I've started a new story with many of the same characters of my previous story "The War at Home", only this takes place about fifteen years after the end of War @ Home, with the three main characters of Julia, Nik and Jeremiah all in their mid- to late thirties with kids of their own.
There are currently ten completed chapters (a prologue and nine chapters), so if you want to go take a gander at this part of the series, check it out here:

The group of miliary officers met in a secret room in the White House, discussing their latest dilemma; how to eliminate those who had served with the New Army who were still stirring up trouble more than fifteen years after the Occupation ended.
"Prisons won't hold these clowns, because they just escape; Police are useless because these New Army holdouts are better armed than your average beat cop; We must do something before they get any crazy ideas about another Occupation!" said the General in Charge of all Military Operations.
"We definitely need some firepower against the holdouts," a Navy Commander said; "but who in our ranks has that kind of firepower?"
"No one in our ranks do," the General said. "The only people who might have a chance at stopping them are civilians, and one of them is former military. But all have the skills, the weapons, the knowledge of how the New Army did things."
"And did them badly, I might add," an Air Force Captain said.
"You're not thinking of recalling Nikolai San Marco to active duty, are you, General?" asked the Commander.
"I am," the General said; "but when he gave up his commission, he made it clear that he would not entertain a return to active duty."
"If we perhaps had someone at CIA who could contact him, explain our dilemma, do you think he'd consider it?" asked the Commander.
"I've been thinking of going that route," the General said; "but fighting the New Army is something he did as a teen and young adult. Once the Occupation was over, he finished college, joined the Army for a decade, raised a family. How he'd react is anyone's guess. I'm just afraid he'd turn us down."
"What if," the Commander said, "we sweeten the deal and contact Julia Summers and Jeremiah Donovan?"
"Not unless we have no choice," the General said; "Donovan is a highly respected journalist and wouldn't want to take time away from that to go chasing troublemakers around; Summers lost her husband three years ago and is working for the Government in another capacity. Both of them have families to think of. And Summers is a single parent now."
"Let's bounce this off CIA and see if they think it's a good idea," the Air Force Captain said; "No use in asking three former Resistance assassins to strap on their guns again if the CIA doesn't think it's a viable plan."
Everyone in the room agreed and shortly thereafter, the meeting adjourned.
