Welcome to the future of America. Land of chaos and home of the ambitious... A botched assassination on the eve of Election Day throws the routine transfer of presidential authority on its head and shuts down the Federal Government. With Congress and the Supreme Court locked in a constitutional standoff, rabble-rousing state governors fueling the fire and shadowy opportunists pulling strings, the nation teeters on the verge of a Second Civil War. As the politicos play their games and lose control, the scourge of 21st century hyper-war is unleashed upon a shattered nation. Fancy speeches aside, the lives of millions will not ride on the politicians and generals, but on the shoulders of the pawns they tossed into the meat grinder. Pawns like Sergeant Major John Brown, a hard charging paratrooper, who’s about as political as a potato, yet incites a second revolution. Or young Sophie Kampbell, a social justice crusader, who despises violence in every form until tragedy shoves her into the arms of the mysterious “Freedom Brigade” militias. Power Games is the first installment in the epic Operation: Enduring Unity military thriller series. If you like Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy or Red Phoenix by Larry Bond, then you'll love this explosive adventure packed with constant thrills, twists and high stakes from cover to cover.

Review · "The action is fast-paced and while not non-stop there is enough to satisfy even the most demanding action junkie without being gratuitous. The non-action scenes proved the backstory and backdrop to how the war is fought and most importantly how it ends. The whole story throughout is eminently plausible given the current situation of politics in America. If you did not know better you might almost think you are reading the memoir of someone who fought in the Second America Civil War." - Military History Book Reviews· "Some political thrillers are cautionary and others give a stiff middle finger to the perceived corruption in government and law enforcement. Some political thrillers try to accomplish so much that they become a mish-mash of ideas...Underneath it all, this is an author who clearly knows his stuff. He knows the military, he knows secession, he knows the questions to be asked in uncertain political situations and he knows the buzzwords used in political spin." - Rabid Readers Reviews · "The story starts with a bang, literally. Quickly after the opening scene the situation spirals out of control, the balance of power teeters on a knives edge... Long story short is that I liked the story." - Matthew Carlton, Siderbox.com book review blog
From the Author This series is going out to all my brothers and sisters in every branch of the military. All those that answered the call to serve without ever asking, "What's in it for me?" Especially to the families of those that never made it back. Gone but never forgotten!
About the Author Richard Peters is the author of the Operation Enduring Unity military thriller series and the Final Caliphate dystopian science fiction series. He served from 2002-2007 as an artillery spotter in the US Army. An OIF veteran, Richard spent 27 months during two tours bringing peace at any price to the post-apocalyptic streets and mahalla's of Baghdad.While born and raised on the banks of the Suwannee River in north Florida, I currently live with my wife and two children in Germany and run a small firm providing GPS services to businesses. I make sure to fly back home to that colorful, lawless swamp I love so much every year, usually at the start of turkey season, and squeeze in as much hunting, fishing and tubing as possible.

It is packed with combat action and the roles of Jessica and Sophie make this book appealing to a wider audience.It has a great balance of action, political argument, intelligent plotting and side-switching. We see the views from the top, the president, and all the way through the generals, the soldiers, the Bible-bashers, the news reporters, the protesters and the innocent bystanders.It's a massive story and I don't mean word count. It's exceptionally well written with a fast pace which fits with the action scenes perfectly.I could almost believe that the author had travelled forward in time and came back with an account of what was going on.Personally I would have liked more dialogue, but as it's an action based story with a lot of noise, had it been a film, I understand why it is written the way it is.A very clever book and I learned a lot from it.

Richard Peters, the author, sent me a copy of this book to read and review and asked for feedback, whether it was negative or positive. As you read through, I hope that my words will be helpful. As someone who’s writing his first novel, I hope that others will be kind enough to help me like this when the time comes.I’m crazy about the post-apocalypse and dis-utopian society. The idea of a second civil war gripping the United States of America easily fits into both of those quite easy. I had finished another book the day before I received a copy of Power Games and luckily I had a free rainy Saturday, so I read.The story starts with bang, literally. Quickly after the opening scene the situation spirals out of control, the balance of power teeter on a knives edge. Before you can almost blink, a high-stakes game of chicken involving Congress, individual States, and the President develops.I’ll be real honest; I didn’t really like characters in this story. That’s not a bad thing unless I was supposed to like particular ones. I couldn’t even root for anyone, I felt like they were all very easy to hate. This especially rang true for any of the politicians and most of the press. If you like a lot of detailed battle scenes, this is the book for you. Each of the firefights and full-fledged battles were laced with military jargon, tactical detail, and a grisly imagery.The biggest issues I had were pretty simple. I got lost here and there as the story progressed. The scenes pick up speed the further I progressed through the book. Essentially the story and characters started to blur together. I hope in further installments that the characters develop more and that I get to know them a little better.Long story short is that I liked the story and wish I could give it a three and a half stars instead of three. I look forward to seeing where it goes, since the ending defiantly leaves things unresolved and the horizon open.

I liked it a lot.The story is woven around a series of events that I can actually see happening all to well. The author illustrates the power of the media and in particular the misconceptions that are sprung from news agencies that are scrambling to be the "First". In doing so of course, the information is not always vetted and it is often just one side of the story. This happens quite a bit as we all know. However, Mr. Peters takes it to the extreme with a what-if scenario that is all too plausible in my eyes.(If we were in the state of unrest the nation is set at in the book that is.)This is mixed with again the all too familiar stance of greedy, ignorant, politicians. Add in the very real cultural and socio-economic divides of our nation. You take these and combine them to the max and you get the premise of this book. A modern civil war here in America. I won't get into spoilers but rest assured it is chock full of action and political maneuvering and intrigue.When it came to assigning the number of stars, I always try to think of the most glaring cons. And after quite a bit of thought I decided to give it four stars. Why not five? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be waiting for the next one to come out with anticipation.I give it four because of the way the author disseminates a lot of the valuable information needed to set the tone for the overall backstory. And there is a quite a bit of it. He elects to explain this information in a lecture type of dissemination. You are being told what is going on directly. "A is happening here in Anytown, Anystate because B occurred elsewhere" kinda stuff.I normally don't mind this at all, even prefer it most times, but the amount of it can be a little offsetting and remind you of a textbook at times. (I love textbooks btw). With that being said I would have liked a little breakup in that style. I have seen other authors do so through a mixture of that, abstract news articles, very short lived characters that are introduced just to illustrate a certain event, etc.This is something that I noticed. It doesn't take away from the story at all and is just a style preference to most.Highly recommend to all!
