War Plan Red

Perfect for fans of John le Carré and Robert Ludlum who want character-driven military fiction that explores the human cost of conflict, not just the technology of war.

When a U.S. warship shells a coastal Canadian town, the invasion begins.

Retired JTF2 operator Jack Juteau has one priority: reach his sixteen-year-old son in Halifax before the Americans seal the island. Infrastructure is down. Communications are dead. What looks like an isolated strike is a coordinated attack he recognizes immediately.

Jack's sister Jamie, a seasoned hunter who survived seventeen years in an abusive marriage, is widowed on the first day of the war. Separated in the chaos, Jack believes she is dead and pushes east, using methods that shatter the life he tried to leave behind.

Behind enemy lines, Jamie discovers a traitor feeding intelligence to the Americans. She moves to stop the leak at a devastating personal cost. The fortress survives. She might not.

What follows is a pulse-pounding race across occupied Nova Scotia as Jack consolidates resistance forces while Jamie fights to stay alive in enemy custody. Both will be forced to confront impossible choices about loyalty, survival, and how far they'll go to protect what matters most.

Family loyalty has a body count.
