The First Strike

by Troy Osgood

On the day the country celebrates its independence, July 4th, 2014 a devastating attack on US soil leaves the country in shock. A new enemy emerges, one that has infiltrated our government and our cities; there is no one to trust. With no choice left, under Executive Order, General Flagg brings together the most highly trained of America’s Special Operations and Domestic Forces into the most covert unit ever created. With enemy agents in the Government, at the highest level, this new Joint Operations Element is on their own, and fighting in the shadows, against a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

G.I. Joe is born.

About the author

Born and raised in the granite state of New Hampshire, Troy is a lifelong and avid reader of comic books and novels (mostly in the fantasy, sci-fi and adventure/thriller genres). The ongoing serial storytelling methods of comic books and television has always fascinated him and provided inspiration for his writing. He’s always had a love of creating and world building and dreams of someday seeing his creations expressed across all media: books, comic books, movies, TV and even toys.

When not writing, Troy can be found outside hiking, kayaking or out back at the bonfire with beer in hand. Don’t expect to bother him during football season, especially when the Patriots are playing.
