The Russians are poised to launch a nuclear strike on the Iranian population as payback for a recent terrorist attack, forcing the President of the United States into a perilous situation. The CIA has confirmed the attack was indeed orchestrated by the Iranian government and now President Sam Robinson has a decision to make. Should the United States defend the helpless Iranian people? The fictional thriller, The Patriot Sword Protocol unfolds this scenario and the subsequent conflict with the Russian military. Eventually, an American stealth submarine faces off with a Russian ballistic missile sub and the crisis is fortunately averted, albeit temporarily. The Russian Prime Minister, Oleg Liminov has only postponed his revenge and added a new idea to his plan. Figure out a way to poison the vaccine in America for this fall's arrival of the next swine flu, H1N5. This year's version is supposed to be a nasty strain. Have you had your flu shot yet? The Russians are successful and when the Americans start to get very sick they show up in droves to get their shots. This begins a downward cycle causing the deaths of millions of people including most of our stateside military. With our country left defenseless, Oleg then attacks. He launches his invasion force out of Kamchatka, Siberia and the President must now figure out a way to repel the invaders. Only by enacting the Patriot Sword Protocol does he stand a chance.
