(It is The One Year War.) The others he (Rex) sent to Russia to raid and destroy railways, roads, bridges, powerdams, electric transmission lines, aircraft, trucks and shipping, docks, warehouses, and factories, refineries and oil storage depots. Rex launched 64 Ram-1's on the 7th day of the one year war. Fifty exploded in Moscow. Fourteen were allowed to be shot down. They fell on Moscow, causing lots of damage and death! Six new Red-1's were ready so Rex, Eva, Snaca, Sally, Appleton and Ginger, unwilling to be absentee Generals and stay safely hidden in the Golden City, strapped themselves in the little fighters at 0800 and took off for Russia. Rex took the flight to 30,000 feet where they put the fighters on robot control with sensors and scanners on, checked all weapons, then relaxed and watched the scenery, talking back and forth with each other. The high early sky was beautiful and filled them with a sense of wonder at the immensity, complexity, simplicity and colors of nature. They were on a grim, implacable, destructive mission to Russia. They did not defend what they did, nor justify it. They simply did it. They did not hate the Russian people, nor seek revenge, nor glory, satisfaction, joy or fun. Russia, in all her might of million men armies, powerful airforce, large navy, atomic missiles, simply would not leave the Island of E-denn because she was asked to. Rex and his friends knew that, so did the world. Russia would have to be made to leave the Island because Russia did not believe, and could not accept, the fact that she had to do anything she did not want to do. So Rex and Eva and their friends flew into Russia to show Russia that this time - THIS TIME, she was going to do something she did not want to do, whether she wanted to or not. Rex and Eva and their friends were willing to fight for what they believed in and they were willing to fight at the front. Rex took his flight over the Rock of Gibraltar, down the length of the Mediterranean, then over the Black Sea, and on into Russia. Rex followed the track of the Ram-1's, staying out of European airspace as much as possible by flying over the sea. The Europeans claimed the land, the sea, and the air. The Red-1's were picked up by Russian radar at once. Migs were scrambled to intercept them. When missiles were fired at them, Rex took them up, up, fast, until the missiles ran out of fuel and fell back to explode on Russian soil. Rex went down, down, until they were skimming the ground. Rex and Eva took aircraft, Snaca and Sally, took railroads, Appleton and Ginger, roads, highways, trucks, and automobiles. They would rendezvous over Moscow in three hours at 50,000 feet. They split up and went to work. Rex and Eva went up and around in a screaming climbing turn, to attack a flight of eight Migs trying to catch them. They climbed towards the Migs at Mach 2, shot a missile into the mouths of the two leading Migs as they flashed by, rolled over on their backs and came diving down on the Migs again before the Russian pilots knew what was happening. The two little 12 inch long E-denn missiles had gone straight into the air scoops of the two Migs then exploded. The Migs pilots ejected as their planes fell. Rex and Eva came in on the tails of the last two Migs, shot missiles into their tailpipes, went down, under the others, put on power and came climbing back at the Migs at Mach 2. The two jets at the tail end of the flight blew up. The pilots bailed out. The remaining four Migs began to scatter, but they were too late. Rex and Eva were climbing too fast. Two more E-denn missiles struck and two more Migs went down. The last two Migs split up and dived for the ground. Rex took one, Eva the other. The Red-1's easily caught up with the Migs, and the little missile up the tailpipe did the job. The pilots ejected. Eight Russian Migs destroyed in a little over two minutes. Rex and Eva went hunting for more. Snaca and Sally remained low, skimming the ground, until they found the railroad track they were looking for, turned and flew over the tracks 100 feet up and slowed down. Snaca flew over the telephone poles alongside the railroad tracks while Sally flew over the tracks. Snaca and Sally set the Red-1's on robot control then had Snaca's robot fire a missile at each telephone pole, while Sally's fired a missile into the rails, one every second. Snaca and Sally flew down the railroad tracks knocking over telephone poles and tearing up the rails. On and on they flew, leaving destruction behind them. They came to a train going the same way, stopped firing until they were beyond the train then started firing far enough ahead so the train would have room to stop. When the train stopped, Snaca went back and hovered over the steam engine until the trainmen were safely out, then destroyed the engine. When he was through, Snaca flew on to catch up with Sally where he started shooting telephone poles again. The Red-1's picked up aircraft approaching, so Snaca and Sally turned to meet them, accelerating to Mach 2. The Mig fighters came diving down on them. Snaca and Sally climbed up to meet them, shooting the two lead Migs down at long range, zoomed past, turned, slashed back, got two more, screamed around and got two more. The Migs began to scatter. Snaca and Sally shot down eight of them before the Migs could escape, then went back to shoot up some more telephone poles and railroad tracks. Appleton and Ginger went up to 500 feet and the first highway they came to, turned towards Moscow. Appleton shot missiles at the telephone poles, while Ginger balled the highway with a ball gun, shooting the 2 1/2 inch diameter plastic explosive ball. Aurell wanted to try the device to see how effective it was. It worked fine. It put big holes in the highway.

About the Author
Robert James Warner was born and raised in Long Beach, California. He went to the local schools. He was drafted into the Navy on March 9th, 1944, during the 2nd World War as soon as he finished his last semester in High School. He was discharged from the Navy on June 16, 1946. Mr. Warner went back to school, Long Beach City College, on the G.I. Bill, taking Mechanical Engineering, then he switched to journalism. After about a year and a half at City College he quit. Mr. Warner had always been interested in writing, but he had huge handicaps to overcome: he couldn't spell (he still can't); and grammar was then and is now a mystery to him. Mr. Warner first began to write when he was about 20. During the next few years he wrote some songs and some poetry and some short stories, but his output was quite low. From 1947, after Mr. Warner left City College, to 1950, he had a number of different inconsequential jobs, the longest at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach where he worked in the blueprint department for eight months, then he quit and loafed awhile. In 1950 he enlisted in the Active Naval Reserve as a Weekend Warrior, so he could learn seamanship and get paid doing it. He has had a life long love affair with boats (building his own) and fishing. About three months later, the Korean War started and Mr. Warner was called back to active duty in the Navy Aircorp for a year, getting discharged in August, 1951, serving on three aircraft carriers, operating off of Korea in the China Sea, bombing and strafing the communists! After Korea, Mr. Warner went back to City College for awhile, then he got a job on a freighter as a deckhand, and made two trips to the Hawaiian Islands, about 30 days round trip, hauling bulk sugar for C&H Sugar in Crocket California on the Sacramento River. Leaving the ship in Crocket he went to Santa Rosa, California, where he washed dishes in some restaurants and got a poem published in the local newspaper, a big day in his life. Next, he went to Yosemite, and washed some more dishes then he went home. Mr. Warner has cleaned chicken dung from under the pens; he owned and operated his own auto wrecking yard; owned his own 2nd Store; was half owner of a Yacht Landing; speculated in Real Estate and worked at some other odd jobs, going to work for the Long Beach Fire Department in 1953 for the next 26 years, retiring in October 1979. Mr. Warner got married in 1961, had his son in 1963, then got divorced in 1973. In 1974, Mr. Warner and his son, Jeff, drove to Alaska during the summer. On his return, Mr. Warner wrote his first novel. Since 1974, Mr. Warner has written 15 novels, about 125 short stories, two Civil War books, and two poetry collections.
