Homefront by John Milius

This extensive text details a future American landscape drastically altered by a Korean invasion following a devastating EMP attack in 2025. The narrative primarily follows Ben Walker, a former journalist who becomes the Voice of Freedom, a radio broadcaster delivering news and rallying resistance across the occupied nation. We witness the initial chaos and breakdown of society in Los Angeles after the EMP, the harsh reality of the Korean occupation including mass executions and forced labor, and the emergence of scattered resistance cells. Walker, alongside allies like Kelsie Wilcox and Sergeant Kopple, journeys across the country, navigating destroyed infrastructure, hostile gangs, and the omnipresent threat of the Korean military, ultimately seeking to cross the contaminated Mississippi River to reach the seemingly untouched East Coast. The text also provides insight into the Korean perspective through Salmusa, a high-ranking operative tasked with quashing the American resistance, highlighting the Greater Korean Republic's motives and strategies for controlling the conquered territory.
