DRONE WARS: THE BEGINNING





“The book started out so real and the characters so believable that I was crying before the end of the first chapter. I can picture something like this happening right here in the United States. I couldn't put the book down. I am pleased to report that the book, unlike too many recently, has a happy ending which I won't spoil for you. I can't wait for the sequel.”






BOOK DESCRIPTION



This is a story of a monstrous conspiracy by a government and its supporters to use drones to murder citizens who disagree with their viewpoint and actions, and what happens when some of those citizens survive and take action against that government. The story is set a few years from now and the science described is mostly available now, or will be soon.



John is one of those citizens who criticized the government in a comment he made in reply to a blog. John is working in his garden when he is attacked by a drone armed with a .40 caliber gun.



John escapes and goes on the run. He finds out it was the government that tried to kill him, just as they have been secretly assassinating other citizens who speak out against the current administration. He joins a talented group of government resisters and is asked to lead them in a rebellion to topple the rogue government.



John agrees to lead them and then the fun starts. It will require all of John's brains, strength, and fortitude to succeed in overthrowing the government, protecting the citizenry, and restoring liberty to the people, even with the talented and remarkable men and women of the resistance on his side.



Some of the characters include:



Peggy, who escapes a drone attack and learns she is much more competent than she ever believed possible.



Jonas, an incredible genius who fights back even though he is afraid to fire a gun.



Toni, whose husband and family were murdered, and who is fighting back.



The girl in the hoodie, a 16-year-old hacker putting her skills to use against the drones at the risk of her own life.



Lorne, whose Walter Mittyish appearance conceals a determined and capable adversary.



Gwen, a fragile old lady, but an expert shooter.



Myrtle, a six-foot-six behemoth who is an excellent cook.



Lowboy, a grizzled Southerner who gets the ball rolling.



Doc, just out of medical school and a fearless and capable driver.



Tom, an ex-military sniper who targets drones.



Merle, a sheriff who stands off a drone invasion in his county.
