The Rebels had sailed tens of thousands of miles, fighting pitched
battles on island nations from Ireland and England, south around the
Horn, then northwest up to Hawaii and back to America. They had freed

Years before the Great War ravaged the world, offshoots of nearly every
terrorist group operating around the globe had learned of the new
movement and rushed to South America to join the ranks. A terrorist
lives for terror, to kill and maim and destroy. Terrorists don't
