Dark Veil

Lester McNare has spent his last thirty years in solitary confinement, trapped deep in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. He isn’t a criminal. He isn’t a hermit. And he isn’t insane. Lester McNare is the last President of the United States of America.

Dark Veil is the story of alien invasion. Centaurians, a lust for rare metals driving their fleet, are done scouting the Earth. Lester McNare, head of the Space Command in Colorado, is tapped by President Abraham Murry to lead Earth’s defense. We know they are coming. We have intercepted scout craft. In the opening half of the 21st century, General McNare preps the United States and then North America in secret.

Armies are marshaled, material is sequestered, and plans are made. The trap is Fort Knox in Kentucky. Misleading broadcasts of gold, stockpiles and mountains of gold, fool the Centaurians into landing in Kentucky. General McNare coyly springs his trap with his expert team: Captain Hanna Kowalska, Captain Nathaniel Green, and others.
