COL (R) Scott Cottrell’s ’73 “When Chaos Reigns” is a political thriller set in today’s international and military environment. The book features relevant constitutional issues and political shenanigans in Washington D.C. that inevitably occur “when chaos reigns.”

In Cottrell’s story, China, Russia, a powerful drug cartel, and a radical Islamic terrorist group form a secret cabal bent on shocking America and its global influence to its core, while taking what they want across the globe. With the U.S. President facing impeachment on multiple counts and focused on securing a trade agreement with China without Senate approval, his actions put the Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll at risk and ignite the tinderbox of the South China Sea.

Can the web of corruption and deceit created by enemies, foreign and domestic, be uncovered and destroyed in time to save the United States and Western civilization?
