European perspective. From context, I’m sure “alien” means foreign, not extraterrestrial! “Our people today face the gravest peril in their entire history: demographic collapse, submission to an alien colonisation and to Islam, the bastardisation of the European Union, prostration before American hegemony, the forgetting of our cultural roots, and so on.

The Only
“Britain, 2025 THE GOVERNMENT LOOK OUT FOR US. (Don’t they?) Everything we need is given to us by the Government, they choose where we live, what we eat, what job we do, we don’t have to worry about anything. THE GOVERNMENT SAVED US. (Didn’t they?) After the flu pandemic if they hadn’t mobilised the military we’d have all killed each other. WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE. (Aren’t we?) Of course we are - if we keep the rules, they keep us safe. YOU'D HAVE TO BE MAD TO GO AGAINST THEM. I WOULDN'T. Why would I, I’m a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl used to doing what I’m told. But now my brother’s life is on the line . . …”

The Schmetterling Effect
“Improbably, his night on the "black stuff" results in Germany taking action that provokes the Euro currency crisis. The crisis gets so bad that, a few years in the future from now, the European Union (EU) is reformed such that Germany dominates all member states from a new EU headquarters in Berlin. EU Police officers (EUPOs) with Draconian powers menace the people of all EU states. Ireland is thrown out of the EU and collapses economically. Iran produces suitcase nukes and plans to detonate a number of them simultaneously to cripple Israel, thus allowing a mass attack on Israel by its neighbor states. Due to a software glitch, the plan goes wrong. A nuclear holocaust and a 50% reduction in the world's oil supply result. World trade collapses due to the resulting energy shortage….”

The Florida coastline is in ruins from the most powerful hurricane on record; a second just like it is bearing down on the state of Texas. For the first time in history, the Middle East has united as one and amassed the most formidable army the world has seen since the Third Reich. A hidden army of terrorists is on American soil. This is the story of three men: Howard Beck, the world’s richest man, also diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped convict. Maxwell Harris, a crippled, burned out Chief of Police of a small Texas town. At first they must fight for their own survival against impossible odds.

The United States has changed as well. The President is a cold, ruthless man intent on ruling the world under his One World Government concept. The rights and freedoms of individuals have been suppressed, taxation has become oppressive, and the economy is in shambles. ...Kirk has spent his life standing up for liberty and freedom, only to become disgusted at what has become of his once great nation. When Kirk’s son is taken by the national police for “reeducation”, Kirk swings into action. Accompanied by his longtime friend Matt Pickett, Kirk rescues his son.
