The Gathering Storm

THEY CAME FROM GENERATIONS OF WARRIORS: TWO PROUD AMERICAN FAMILIES DESTINED TO. FIGHT, LOVE AND DIE IN THE FIRES OF WORLD WAR II

THE ALLIES IGNORED THE THREAT. BUT FOR A HANDFUL OF MEN ON THE FRONT LINES, THE WAR HAD ALREADY BEGUN, AND SO HAD THE SACRIFICE...

In the Far East, Army Captain Keenan Carlisle serves as an observer of the Japanese Army as it fights the Russians along the Manchurian border--when one battle plunges him into a struggle for survival among the Chinese communists. In Europe, Army Major Chad Belvale is an observer with the British Army when Hitler unleashes the panzer-led attack that ends in the shame and blood of Dunkirk. For both Keenan and his cousin, Chad, World War II is real--putting their lives and their marriages at risk. But stateside even the warnings of Lt. Gen. Preston Belvale and Maj. Gen. Crusty Carlisle are falling on deaf ears, as a sleeping nation is about to be rocked by the reality of war...

They had fought side by side in 1776 and against each other in the Civil War. This is their story--the epic saga of two noble families, and of their losses, honor, and valor in a war like no other.
