Us Against Them
About
This is the book that took 9(!) years to write!
Originally called The New Soviet Union, this book's journey started in November 2016. It was first a poem, called "The New Soviet Union." Then, a short story, "The Russian Machine." I've included both the poem and the short story in the novel. Finally, I decided to make it a novel based on the main character from "The Russian Machine."
Please be aware that this novel is for mature audiences only, due to disturbing scenes and depictions of violence, torture, and rape.
Us Against Them spans multiple genres: dystopia, horror, historical fiction, and political thriller.
Vladimir Putin had long planned his revenge against the United States. In 2011, he reestablished the Soviet Union. With the new Soviet Union and several dictatorships backing him, Putin becomes unstoppable in his quest to destroy the world. He starts World War 3 and causes chaos in several countries. He even topples the United States.
A group known as the Resistance is doing what they can to stop Putin and the new Soviet Union. Additionally, a diplomat from the United Nations and an Army general from the now destroyed United States team up to take on Putin. Armed with information received from a Kremlin insider who is now missing and believed to be dead, it becomes a struggle for survival in a world controlled by Putin.
