Hey, how about an exclusive excerpt from OVERLORD, the 8th Kelly Turnbull PEOPLE's REPUBLIC novel, coming this fall?
Here, Kelly preps for a mission!
Ernie Smith let Turnbull in through the back door of the facility, a sterile and generic office building on the outskirts of Dallas. It was not that Turnbull could not have walked in the front door with his ID. It was that Turnbull did not want to. There was the possibility that someone would attempt to take the place of Clay Deeds and presume to order him about and Turnbull preferred not to have to kick some schmuck’s ass all over the spy org’s headquarters.
He had his mission already.
“You got that focused look,” Ernie said as they walked down the linoleum-lined hallway under the flickering fluorescent lights.
“Oh, I’m focused,” Turnbull assured him.
“Word is that Deeds got taken,” Smith said as he stopped at the door of the armory and swiped his key card. The metal door’s locking mechanism clacked, and he pushed through. “I’m guessing that’s why you’re heading into the blue.”
“For a guy no one is supposed to know exists, everyone seems to know Clay,” Turnbull said.
“He’s a player at the highest levels,” Smith observed, walking inside. “Or was. You think he’s alive somewhere in the People’s Republic?”
“I know he is,” Turnbull replied, following Smith through. “They told me.”
“They?”
“Clay is bait.”
“Which you’re taking.”
“I have a plan.”
“So, you’re going to go on a massive killing spree to get him back.”
“That’s the plan.”
“That’s always your plan.”
Smith pushed the door shut. The lock engaged.
The armory was actually rows and rows of weapons of all types and sizes and calibers/gauges.
“Looks like The Matrix in here, Ernie. I like it.”
“You said you needed guns, lots of guns. Well, I got lots of guns.”
“Excellent.” Turnbull smiled like a fat boy in a Cheetos factory.

Listen to what your enemy tells you! @townhallcom
“It’s a beautiful autumn, with the sun out and the economy getting better and relative peace and quiet in the country, and then you realize that a substantial number of the people we share this country with want to see us dead. No one wants to have that realization, and a lot of people will try to deny it. After all, it’s easier to deny unpleasant truths than to face them forthrightly. But we need to face this one forthrightly. We need to look at exactly what’s happening, confront it, and defeat it. Because if we don’t defeat it, they’re going to defeat us, and then they’re going to murder us. How do I know this? Well, there’s a thing called history that used to be taught in schools, but you can find out all about it through the magic of the Interwebs if you have any doubts about what I’m saying.
And you shouldn’t have any doubts about what I’m saying because it’s manifestly true. There are a lot of people who want us...
