Only six weeks have passed since a super-EMP attack devastated the United States, but already, life has changed dramatically. Most of America has become a wasteland filled with starving bands of people, mobs and gangs. Millions are dead and millions more are suffering, with no end in sight. For Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Cruz, and Barone, the turmoil and chaos they dealt with in the early weeks after the attack will seem trivial in comparison to the collapse of society that plays out before their eyes.

Occupation by an outside force may seem unlikely in our day. But as we have allowed our borders to become floodgates of illegal entry into the US, one has to imagine it is becoming more plausible our everyday standard of life we’re accustomed to is being threatened from within. If the USA were to implode by a market-driven trigger that wiped out our financial system, our way of life would instantly become a mission of survival. The elephant-in-the-room question that needs to be asked here is, are you ready for anything that may happen?

China's leaders watched the riots and looting that tore through America during the summer of 2020 carefully. The events of 1/6/21 confirmed what China's leaders had long suspected: that America is divided.

China's leaders also unleash the world's first super-soldiers upon America in World War 3: The Dragon Rises. With altered DNA, these super-soldiers utilize the chaos that has gripped America after the electricity goes out.
