Sgt. Richard Kind is by far one of my favorite characters.  The idea for him came from a combination of two men. One was a drill instructor I had in Jr. R.O.T.C. The other comes from my childhood hero, Sgt. Slaughter. 

Sgt. Kind is a strict, no-nonsense marine who finds himself in a war for the very future of mankind. In his very first appearance, he is training a group of soldiers to take on an invasion of America. Everyone assumes it is a foreign country attacking when, in reality, it is an alien race bent on taking over the planet. 

​

Sgt. Kind appears in all the future series that eventually ties into several other books, with him ending up a time traveler to save the future. 

 

Now, where is he?

Once the future was restored, Sgt. Kind begins anew in a series all his own titled 1954. It is part of My Expanded World, where he is battling against a terrorist group that is led by none other than Adolf Hitler.  In the book, he works with some exciting allies and villains. It is a fun, thrilling ride across the world.
