Alaska Secession

Alaska Secession synopsis:

Two men who have been working closely together for several months are killed unexpectedly two days apart. One by an assassin’s bullet to the forehead as he was driving to work and the other by a hellfire missile launched from a predator UAV as he was taking off from a lake in his floatplane.

Cooper Nelson, retired air force fighter pilot and newly hired bush plane pilot for Kate Westbrooke, Alaska’s new reporter from the National Business Review, was at the lake with Kate when the incident happened. He immediately recognized the attack was intentional.

Cooper and Kate quickly discover the meeting was being held in secret, or nearly so, and that the more than sixty people present at the lake were involved in the beginning stages of a statewide effort to convince their fellow Alaskan’s to join them in a movement to secede Alaska from the United States. In fact, they were the guest’s of honor as well as the next targets of the killers working to derail the secession movement before it can really get started.

Without notice Cooper becomes the new “temporary” leader of the secession movement that will lead him all the way to Washington D.C. and a tense face – to - face meeting with a hostile US Government. Standing alone, with his life in the balance, the entire world watches it unfold live when Cooper explains why secession is the right answer for Alaska.
