Price of Security
The Kincaid Doctrine — Book Two
Merchants of Venom was book 1 of the Kincaid Doctrine that waged war on the global drug trade, forging IRONSHIELD to shatter cartel logistics. Now the fight turns inward. JUSTICE STORM: Price of Security is Book 2 of the Kincaid Doctrine Series. After President Victor Marshall Kincaid signs an emergency order, Operation JUSTICESTORM deploys the SENTINEL division, CIVDEF-X citizen support, and rapid legal architectures to counter flash robs, highway blockades, and urban occupations. The promise is speed and clarity; the argument is what it costs at home.
Policy instruments—such as a Roadway Immunity Clause shielding drivers forced through unlawful blockades and Unified Civil Stabilization Jurisdictions enabling multi-agency action without formal martial law—deliver results while igniting national debate. Culture-charged measures (Identity Standardization, a National Heritage Restoration Act) add fuel, as innovations like the Sky-Eviction Protocol compress ethics into seconds.
From a televised signing to sieges, arson waves, and a smart-weapon spoof, the doctrine is tested in courtrooms, hospitals, and living rooms. A confrontation at a protest triggers an inquiry that narrows tactics through new safeguards and oversight—without abandoning the mandate to restore order.
A near-future political thriller about mastery versus management, safety versus self, and the line where power should stop.
