Summary

CIA operator Eric Brent and his revolutionary light weapon invention is used by CIA to flush out a secretive, phantom military/civilian group hostile to a free-spending, overreaching US government. Recovering from gunshot wounds, this final assignment comes before Eric enters the private sector as a weapons inventor/researcher. The intelligence assignment goes astray when Eric exposes a far-reaching and well-planned American military takeover that is within days of unfolding within the United States. Former lover Jill Warren reenters his life. A press secretary for a political candidate heavily involved in the Right Guard, Jill enrages the small secret core within the CIA protecting Eric, placing her own life in danger. This small, loyal group within the intelligence community discovers an alarming and surprising mix of industrialists, businessmen, and government officials who are immersed and leading the movement. Personal and professional conflicts for Eric arise as he gathers evidence and information and reaches back in his high-ranking father's Nazi Germany past to solicit help. Keeping himself and Jill safe while protecting the U.S. president from Right Guard arrest-all lead up to the final few minutes in the Oval Office as Right Guard U.S. senators approach the president and the takeover unfolds. The year is 1978, yet the Right Guard eerily depicts the present state of the political and economic climate of the United States and a possible alarming scenario and outcome.
