Broken!: A true story of terror, torture, and treason, in fictional form to avoid legal retaliation against those who were there

When disgraced S.E.R.E. (Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape) instructor, Captain Charles “Chauncey” Paunce is asked by the FBI to train the CEO’s of the world’s most advanced drone manufacturers to learn to resist torture (by torturing them!), he reluctantly agrees. Driven by his desire for redemption and love of American Constitutional Freedoms, Chauncey subjects some of the world’s most rich and powerful men to the harsh interrogation resistance techniques designed for Navy SEALs, Army RANGERs, Air Commandos, RECON & Raider Marines and JSOC Operators. Unable to bear Chauncey’s intensive sessions, many of the CEOs break and unwittingly reveal "Industry Proprietary" secrets. But it seems they are the same secrets -- held only by The Industrialists Themselves -- which like Odysseus unlock a ruthless riddled conspiracy. This conspiracy is aimed at taking away the constitutional rights to privacy and freedom enjoyed by every American citizen, as the plot reaches the highest levels of the government and the military establishment. Only too happy to take his payment, and go on his way, Chauncey survives an assassination attempt aimed at keeping him quiet about what the CEOs said as they were taught "torturous techniques, themselves! Knowing that the only way he will survive is to take down whoever tried to kill him first . . . Chauncey leaps into survival mode. With the aid of his expert intelligence & Geoscientific skills, and a group of former Navy SEAL/SWCCs from Coronado, California, Chauncey fights through a web of cutting-edge, weaponized drones and a string of massacres of high-level engineers in the Drone Industry itself. From a desolate village in War-torn Afghanistan, to the Mojave Desert, to the skies over San Diego, this story is a thrill ride that combines real modern-day issues with enhanced robotics, illegal surveillance, explosions... virtue, morals, and the impossibility for . . . redemption.
