No Escaping the Storm: Twenty-Second Century Freedom Fighters Unite in a Desperate War for Survival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977224798)

After too many drunken nights, and one live firefight with an invisible enemy in the center of Portland, Harold Bushong disappeared into the Oregon Coast Mountains. Now, two hundred years later, the Norwest Territory Federation is at war with the Fareasterners over timber rights, and Portland has fallen to the invaders. With alien DNA and futuristic technology on their side, the Fareasterners are a threat that the local populace can't handle on their own--good thing Colonel Bushong, along with the childhood friend he's reunited with, Captain William "Willy" Roberts Steinman IV, has returned. Can they help the people save not only the timber but their homes and their lives?

Gabriel F. W. Koch used his own experiences in active-duty military and living in Oregon to write No Escaping the Storm. Fans of science fiction will love Koch's twist on the genre as a hyper-local issue explores universal themes.
