Thank you so much to everyone who has helped make The Kidd Incident such a huge success. We have had over 100,000 page views on this page alone and thousands and thousands of readers for the complete series. Now that the original story is complete, it is available as a novel on Amazon. You can find The Kidd Incident here. You can also read Episode 1 for free. Note that the novel is essentially a cleaned up version of the story that was posted here, not a new story.
This project began in September of 2018 as a way to explore a topic that has floated around Quora for many years: what would happen in a modern conflict between China and the USA. To make the story work, some scenarios like full-on nuclear war have been sidelined. The goal is to tell a story from the US Military perspective which means that other perspectives are muted intentionally. This doesn’t mean those perspectives are unimportant, they are just not the focus of this work.
This site is now dedicated to the sequel to The Kidd Incident. Modern Warfare Book 2: The Sonoran Incursion. Just like the original Kidd Incident, the Sonoran Incursion will be shared here in episode format, one episode at a time. Over the past four years, we have received thousands of comments, suggestions, and messages of support. Please know that we read EVERY ONE and we appreciate your input and support.

You can start Book 2 here.
Enjoyed Book 1 as a novel. Will Book 2 also be available as a novel soon?
Yes, the plan is to finish the story here and then compile all the community feedback and compile into a novel. Same as book 1.
