This is a story about a tightly knit group of Americans living, loving and fighting in WWIII in the middle of the twenty-third century. In the world of the future, old competitors, even one-time geopolitical enemies, now trade, cooperate in space exploration, make babies, and fight in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East against a bitter and hardened enemy. The threat comes from the nuclear-armed radical Muslim government of the French Caliphate. My protagonists hail from the North American Union, Russia, France and Israel. Their lives are touched by the lives of other people of different nationalities and religions. Together, they shape the future and protect the very existence of humanity. To survive a nuclear Armageddon unleashed by the leaders of the Caliphate against the NAU and its closest allies, America needs more than brilliance of her scientists, competence of her leading politicians, bravery and professionalism of her soldiers. She needs trust, love and courage of her friends, regardless where these friends can be found, and she needs some luck.
There are historical developments, scientific breakthroughs, battle scenes based on future geographical and political realities, humor, love scenes. Most of all, this is a story about real people who are not jingoist, but put their lives on the line when it counts.
