Black Knight Squadron: Book 1: Foundations


John Chapman - 2018
    Like most of you would, they quickly know what's up. Unlike most people, the Black Knight Squadron has the training and resources to do something about it on a large scale. Caught in the friction between the emergency measures necessary to maintain order and their deep belief in the Constitution, the Black Knight Squadron must navigate the murky ethical and constitutional waters of a post-apocalyptic world using only their faith, trust in one another, and the skills born of years of hard work and training. Can they keep a mid-sized city from ripping itself apart? They don’t know, but they're going to try. We live in a time when our inner-city culture teeters on the edge of savagery. When the lights go out in America’s ghettos, it will be a short descent from the rule of law to the law of the jungle. The Black Knight Squadron saga of books are unique in that all of the capabilities and equipment, and most of the people, are real. While the Black Knight Squadron saga is primarily intended as an enjoyable work of fiction, it also serves as the author’s pre-game exercise for the apocalypse.
