The Road to Hell- Sidney's Way

Page 24

by Brian Parker


  Sidney looked around at her small group with a smile. “Mark, disable the truck. We need to take what we can and get out of here before they send out reinforcements.”

  “Yes, ma’am,” the youth said as he slid into the cab of the truck to release the hood latch.

  While Mark worked his destructive magic on the engine, Sidney pulled a can of red spray paint from her pack. It was more than a bit cliché, but by God, she wanted their enemies to know who they were dealing with and for that knowledge to strike fear into their hearts.

  In a nod to one of Lincoln Bannister’s favorite movies about a group of teens fighting for freedom in their homeland after an invasion by the Russians, she’d adopted the local high school mascot as their own. Interestingly, she’d been offended by the name of the Redskins football team when she lived in DC, but when she learned that Liberal High School’s mascot was also the Redskins, she took it as a sign.

  She used the spray paint to graffiti a Native American war axe on the side of the truck. The red symbol stood out starkly against the green paint. There was no way that it’d be missed.

  Sidney and Sally exchanged a grin. They were going to make these bastards wish they’d never set foot in America.

  This is the end of the second installment of Sidney’s Way. Want to read about the origins of the disease that swept the globe, and what happened to Grady Harper’s team in Brazil? Look for Brian Parker’s Five Roads to Texas prequel soon!

  Grudge

  The United States Navy led an expedition to Antarctica in December 1946, called Operation Highjump. Officially, the men were tasked with evaluating the effect of cold weather on US equipment; secretly their mission was to investigate reports of a hidden Nazi base buried beneath the ice. After engaging unknown forces in aerial combat, weather forced the Navy to abandon operations. Undeterred, the US returned every Antarctic summer until finally the government detonated three nuclear missiles over the atmosphere in 1958. Unfortunately, the desperate gamble to rid the world of the Nazi scourge failed. The enemy burrowed deeper into the ice, using alien technologies for cryogenic freezing to amass a genetically superior army, indoctrinated from birth to hate Americans. Now they’ve returned, intent on exacting revenge for the destruction of their homeland and banishment to the icy wastes.

  The Path of Ashes

  Evil doesn’t become extinct, it evolves. Our world is a violent place. Murder, terrorism, racism and social inequality, these are some of the forces that attempt to destroy our society while the State is forced to increase its response to these ac
tions. Our own annihilation is barely held at bay by the belief that we’ve somehow evolved beyond our ancestors’ base desires.

  From this cesspool of emotions emerges a madman, intent on leading the world into anarchy. When his group of computer hackers infiltrate the Department of Defense network, they initiate a nuclear war that will irrevocably alter our world.

  Aeric Gaines and his roommate, Tyler, survive the devastation of the war, only to find that the politically correct world where they’d been raised was a lie. All humans have basic needs such as food, water and shelter…but we will fight for what we desire.

  A Path of Ashes is a three-book series about life in post-apocalyptic America, a nation devoid of leadership, electricity and human rights. The world as we know it may have burned, but humanity found a way to survive and this is their story.

  When Clay rescues a young woman named Kelsey from a group of Screamers, his life is catapulted into a new direction, forcing him to make decisions he never thought he would have to make.

  Now, with winter rolling in earlier than ever, Clay's divided attention is putting him, and his family, at risk.
