In the aftermath, as the United States Government scrambled to provide answers, Chicago PD inadvertently stumbled upon a plot to destroy the city with a nuclear weapon. The public demanded action.Their leaders had an answer. They crafted an organization that could protect the nation from violent actors and prevent future massacres; an organization that is nimble, efficient, and deadly. The Central Intelligence and Defense Force was born. The CIDF took radically aggressive steps to curb the terrorist threat and did what others couldn't before. For twenty years, Americans slept soundly knowing that the ever-vigilant agents of the CIDF are deployed around the globe, watching and waiting.Suddenly, in the spring of 2023, the charismatic leader of a network of environmental extremists orders his followers to launch a bloody campaign. The series of devastating attacks in Seattle shakes the public's faith in the CIDF.Following the Government's failures, a private security firm known as Red Star decides to confront the extremists themselves. They recruit Liam Kromer, a decorated soldier and disgraced law enforcement officer, to help hunt down those responsible for the carnage. When Liam goes undercover for his new employer, he learns that the recent attacks were part of a larger plan. His mysterious foes have a bold vision for the future, and they've spent decades quietly preparing for war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Todd Hallbauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1520208685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781520208688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.66d","brand":"Todd Hallbauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49163692212479,"sku":"9781520208688","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nightmare-crouton-todd-hallbauer-9781520208688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
