Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time... before The Night of the War, John Thomas Rourke and his old friend Hank Frost found themselves involved with a duel conspiracy involving the U.S. Space Program and the Civil Rights Movement. The former designed to stop the Space Race and the latter would plunge America into a race war.

Intricate covert actions, combined with racial hatred, placed pawns on the chessboard of intrigue. Could the unrest created by the Vietnam War be linked to the head of the space program? Could the Ku Klux Klan trigger a civilian uprising that would ultimately plunge the United States into another civil war? Two men—one a CIA operative and survivalist and the other a mercenary—again stand between the forces of good and evil.
