I myself am something of an up-and-coming young writer. Of course if spell check and my college english teacher didn't exist that would not be possible. I have not yet published anything but i am currently working on a book titled "The Black Sparrows". the book takes place about 400 hundred years in the future after the end of World War Three (which I am sure in reality will come about 399 years sooner). It follows to men who stayed behind enemy lines all four years of the war and ultimately won the war for the allied nations. The book begins about a year and a half after the war ends and we fond that the two men have settled down in Montana and opened a hunting/bait shop/general store (I'm sure it exists somewhere, don't hate) with the money the recieved for their valor and patriotism. The main character, Jake, is a bit of a pessimist with a rather colorful sense of humor kept between him and the reader. He is also an avid bird watcher which greatly plays into the story line and the title itself. His best friend and the other leading character, Danny, is more of a loose cannon in a very comical sense, he is very free with his mouth, very much like that kid who solves all his problems and wins all his fights with sarcastic humor. Together the two make a very humorous pair. the story line itself is actually not the most original but it has its moments. Shortly after the start of the book you find out that the mess after WWIII has not yet been cleaned up and in the midst an American special forces squad was captured. Jake and Danny are found and confronted by their ex commanding officer and told to recruit 6 men and women from any branch of the military they want, to go back behind enemy lines. As the story continues the team uncovers a plot by the American government to take advantage of the world as it recovers from the war and create a world wide empire. The title itself is a metaphor explained in the book as so; Sparrows are the only bird, where no matter the size or the number of predators, they will defend their home and all of its contents. this itself applies to the squad which is why Jake(the avid birdwatcher) names his squad after the bird. i will keep anybody reading this updated as i continue with the story.
