Growing up, Luke Dryden was dominated by all things military; he is a natural for the army. So it is no surprise that he becomes a member of Special Air Services, the pride of Britain's Army. The SAS involves action, adventure, individual accomplishment, and comradeship without equal to any army in the world. What more could a British soldier ask for?
For years, Dryden serves his country well. But he soon becomes disillusioned by his country's leaders who seem to have no regard for the safety and well-being of its citizens, especially its armed forces. Twelve years of government by a gang of political revisionists headed by Tony Blair has reduced the United Kingdom to the status of a banana republic.
High-placed leaders within the military are fed up, including Colonel Jock Wingate. He envisions a military takeover of the government to save the country from those who seek to destroy it. Wingate recruits the talented Major Dryden to join the movement and become a fifth columnist working underground. But the goal to topple the diabolical New Labor Party will not be an easy one.

A CALL TO ARMS: A Prophecy
Chapter One
Luke Dryden was only six years old when his father was killed in the Battle of Goose Green in the Falklands War, so the tragedy did not have too great a bearing on his life until his later years. The loss was softened, to a great extent, by the arrival in his Shropshire village of his grandparents, who were determined to do what they could to help their daughter-in-law, Molly, and their two grandchildren, Luke and Jenny, in their hour of need. General John Dryden had served with distinction in the Parachute Regiment during and after the Second World War, and he immediately set about giving Luke all the love and attention his father would have lavished on him, had he lived.Luke's mother never remarried, and consequently his upbringing was to be greatly influenced by his grandfather, whom he came to address as "General." It was only natural that his early life would be dominated by all things military, for that was the General's great passion and also, it seemed, that of all his friends who came to visit them. It was also easy to see why his father had enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen and reached the rank of major in the Paratroop Regiment before he was killed in action.
Luke took to the new regime like a duck to water, spending long hours after school in the war room the General had constructed in the attic of his bungalow. Indoor war games became a way of life, and as Luke grew older, these were complemented with physical training exercises in the nearby woods, long route marches, and camping under the stars.
