      The book explores the critical role of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in stabilizing weak or failing states, which pose significant threats to U.S. and Western interests. It posits that effective SOF deployment can reduce the need for large-scale military interventions, as evidenced by operations in Colombia and Afghanistan. The author advocates for reforms in doctrine, organization, and rank structure within SOF to enhance their effectiveness in stability operations. Recommendations aim to strengthen U.S. capabilities in addressing crises stemming from deteriorating nation states.

      The story of survival of a huge, mega-earthquake in the Los Angeles area involves one family and how they are able to prepare and cope with a myriad of problems and challenges. The tale involves many ethical and moral dilemmas, which arise throughout the entire story. Also included are the numerous recommendations and suggestions of how to prepare for the worst case scenarios, far more deadly than those depicted by the various governmental agencies responsible for the ultimate rescue of the civilian victims. The maxim is basically to anticipate the largest degree of catastrophe possible, prepare for same and, if conditions are less then predicted, survival will be accomplished more easily. The fictional content is sprinkled, generously, with ideas, thoughts and suggestions as to how to effectively deal with a tremendous natural disaster. Remember, it's not if this will happen, it's only a matter of when.
