Minus America

What would the world be like without America? The attack only takes a few minutes to sweep from coast to coast. When it ends, nearly everyone on mainland USA is gone. Every policeman. Every housewife. Every trucker. Everyone. A continent free for the taking . . . Ted MacInnis is a backup pilot on Air Force Two, over the Atlantic, when it happens. A warrior by nature, he can do little but listen as the radio signals from his homeland fade away and die. However, one last call with his niece convinces him the attack left some behind. She might have survived, and he makes it his mission to find out. Unfortunately, his first priority is protecting his VIP passenger: Vice President Emily Williams. The woman who might already be the leader of America's survivors. For some, the counterattack will be violently executed with firepower. For others, surviving in empty cities without adult supervision will be challenging enough. Ted, and warriors like him, will soon be part of the most desperate fight America has ever seen. This is DAY ONE.

There are no more red or blue states; just empty states. And empty cities. But a few Americans survived, and are fighting to stay alive. Ted, the pilot, still protects Vice President Emily Williams as he retains the hope of finding his niece. His skills are tested as enemy forces zero in on their location. Tabby, the tour guide, is stuck with three young teens as she looks for her parents. Entire cities are theirs to explore. Dwight, the homeless man, is known for talking to an invisible parrot. He might also be witness to the first wave of the invasion force. Journey along with these characters as they travel through the haunting remains of a once-thriving nation. Fires rage out of control. Unmanned power grids begin to shut down. As they cross state lines and drive through new cities, each of them begins to appreciate this was a terrorist attack beyond anything in history. And the terrorists make their next big move . . .

America is down, but never count it out It has been said America is impossible to conquer because there are guns behind every blade of grass. But what if no one was left to pull the triggers? The Minus America series imagines this world. The story continues . . . Ted and Emily flee the enemy, but the noose continues to close, even as he makes contact with his niece. While rescuing her is always a priority, he might have a lead on the nuclear briefcase stolen from him on day 1. Hard choices are ahead. Tabby accepts her family is gone, but she has no intention of giving up her home. Does she have what it takes to fight back against an enemy hidden behind technological superiority? Dwight finds himself at the tip of the spear of the enemy invasion. He may be powerless to stop it, but he begins to think he might be able to slow it down. Continue the journey with these last few Americans as they explore what's left of their homeland, dutifully avoid the spreading infection of the invasion force, and take the first tentative steps toward a rebellion. Unlike wars for freedom in the past, they have no allies and no reinforcements. It's time to see what they're made of.

The wolves are running loose ... The American homeland is slowly being devoured by a relentless enemy, and the number of people fighting back continues to dwindle. But all is not lost. Ted and Emily work tirelessly to stay alive and fight back, and they've joined up with some of the leftovers missed by the initial terrorist attack. After scoring a minor victory for the fledgling rebellion, they're faced with the withering prospect of assaulting the invader's main base of operations. Tabby is already there. She and her friends have been captured; what she does after learning the objectives of the enemy leader will determine whether she lives to see another day. And Deogee? She's just happy to be with her Black Labrador friend Biscuit. However, these pups may have stumbled upon the terrorist's greatest secret ... Today, all roads lead to NORAD.

The Final Chapter The enemy demands Americans be kicked out of every nation. Germany. England. France. Every US citizen must leave. The high seas are their only refuge. Ted and Emily crash into the middle of the enemy camp, but they've all been betrayed by David and his Legion. While Americans were the first to fall, it becomes clear the enemy leader has his sights set on a much larger target. Tabby thinks she's rescued her friends, but they exit a tunnel to a strange, new landscape. Always proud of her tour guide roots, she may find herself leading a tour through a different apocalypse than the one she started in. Unable to hide it any longer, the enemy readies their superweapon for one final attack. Have the remnants of the United States learned enough to recognize what it is, and, more importantly, where it is?
