MWSA Review

Set in a post-EMP World War III Wyoming, this military thriller follows the Wyoming Army of Resistance as it wages guerrilla warfare against occupying Russian and Chinese forces while racing to secure critical nuclear assets before they can be used. The story delivers a high-stakes narrative grounded in tactical realism, with a clear focus on operational planning, combat execution, and the pressures of asymmetric warfare in a collapsed infrastructure environment. Action sequences are a particular strength, offering clarity, momentum, and immediacy that keep the story moving at a strong pace.

The novel will appeal to readers who enjoy military fiction centered on special operations, resistance movements, and strategic conflict scenarios. With a large ensemble cast of characters and a steadily escalating conflict, it builds a cohesive and continuously evolving storyline that supports the broader Mongol Moon Universe.

Review by Bob Ritchie

 

Author's Synopsis

The Russians and Chinese need our crops. They believe America is broken and attack.

In Wyoming, they will find out what unbreakable means. Brigadier General Lance Bear Wolf and his team form the Wyoming Army of Resistance. The very survival of America is at stake… and Wolf will not let it die.

From the wind-swept plains with their ICBM silos to the blood-soaked snow of occupied Cheyenne, Wolf ignites a rebellion that spreads across the Rockies. Every strike risks annihilation. Every decision is a fight between his principles and a primeval need to avenge the staggering losses America has suffered.

Written in the Mark Sibley Mongol Moon universe—where World War III is not a nightmare but a brutal reality—Dances With Arrows is a raw, relentless story of sacrifice and resistance in America’s darkest hour.
