Mongol Moon

World War III began years ago, and the American government doesn’t even know it.

For years, while Iran and North Korea kept Western diplomats distracted, China and Russia quietly seeded the United States with spies and soldiers. Now a silent army of occupation waits inside American borders. When the coordinated assault finally begins with a devastating EMP strike that instantly disables the electrical grid and neutralizes U.S. defenses, the nation is caught completely unprepared. The country is lost in a single day.

In the chaos that follows, it falls to ordinary citizens to defend their cities, towns, neighborhoods, and families. Among them are the Washingtons of Northern Virginia. Gale Washington, an analyst at the Operations Center for Joint Intelligence Command, and his wife Joey, a Navy commander, suddenly find themselves stripped of rank and title—just two more people fighting to survive in a world that has changed overnight. As society fractures and foreign forces tighten their grip, the Washingtons and their neighbors must decide how far they are willing to go to protect what remains of their home.

Mongol Moon is Mark Sibley’s acclaimed debut novel and the explosive beginning of the Mongol Moon series. It delivers a chillingly plausible vision of near-future global conflict through the eyes of everyday Americans forced into extraordinary circumstances. For fans of high-stakes military thrillers, EMP survival stories, and thought-provoking tales of resilience and resistance, this is a gripping warning of how quickly everything can change—and how ordinary people can still fight back.
