Pinedale Incident Allen Dark

Pinedale Incident by Texas author Allen Dark is a complex suspense-thriller interwoven with some of the most serious real-world problems we face today: corruption, unregulated private capital abuses, overpopulation, sustainability, globalization, and hazards in our food supply system. In Pinedale Incident, Cody Williams was happy with his work as a black ops assassin until he suffered career-blocking injuries during a covert nighttime operation and resigned from the Army. Seeking to find a new path and recast himself in the civilian world, he has returned to his home ground in Central Texas and accepted an interim job as foreman of of an innovative organic ranch owned by two old friends. Life in the civilian world looks like smooth sailing at first, but he soon finds himself caught up with his friends in a civilian-style fight with a powerful gang of investors. The gang has teamed up with the mayor of Austin in a scheme to condemn the ranch and use the land to develop a satellite city. Cody helps his friends deal with a number of crisis situations created by the gang and struggles to suppress his martial instincts as he searches for a civil way to turn a political tide that's rising against them. Near the brink of defeat and with time running out, the situation suddenly gets much worse and Cody must make decisions that will impact the rest of his life.
