Mile-High Blood
In a secret deal with the first American dictator, China’s forces occupying the US West Coast abduct the leader of the national freedom fighters. During the operation, they wipe out his Israeli protective detail, capturing detail commander Kate Hartmann alive.
Rebel commando leader Jude Winthrop launches a rescue mission that takes him and his special operators from the Colorado Rockies, where the bloody abduction occurred, to California’s Naval Base Coronado. Bold incursions through Arizona and New Mexico tribal lands lead the rescue team to the occupied naval base, where the elite PLA forces have imprisoned their president.
The rescue operation becomes personally meaningful to Jude when he finds out the enemy is also holding Kate, with whom his relationship had deteriorated the last time they worked together.
Sensing his hold over the nation weakening, the dictator strikes back by violently killing a freedom fighter whose death hits Jude deeply.
