You are right, Jeff. My children are 21 and 25 years old. The world situation demands that things happen quickly in order to head off the blackmail that these rogue countries could implement. We cannot afford to wait until they strike first. The scenarios that you develop in your series of books show all too vividly the horror that could happen if we wait too long.
That was the primary reason I had in writing the series...and to show that even in the most horrible circumstances, faith, virtue, honor, morality and all of the values that undergird true liberty can perservere.
BTW, I approved the the proof of the printed version of Volume V yesterday and it is now going into distribution. Should be available at all the normal places within 10 days.
