A time for patriots
(Book)

When the stock markets crash and the American economy falls into a crippling recession, the president must make massive cuts in the federal budget, including the public safety budget. In response, entire communities of armed citizens band together for survival and mutual protection. Against this dismal backdrop, an entire FBI SWAT team is ambushed and radioactive materials are stolen by a group calling themselves the Knights of the True Republic. In this time of crisis, a citizen organization rises to the task of protecting their fellow countrymen: the Civil Air Patrol. The Nevada Wing-led by retired Air Force Lieutenant-General Patrick McLanahan and his son, Bradley-uses their military skills in the sky and on the ground to hunt down violent terrorists. But how will Patrick respond when extremists launch a catastrophic dirty bomb attack in Reno?
