Starts off in someplace. Can't think of a good enough title for a city or anything. {any ideas, folks?}
There is a large, ominious thunderstorm moving in. Lightening everywhere. Rain hard pouring on the ground. A group of men are outside in the malstrom climbing up some power poles. Only thing is, these men are NOT Power Company employees. They are dressed in stolen uniforms. They have one mission in mind; destroy the power lines leading into the city. As this group of men are completing the project, a flash a thousand times brighter than the sun is seen. The ground shakes as if an earthquake is happening. Then, the lines are down. Three power support structures topple to the ground like dominoes. A series of six explosions emmit from the area. Ten men fall dead. The rest scramble for their lives. They rush out of the area and regroup at a cabin along the river. The leader is speaking to them, praising them for a job well done. As glasses of spirits are raised in memory of those fallen, the beginning of the book ends here.............
