When Lieutenant Gerald Yamato of the Republic of California Air Force bailed out of his doomed fighter he had no idea he would land in a culture that would forever change his life. The Dená thought they had won their independence and the war was over. Suddenly they face an advancing Russian army from one direction, a merciless band of mercenaries from another, as well as the remnants of a defeated, angry, Russian army between the Dená and the rest of their people. Despite assurances by distant, bland diplomats to the contrary, the new Dená Republik has a whole new war on their hands. But they are not alone. The Tlingit Nation shares their struggle, and the USA and the Republic of California vow all the aid they can muster. But will it be enough and what will it cost? Alaska Republik

Riordan seethed inside. They might chain his arms but he could still run like the wind given the opportunity. Delcambré seemed to have an awful lot of chain for just two men.

“Turn around and face the village,” Cassidy ordered.

“Damn,” N’go said softly as he complied. Riordan did as ordered.

“Riordan, put your hands behind your back.”

Cassidy was beginning to get on his nerves.

Metal clicked around one wrist, then the other. Both manacles were tightened to the point of pain, but he was damned if he would give them the pleasure of hearing him whine.

“Now put your feet together!”

Riordan’s heart sank as Delcambré snapped leg irons on his ankles just above his boots.

So much for running. He wondered if they would hang him.

Delcambré went to work on N’go. As a final insult, the little bastard chained him and N’go together.

“There we are. They can shuffle but they can’t hide!”

All three of the captors laughed.

“Start for the village. You first, Riordan.”

He almost fell with the first step. His feet could only move a foot from each other. Now he was very sure that he hated Yukon Cassidy and, if the tables ever turned, would kill him in an instant.

It took forever to reach the edge of the village. A utility waited and four armed soldiers watched him hobble up to them.

“So this is the bad-ass Riordan?”

“That’s him, Heinrich. Do not give him a chance of any sort. He has killed two men in cold blood to escape and been the cause of the deaths of many others.”

Heinrich looked around at his men. “You all heard the man. Now put these two where they can’t get into any more trouble.”

The men grabbed them and threw them into the back of the utility. Two crawled into the bed with them and, once the others got into the cab, rapped on the roof. The vehicle lurched off over uneven ground throwing Cassidy and N’go about like unsecured crates.

After an eternity of painful buffeting and slamming against the metal sides, the vehicle stopped. Riordan and N’go were slid out and pulled upright. The heavy log building boasted welded steel bars at the three windows Riordan could see.

“Move out,” Heinrich ordered.

“How long will we be here?” Riordan asked, biting off each word.

“Until your trial. And after that until they hang you.”

He felt like weeping.

Tanana, Provisional Capital of Alaska Republik


“Mr. First Speaker, we captured Riordan and N’go. They are the first prisoners in the new jail.” Cassidy grinned. “So how do you feel, Pelagian?”

“Euphoric and hopeful. I know this is going to be a tumultuous four years. But since we’re all brand new at it, I think we can pull it off.”
