Philadelphia Academy Of Cadets

Join Colonel Preston Steele, now retired Brigadier General, from my military action novel The Will Of America - America Spartans, as he and four other military-trained men are recruited to head a massive grant program designed to positively impact 140 delinquent and misguide teenaged boys from some of Philadelphia's toughest neighborhoods in this exciting and powerful new drama about an up and coming kick-butt precision drill team. Tasked with the near impossible; turning these wild, and potentially violent, boys into well-disciplined young men, as well as productive citizens, these five men are more than up for the challenge. The path isn't an easy one as the five face multiple issues, some life-threatening, as they go about being the role models and image makers these rogue boys lacked growing up. Many are rival gang members sworn to live and die by the laws of their gang and whatever lessons they learned on the streets. The question is will the majority of these malcontents learn the lesson they are sent there to learn and that is United We Stand, Divided We Fall? The answer is a lesson our politicians, our parents, and our communities could possibly take to heart and learn from.
