After The Solar Flare (Book 2): Adventures in the Apocalypse
Page 18
“JFK Tower, Saudia Heavy, I do not believe we can make it to Newfoundland. Please turn on landing lights and tell us which runway to use.”
A new voice came over the radio saying, “JFK Tower, this is Mongoose 6 flying Combat Air Patrol, end transmissions to Saudia Heavy Flight 666. We will take it from here, out.
Saudia Heavy, Mongoose 6 a flight of five F-18 Super Hornets. You will not be allowed to enter U.S. Air Space by order of the President of the United States of America. If your flight crosses the twelve-mile limit, we will be forced to shoot you down. Turn northwest to Newfoundland immediately, over.”
An AWACS entered the conversation saying, “Mongoose 6 this is Mother. We have just received word that should Saudia Heavy enter U.S. Air Space you are cleared to shoot it down. Confirm receipt of this message via voice and electronic transmission, over.”
“Mother this is Mongoose 6, confirm receipt of both voice and transmission, over.”
“Saudia Heavy, this is Mother, I warn you to turn northwest and away from U.S. Air Space immediately. You are currently 100 nautical miles from our 12-mile limit. Acknowledge.”
“Mother this is Saudia 666; we do not have sufficient fuel to make it to a new destination. Greenland is also closed to civilian traffic making it impossible to refuel there. I’m sorry, but we are heading to La Guardia. We do not believe you would shoot down a civilian 747 full of passengers.”
“Saudia Heavy, the prudent decision would have been to return to Riyadh when you were turned away from Paris. You know that all flights from Africa are required by FAA Regulation to refuel in Europe before heading to the U.S.
Your actions have broken the order to refuel before flying across the Atlantic and trying to enter U.S. Air Space during a worldwide medical emergency. Turn northwest, now, perhaps you can make a water landing and be rescued by the Canadian Coast Guard.”
“Mongoose 6, Mother, intercept Saudia 666 and if it crosses the 12-mile limit, you are cleared, and directed to shoot it down. Confirm, over.”
“Mother, Mongoose 6, Roger Wilco, understand intercept Saudia Heavy 666. Should the Saudia flight cross the 12-mile limit we are ordered to destroy Flight 666, over?”
“Roger Mongoose, I’m sorry this has fallen on you, but they are not to be allowed over U.S. territory, over.”
“Mother, permission to go weapons hot, over.”
“Mongoose, permission granted for weapons hot, over.”
“Mother this is Mongoose 6 and four pups going weapons hot. Intercept in 8 miles, over.”
“Roger out Mongoose.”
The Saudia pilot became a frantic saying, “Mother this is Saudia Heavy, you cannot shoot us down. We have declared an emergency. In the name of Allah, you must help us.”
Silence…
“Mother, Mongoose 6, we have intercepted Saudia Heavy 666, the pilot is turning to the northwest. We need guidance here, over.”
“Mongoose 6, Mother, continue shadow Saudia Heavy until they are within 100 nautical miles of the Canadian border, over.”
“Mother, Mongoose 6, Roger Wilco, understand shadow Saudia Heavy until 100 nautical miles from Canadian border, over.”
“Mongoose 6, Mother, Roger out.”
Mongoose 6 said a silent prayer thanking God that he did not have to destroy a civilian Jet Liner. At 100 nautical miles from the Canadian Border Mongoose 6 and pups broke off to return home.
“May day, May day, this is Saudia Heavy Flight 666 calling Canadian Coast Guard, our fuel is exhausted, and we are going down. Our location is six nautical miles from Newfoundland Airport.
“Saudia Heavy Flight 666, this is Canadian Coast Guard, as we said just moments ago, when we also denied permission to land, we are unable to assist, sorry, good luck.”
The Saudia pilot said, “Allahu Akbar, we are going in, Allah save…” The transmission ended. The 747 hit so hard that no help was needed. The impact caused the plane to bounce from the belly landing to her nose. Saudia Heavy Flight 666 sank to the bottom nose first.
If only the pilot had heeded the denial of service from Paris and turned back knowing the FAA policy of not allowing any flight originating in Africa to land without first refueling in Europe.
The first casualties of the Ebola attack were all Saudis.

Three years ago, CIA Agent Max Owens was captured and tortured by the Taliban because they thought he had information concerning a bioweapon the Saudis were developing to use against them. Several hundred villagers died and then nothing happened.
Now a biological attack on New York City leaves thousands dead and millions hospitalized in several countries. The USA is terrorized. No terrorist group claims the attack. Was this the major attack or a sample of things to come? Was this the end of the attacks or the first that leads to a worldwide apocalypse?
In this bioterrorism thriller, radical Islamic terrorists use genetic engineering to develop a deadly strain of virus based on the Ebola and Zika viruses. Their goal is to eradicate non-Muslims, bring forth the Twelfth Imam and begin the World Caliphate.
Can Max Owens and his team of CDC and CIA operatives find and stop this terrorist group before they unleash this Strain of Islam and kill billions of people?

The Sun is entering a period of solar activity that makes the famous Carrington event of 1859 pale by comparison. Just that alone will knock out the grid, kill most vehicles and fry electronics. The USA is not prepared for this catastrophe, and the entire world will go back 150 years in technology and living standards. Hardened military vehicles and pre-electronic vehicles will be the only machines moving not drawn by a horse, mule or camel. People with pacemakers will fall dead, planes will fall out of the sky and transportation will come to a halt. People will starve; riots and looting will start all across the world. 60% of the world’s population will die off the first year.
Alone in the Apocalypse is a post-apocalyptic tale about a series of solar events that test the mettle of a man who just wants to live alone in remote Wyoming. Will the solar catastrophe or his fellow man kill him, or can he prevail?
