Edge of Battle

"Edge of Battle" (Dale Brown)(audio) - This one was bizarre. I don't know if his editor came to him and said "You're scenarios are too believable, it's scaring people". Here we have a group of Mexicans who believe the western US belongs to them. Then they engineer border skirmishes and steal nuclear weapons (not sure what they want the nukes for, they get blown up (reeeaal goood) before we can find out).

Why? To force the US to implement a guest worker program.

The book turns all cheery 1984 at the end too; with the Mexican and American presidents gulping down nano-tracking pills and smiling for the camera (only people with something to hide avoid swallowing nano-tracking pills!).
