The Fall of Nuclear Blackmail
The Kincaid Doctrine Series — Book Four
In his fourth year, President Victor Marshall Kincaid signs Executive Order IRONHALO, a deniable allied campaign to end nuclear hostage-taking without war. Acoustic disruption scrambles Russian command nodes; precision cyber corrupts launch timing chains; financial pressure sinks the dark fleet. UN warrants topple Moscow’s war cabinet; its arsenal is dismantled under supervision. Beijing strikes a bargain: a nuclear freeze and zero tariffs for engineering a Pyongyang coup and backing a settlement that reunifies Korea. A UN trusteeship transfers the far-eastern Russian arc near Alaska into U.S. stewardship—the emerging Bering Coast—planned by the Aurora Coast Authority.
Power invites predators. A vengeful Russian general, a GRU virtuoso, and a profiteering syndicate mount two assassination attempts—one nearly kills the First Lady, another targets Marine One in October. Campaigning for a second term, Kincaid defends safeguards—indigenous veto rights, public audits, a binding referendum—and wins. IRONHALO is a sharp political thriller about silencing the last nuclear bluff and earning the peace that follows.
Behind the Pages is your spoiler-safe companion: scene images, period maps, character backstories, timelines, and research notes—organized by book to enrich your read without slowing the story.
