eBook Description:  Trodden Under is the exciting and breath taking sequel to the first volume in the Dragon's Fury series, Dragon's Fury. It picks up the story immediately following the horrific events of March 2006 when the US Navy 7th Fleet and the United States homeland are savaged by a surprise attack and follows it throughout 2006 and 2007. It is a story of World War. As that war claims some of those introduced in Volume I, new characters are introduced who continue the struggle through the many battles and attacks that occur throughout the world, and through the mobilization for war in the increasing number of nations involved. As was the case with Volume I, Volume II is a story of cultures, competing political systems, strategies and technology, where the Red Chinese, the fundamental Islamic states and other belligerent nations continue to develop surprising advances that they employ against the West. It is a story of faith and the ultimate triumph of good over evil in the face of horrific obstacles and setbacks. From leaders in high offices of power, to soldiers and sailors from the involved nations, to housewives and their children, down to kids on the street, it is also the story of people--common and not so common--caught up in the titanic struggle. The novel addresses key issues about current political and military practice. It also addresses key social issues as they are played out in the dramatic war-time setting. A setting that ultimately produces the will and fortitude of another "greatest generation" in America. May those who read the series, be taken aback by the potential horror, be heartened by the strength and vitality of good moral people, and be motivated to insure that nations and their peoples remain strong and committed to liberty. A liberty based on the unalienable rights of the individual, on the free will of those same individuals, on morality and on individual accountability ... at all levels.

Review of Vol I: Dragon's Fury: Beath of Fire:
I find it hard to believe that this is Jeff Head's first novel. My conspiritorial side suggests that he is Tom Clancy using a pseudonym and a small publisher to have the freedom to write again. This was a fascinating read, and I eagerly await the next in the series.
This mixture between techno-fact and terrorist-thriller in the post-9/11 world is an enticing read. It is more realistic than we may think, and shows that our country can be damaged in very serious ways if we do not act.
All in all a great read that I would recommend.--Reader

Outside of Foothill Mall
Denver, CO
Sandy walked out to her car with her three children, she couldn't help but notice the chill in the air. The weatherman had forecast dropping temperatures and perhaps a late winter/early spring snowstorm for later tonight and tomorrow, and it looked like they might be right. But, none of that mattered. Her husband's birthday was tomorrow and she had just finished shopping for his presents. He was going to take the day off. What a wonderful day it would be, enjoying Troy's celebration there at home with their three young children. The kids would be so happy that "Daddy" was home. She was glad that he would be home too. With the grave conditions that the nation faced, it would be so reassuring to have him there. Though the attacks and horror seemed far removed from them here on the outskirts of Denver at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, still Sandy knew people on the east coast who had witnessed the fire and destruction of some of those attacks a few days ago and who personally knew people who had been killed. She and Troy had watched the news reports many times in sober contemplation. They had even witnessed some of the impact and consequences of those attacks here in Denver over the last couple of days with the increased security around the Capitol building and the airport. Apparently they're even extending it out here to the suburbs," she thought as she exited the mall parking lot on the east side, away from the mountains and passed two military camouflaged HMMWV's that were pulling into the parking lot as she left. I've never seen the National Guard out here before," she thought as she crossed onto Pearle Avenue in route to the freeway that would convey them to their subdivision a couple of miles to the north. But I'm glad they aren't taking any chances," she said out loud as she looked into her rearview mirror and saw one of the vehicles pull across the entrance, blocking it as the first few flakes of snow blew in a brief flurry between her and the mall. As she turned onto the entrance ramp to the freeway and lost sight of the mall, she didn't know at the time that she, along with a few others exiting at that same moment, were the last ones who would leave the mall safely that afternoon.
