The Defense Department loses a U.S. Supreme Court battle with environmental organizations over the cleanup of nuclear waste left from former military underground bomb tests on Alaska's Amchitka Island. Shortly after the court decision, a massive earthquake at Amchitka pulverizes the waste material and kills military contractors who were there to remove it. Russia uses the destruction to spread disinformation, claiming the U.S. was staging new nuclear missiles in the Aleutians, raising international tensions. Meanwhile, resource development devotees and conservationists are anxiously waiting for a remanded part of the decision in the Supreme Court case that would shut down most of the fossil fuel extraction industry. Operation Wind Storm, the third novel in the Zilla Gillette series finds our intrepid reporter, right in the middle of the conflict, reporting on emerging facts. This assignment has Gillette tracking the explosive tensions between environmentalists and development proponents over the growing divide between those who want to end resource development in the name of slowing climate change and those who want to continue to create jobs in the fossil fuel extraction industry. The carbon fuel fans in Alaska are under the leadership of former Arkansas televangelist shyster, Jerry Justice, who enlists the lethal Jamie Lynn Carter, fresh out of prison for the murder of militia leader, General Alex Burke, (Zilla's first assignment in American Home Wrecker). With funding from a Russian operative who is determined to further disrupt and divide Americans, Justice and Carter whip up a deadly fury in Alaska and across the country. Death threats drive environmental organization leaders into hiding, culminating in chaos and a suicidal plane crash in Anchorage during a single day of deadly clashes between the differing ideologies about the best path forward for the future of energy and Democracy in America.
