So... More P&S in the meantime? Pretty please?
That's the goal. I wanted to get this finished so I could focus on that and hopefully wrap it up in the next few months.
Rejection and Revenge: An alternate 9/11 timeline

I started looking up Marine commanders, and wouldn't you know it, Mattis commanded a battalion in the Gulf War AND was in the role I envisioned. It was so perfect.
If the author goes this route, then ATL 9/11 truthers saying it wasn't Hezbollah/Iran would be right. The Towers were brought down by another group, and the US government covered it up.
Man, we need a sequel where some journalist stumbles on the truth and the poor guy finds himself in the middle of the largest conspiracy since... um... forever, I guess.

If you'll note from earlier in the TL, Tom Brokaw has already been making some disturbing discoveries on his own. I would love to see where this leads.

Wasn't that part of the plotline in the Icarus Falls T/L?
The Warrior Monk could very well surpass Chesty Puller in terms of how the jarheads worship him after this.
More like Chesty the Father to Mad Dog the Son, but close.
I actually haven't read it, despite my username. It's at the top of my list, a long with re-reading this TL
Not similar, but if you go down the Protect and Survive rabbit hole, wolverinethad is there.
NEWS!
So, some things that are going to be upcoming in the next few months:
The Taliban aren't quite as successful, so you'll see a division a la Yemen in the 1970s/80s. Anyways, go have a read!
- I have finished my outline for the sequel, and have posted a prologue here (which will be the home of the sequel T/L)
- I will be editing this T/L and adding some bonus content to be published as an e-book through Amazon. Purchases/spreading the word to non-forum readers will be greatly appreciated.
- This sequel T/L will take us through the end of 1996, so you'll get to enjoy both the U.S. and Russian elections.

So Afghanistan is divided between a Massoud controlled North and a Taliban controlled South?
Oh yeah, looking forward to the sequel!
Just one thing though... there's a bunch of chapters without thread marks in the index - makes trying to find certain chapters difficult...

I've been trying to catch those up when I have a minute...that feature didn't exist when I started writing the T/L.
I’m really happy for you, man. Thank you for blessing us with this awesome TL!
Will you be publishing through Sea Lion Press?
So the Afghan Civil War will be more or less the same as OTL up until Osama's capture? Where the Taliban won't blitzkrieg their way to Kabul as in OTL September 27, 1996?
It's happening!
I'm working on editing the story and adding the extra content right now, but here's a look at the cover. =D
I'll add the link to this thread and the new one as soon as editing is completed. I've also begun discussions with SLP as well, so I may end up in multiple places.
