Target: Berlin

by Jeff Dawson, Larry Welch

The Fourth Reich’s second attempt at overthrowing the United States has ended in utter failure. The remnants of the Pentagon still smolder as President Taylor purged the government of those found unloyal. The majority of those involved in the coup are either dead, in prison or vanished. He has the daunting task of rebuilding a shattered government and expose the person or persons responsible for the heinous acts of terrorism. Judith and Larry retired to North Carolina so she can heal from her wounds. Muki and Abdul are using the time to relax and check out the local tourist sites. Deep inside the Salzburg Mountains, a weapon more destructive than an atomic or hydrogen bomb is about to go online—Thor. It’s soul intention, righting the wrongs of World War Two. The man behind the weapon is convinced his father had the right idea and now he will see to it that the mistakes of the past will be corrected. He moved a finger across Houston, London, Moscow and the UN. Strap yourselves in for another wild ride in the Gateway series.

About the author

I spent twenty-five years in the wonderful world of road construction. Back surgery in 2010 put the skids on that career. My body couldn’t handle the rigors of twelve to sixteen hour days, six to seven days a week. As I convalesced, licking my wounds, I wondered what to do next. Not being out in the sun getting baked, or dodging traffic, was going to be a hard act to follow. Seriously, what else did I know? An article in the Dallas Morning News caught my eye. It was about being a professional speaker. Hmm. That sounds interesting. Becoming mobile again, I took a seat in front of the blank monitor, pondering what to write. Let’s start with something we know—my life.
The first work was titled “God’s Plan: A Glimpse Into One’s Life.” I re-titled it six months later to “Why Did Everything Happen?” I looked back at the last twenty-five years and how the death of my partner, father and true love affected my life. I was amazed at the revelations. Since then, I’ve moved on to write in several different genres. Some say I should change my name when diverting from the path. Well, right or wrong, I’m sticking with my name. The current works range from the memoir of my one true love: Debbie Beck—RIP 7-20-2009—Love’s True Second Chance, an alternative historical perspective of Vampires and WWII—Occupation, a newly released Sci-Fi time travel adventure,—Gateway: Pioche. If that isn’t enough, how about two Baseball Coaching Manuals?

I currently live in the DFW area, spending time with my daughter, her girls and my oldest son. When I was in construction, I never had, or took the time to enjoy what surrounded me: love, family and friends. My true love, Debbie and her girls reminded me what was important in life; “we work to live, not live to work.”

[Laura Ruetz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 3 in the Gateway series. The fourth Reich is trying to rise, and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Now, imagine a weapon so powerful that it can level a city and leave no trace. This is a fast moving political thriller that reads like an alternative history sci fi. There is a lot happening, and it happens fast, but it works. I didn't want to put this down. If you have not read the other books, you can still pick up what is happening or has happened. The characters are well-developed and definitely not static. There is a lot of dialogue, which adds a lot of tension as the story is told by the characters instead of being heavy narration.
