A satellite story to the Brandt Family Adventures

1990. It was a year like few others.

Geo-political turmoil reigned supreme across the globe. From Central America to Europe and the Middle East, dictators were deposed, empires crumbled, nations were reunited while others sought to conquer their neighbors. 

At home in the U.S., natural and man-made disasters challenged a government and a military struggling to stay ahead of the changing international landscape. This dynamically changing world is the backdrop for a year in the life of one man seeking to protect his family from the forces allied against them. 

Chet Diego is anticipating his pending discharge from the U.S. Army. Being among the elite Green Berets seconded to support covert C.I.A. operations throughout central and south America, Chet has been away from his fiancée for over a year. When he learns that his daughter was born while he was incommunicado on missions, Chet is even more excited to settle down and begin family life.

When the beautiful mother of his infant daughter is brutally murdered in an apparent robbery, Chet begins to suspect that the crime may have been staged to hide a deeper conspiracy. When his suspicions are confirmed, he seeks retribution. However, Chet’s quest for justice and the future security for his family will come at a cost. Will the price be too high, or will it buy him a future that he and his family will be proud of?

In this action-packed prequel to the award winning, “His Daddy’s Car”, readers gain a clearer understanding of the incidents that became the foundation for the Unites States’ homeland security strategy decades later. Chet Diego may not have coined the phrase, “Shock and Awe”, but during a year on fire, he certainly mastered it.
