Your only daughter is a political prisoner of your worst enemy. And you are over the hill. How do you rescue her? California and her vassal states have had enough of the federal government trying to control them. With the sixth largest economy in the world, it is not fair for intolerant buffoons running the United States to slow California's race to a tolerant society. Now is the time to form a new nation of unity and dependence on the collective. Chuck Carson, Retired Navy, is living the good life of a successful Northwest entrepreneur and outdoor enthusiast in Idaho. Then his daughter, KD, becomes collateral damage in the secession of California-trapped in the enemy state and held captive along with hundreds of other peaceful, law-abiding Americans. Carson is called on by his governor, and his conscience, to lead the mission to rescue the incarcerated citizens of Idaho. This impossible operation only becomes worse when California imprisons KD and her companions in an island fortress. Having suffered serious injury, survival, let alone escape, comes into question. This life and death struggle powerfully illustrate where everyday citizens could find themselves soon in our present-day society. Chuck must lead his tiny, close-knit band of aged warriors to succeed. If this last and only hope fails, his family will be shattered forever. Courage and determination are their weapons. What can this small crew do but struggle forward against the odds?
