Dust of Kansas (Calm Act Genesis Book 1)
by Ginger Booth
The Calm Act is born in the dust of
Kansas
Fort Leavenworth Kansas is home to the
elite US Army Command School. Major Emmett MacLaren and his roommates
look forward to a placid year pursuing master’s degrees in advanced
military planning.
But all is not well in Kansas. A Dust
Bowl is brewing to rival the worst hard times of the twentieth
century Depression. Rivers and aquifers are running dry. Race riots
and refugees fill the news. And Command School is doing something
strange this year with its curriculum. Its officer scholars will
focus on war-gaming a single scenario, in utter secrecy – the
collapse of the United States due to climate change.
Emmett and his roommates are tasked
with vetting the Calm Act, a plan to meet the climate change crisis
with nation-wide martial law – and worse.
Dust of Kansas is a prequel
short story in the Calm Act (End Game) universe. It features
military characters from End Game and its sequel, Project
Reunion.
