Kill Them All. RED WHITE AND BLUE LAND, #2

A drone operator in Nevada kills eleven men on a boat in the Caribbean. She has no evidence they've done anything wrong. Her orders are the evidence. Two men survive the missile. The Secretary of Defense calls from the Pentagon: "Kill them all. Finish it." A warship's deck gun does the rest. This is America's new war on drugs - fought without evidence, without trials, without borders, and without mercy.
When President Sterling designates drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and invokes emergency war powers, he unleashes a military campaign that starts with drone strikes in the Caribbean and escalates into a full-scale invasion of Venezuela. Suspected cartel members are executed without identification. A Saudi arms deal funds operations Congress never authorized. Military officers who question illegal orders are purged.
And a young DIA analyst named Sonny Garmin begins recording everything. Admiral Clayton Briggs watched two men murdered in the water on his own command screen - survivors killed because surviving wasn't permitted. He calls for the JAG. He puts everything on the record. He knows that someday, someone will answer for this. But as the campaign spirals from Latin America to the Taiwan Strait, as Europe is abandoned and alliances shatter, as the body count reaches forty-seven thousand, the question becomes whether anyone with the power to stop it has the courage to try - and whether courage matters when the rules no longer apply.
Kill Them All is not a prediction. It is a warning - about what becomes possible when leaders decide that due process is too slow, that sovereignty is negotiable, and that the ends always justify the means. Part of the Red White and Blue Land series. Each book stands completely alone.
