Will to Survive Stop the Jihadists

Can they stop domestic terrorists? These guys have a plan: make the jihadists fear them more than they value martyrdom.Scarred by the devastating murder of loved ones at the hands of terrorists, four vets returning from Afghanistan meet to discuss revenge. They believe the government doesn't recognize the seriousness of the domestic jihadist movement and has no strategy for dealing with potential recruits into the movement. In addition to their concern about violent acts, they are concerned with the threats posed to Western values by the radicals seeking to impose their values on the U.S. culture. They form a group to "fight fire with fire," to use the same tactics on domestic radicals as they themselves advocate.Their efforts initially are limited and unfocused. A billionaire founder of a highly successful tech company, also determined to combat terrorism, discovers the vets activities and recruits them to join his own efforts. Using the resources of the company, the counter-terrorist operations gain greater focus and effectiveness. Despite the groups successes in preventing attacks by jihadists, the FBI sees the group as an unlawful vigilante group that has to be apprehended and punished. The group must evade both retaliation from the terrorists and apprehension by law enforcement.

After retiring as a professor of psychology, Coleman Paul, Ph.D shifted from laboratory work and writing technical articles for professional journals to writing both essays and fiction. He tries to engage readers with his writing as he did with students with his lectures. He finds the act of writing interesting in how it sparks both new ideas and clarifies one's own thinking. He likes to dabble in the stock market (with some success) and to cook meals for his wife and himself (with less success).
