Winter Kill - War With China Has Already Begun
Gene Skellig & Zhamil BikbaevIn Gene Skellig's terrifyingly plausible military techno-thriller, Winter Kill - War With China Has Already Begun, you will be immediately drawn into the strong characters of this richly detailed adventure. As the pace accelerates, you will become wrapped up in the action at the local level. At the same time, your thirst for the economic, geopolitical and military context of the war will be thoroughly satisfied. With unexpected developments and twists, this story will confront you with the daunting challenge of surviving in the Winter Kill world, just as it confronted the people of the Sunshine Coast communities of the Pacific Northwest and numerous strategic locations around the world.
When the Nuclear Extinction War (NEW) begins, it comes as a complete surprise to just about everybody. But for retired military planner, Casey Callaghan, it represents the culmination of the worst case scenario which he had feared was inevitable – and one for which he had made extensive preparations. His motivation is the security of his wife and five small children, his extended family and as many of his friends and neighbors as he can save. The world is faced with the unimaginable devastation of a global nuclear winter which kills off 95% of humankind like the winter kill of a crop in nature.
Survival has suddenly become very personal.
To make matters worse, a rogue police officer is out to get Casey. While Casey and Constable Walker wage war on a very personal scale, the global war grinds towards its inevitable outcome.
After reading Winter Kill, when you consider our relationship with China you might see, as Casey Callaghan does, that we are blindly rushing towards catastrophe. All it will take to set off a devastating cascade of events is one repugnant conclusion in the mind of an evil genius.
You will also find yourself reflecting on real word events such as the Arab Spring, the steady rise in the price of gold and the talk of an attack on Iran as subjects well explored in Winter Kill, making the Winter Kill scenario that much more frightening.
ReviewGene Skellig's "Winter Kill" describes World War Three on two levels - one from a global perspective, when a power-hungry Chinese general takes control and sends the missiles flying. The other perspective is that of a Canadian ex-military officer and his painstaking preparations in western Canada for such a world cataclysm.
From the AuthorWinter Kill was inspired by my long term planning for my upcoming retirement - with four children to raise. Perhaps I am a bit of a misanthrope, as I am not happy with the way humanity is headed. However, by making adjustments in our personal lives - moving out of the cities and doing some gardening - it is the small things that we can do that will make a big difference overall. The future could be brighter than I portrayed in Winter Kill, but it think that it is prudent to prepare for the worst possible scenario that humankind or nature could bring down upon us. In this way, Winter Killmay be of interest to the prepper as much as to any parents who are concerned for the world their children will inherit. My plan is to pass on something of a sustainable legacy in a rural setting.
