Edgar Rittenauer, a floundering, unemployed laborer is cajoled by his younger brother into joining the Michigan Militia, a ragtag group assembled under the command of Pete Adler, a wealthy, charismatic real estate developer and all-around extremist. Looking for thoughtful political dialogue, Edgar is instead introduced to the mindless banter of conspiracy radicals, the tactical buffoonery of has-been weekend warriors, and the sadistic Sergeant Avery Stone. Amidst the testosterone madness Edgar meets and falls for First Sergeant Pam Trombley, a petite, fiery gal with whom he stumbles onto Operation Trenton - a clandestine, multi-state militia endeavor plotted to awaken America to the post 9/11 threats we face. When Brigade Commander Adler learns of their discovery, Sergeant Stone is sent to silence the pair. Pam falls victim, but Edgar escapes, desperate to find the operation's order before the militia's dark forces strike in. Operation Trenton.

Two uniquely disturbing tales of not-so-common and cuddly cats and dogs.Cats takes seven members of Montana's Lincoln County Sheriff's Department to the remote and abandoned Sweet Grass Psychiatric Hospital for a week of uninterrupted tactical training. The hospital was closed a decade earlier after a suspicious fire that swept through the top floors, killing staff and patients. The legend of a mysterious Catman settles into the long lore of Sweet Grass Hills, intensified by the enormous clowder of cats that has populated the hills. A clash between reality and myth is about to take place on a very uneven playing field.Dogs examines a world where conflict resolution is taken to a deep, dark place on Maine's Stryker John Island where Trent Aress has moved his wife and twin sons. Trent has left behind his high-stress Washington world as a lobbyist to establish a resort of the remote island. But his dream is not met with the enthusiasm he expected. The reserved islanders, especially his neighbor, Abe Carver, do not appreciate his plans to turn their island into a resort. While the islanders are content to let their feelings come through in words, Carver answers back with his pack of wild dogs that patrol the property line. Trent's response is a pack of his own. But no one can control a rogue weapon. The arm's war escalates to the level of MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction.
