Alea Jacta Est: A Novel Of The Fall Of America (Future History Of America Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
As Erik watched his select group of swordsmen practice the moves he had just demonstrated with his katana, he came to the conclusion that they needed a title. There was really nothing he or anyone else could award them, they were really just trying to survive. They didn’t have the luxury of medals or prizes. Perhaps a pair of binoculars or a bow and some arrows? He asked himself. He and Hoss had brought back a truckload of supplies. And other raiders had been dispatched. There would be more loot coming in soon. Idly, he plucked at the bandage still wrapped tightly around his lower torso. The wounds from the Battle were healing nicely, but they itched now, a handful of days into the healing process. He had started with three men wielding his swords during the Battle. One, a man named Roger Pansk had been killed. Erik had cleaned the Viking sword Roger had used so effectively and replaced it in his collection, then later loaned it to Hoss. The two other men who had borrowed his ninja swords—a shorter, straight version of his katana—had both survived the fight. During the memorial ceremony the day following the Battle, Erik had made a great show of recognizing those who had willingly put their lives on the line for the protection of the complex. As a result, he bestowed on the two swordsmen his swords as gifts, one warrior to another. The two men were beaming from ear to ear for about 36 hours after that. They were warriors, not merely a financial advisor and a college student anymore. The swords they wore on their backs proclaimed them to be veterans. They had seen the elephant and survived to tell the tale.
