Joining the military had seemed like the
right thing to do, but when war breaks out in Europe Robert wonders if he
hasn’t made the biggest mistake of his life. The Russian juggernaut grinds its
way toward Italy ,
the country Robert has grown to love. As one of a handful of American soldiers
in the area, he must find a way to help the ragged remnants of NATO’s forces to
prevent any more European nations from falling.
While back home, the rest of the Williams
family struggles to protect themselves in the face of an impending civil war.
The very fabric of society continues to unravel, threatening the destruction of
the Constitution and the American way of life.
As Vice President, Calvin McCord continues
to defy both sides of the political divide in order to find a solution to the
war in Europe , the ravaging of the United States ,
and an espionage ring within the White House.

In this scene Robert
is assigned to work with the demolitions experts in the unit.
“Gentlemen,
this here know-nothing private is Williams,” Wojcik said, indicating Robert.
“If you have anything dangerous that needs to be done—use him. There are more
privates where he came from, but we would have to pull a lot of strings to
replace either one of you.”
“Understood,”
said Shaw, with a deep voice that sounded a bit like someone gargling with
boulders.
The
two N.C.O.s glanced at Robert and then gave one another a
what-are-we-going-to-do-with-him look.
As
Robert stood there, nervously waiting as the N.C.O.s conferred with one
another, he examined the equipment in the back of the Humvee. Blocks of what
appeared to be clay had wires coming out of them. Then it dawned on Robert that
these were explosives. “You’re the demolition experts.”
“That
we are,” Shaw rumbled.
Cohen
gave a single nod, his creepy eyes remaining fixed on Robert.
“What
am I going to be doing?” Robert asked.
Both
of them laughed.
“You’re
going to help us blow up an embassy,” said Shaw.
“Ours?”
Robert asked.
“Yep,”
said Shaw.
“I
thought we were going to clear out the debris so we could rebuild it.”
“Change
of plans,” said Shaw, loading explosives into a backpack. “This is the second
time terrorists have attacked this embassy in the last decade and with Russia on the
offensive the region isn’t safe. Washington
wants us to pack up anything worth keeping and then blow the whole thing. The
Turkish government can worry about cleaning up the mess.”
That
didn’t make any sense to Robert. Turkey was an ally. They should be
helping secure the embassy. Instead, it seemed like both sides were anxious to
evacuate the U.S.
soldiers.
“Okay,”
said Robert, “but what am I doing with you guys?”
“We
blew up our last assistant,” said Cohen. “We need a new one.”
