NATIVE SOIL

About the Book

Two of the largest and most populous, and anti-American, countries-China and the Russian Republic-have joined forces militarily in an attempt at world domination. They have swept over Southwest Asia and the Middle East, forcing a buildup of hundreds of thousands of U.S. and Allied troops in the region. As the world would find out, that was not the only place to be invaded.

A small group of childhood friends, saying farewell and congratulations, are suddenly thrown into the midst of a war the country could not predict. Trapped and unable to flee to safety, they are ultimately forced to hide out deep in the forests of the Adirondack Mountains. There they must fight their enemies, both invading forces and other Americans, in order to survive. Their goal is simple, yet nearly impossible; make it out alive and escape the first war since the Civil War to be fought on native soil.
