starts and FBI Agent John Robert along with other agents, generals and captains such as Glenn and Amy Sledge must get to the bottom of all of this and try to stop a nuclear war from happening. (Book could be considered with Science Fiction or Action/Thriller).
This book describes a unique war that’s not caused by terrorists or an evil regime, but by a band of rebels. These rebels have one goal in mind and that’s to get their governments to fall into their extreme Communist ways. The form of Communism they promote is even stricter than that of the former USSR, thus prompting many nations throughout the world to oppose it. This band of Communists all come from twenty-four different nations, they were able to get enough members to create a large militia to attempt takeovers of their twenty-four nations. Twelve of the nations destroyed them rather quickly; however, the other twelve were not so lucky. Their governments have been either thrown out by the Communists or they surrendered to them. The nations that were overran by the rebels titled themselves, the “New Socialist Alliance” (NSA). In a retaliatory effort, the other twelve nations titled themselves the “New World Alliance Force” (NWAF). Their goals were to maintain the sovereignty of their countries and to economically and militarily protect one another. However, in 2016, the NSA attacked the NWAF which throws all twenty-four nations into a war. Soon afterwards, nations around the world start joining the war thus turning quickly into World War III. However, things are not always what it seems and the superpowers will soon find out that the contention between each other is the least of their worries.
Excerpt
From: Chapter 1
As the submarine submerged, Captain Novgorod was prepared to perform orders, “Diving Control, make your depth three-eight-zero feet.”
The person at Diving Control took the steering wheel and pushed it a little bit. As he pushed, the sub immersed lower into the water.
“Crew of the USS Florida, this is Captain Mallard here. Our orders come from the National Military Command Center; after reaching Bermuda, they want us to head Northeast towards Iceland and go through the Arctic Sea and come out between the Bering Strait.
Then they want us to go at lease 100 miles off Eastern Japan, because our spies have received reports of NSA Submarines getting ready to attack Japan. There have also been reports of enemy submarines in the Arctic so we need to stay alert at all times; for if we don't, we'll put our lives and the lives of innocent people in danger. Supervisors stay attentive and make certain that your crew is doing everything properly. Now, let's get equipped for the most crucial operation of our careers. We must do everything correctly; even making one diminutive mistake could take us to war. Now then, we're all set and ready to go; left full rudder, and diving control new course two-one-zero, all ahead full.”
The orders were followed and they are now headed for Bermuda. Once they are there, they'll set out full speed north of Bermuda to the Arctic Ocean.
