Blue Fire
A Victoria Emerson Thriller Book 2
by John Gilstrap
Genre: Thriller, Suspense
John
Gilstrap, the New
York Times and USA
Today bestselling
author of the Jonathan Grave novels, continues his acclaimed Victoria
Emerson thriller series with Blue
Fire.
In the wake of a global conflict that has devastated America,
one woman must lead—and protect—a community of survivors
determined to rebuild all they have lost . . .
They
call it Hell Day—a world war that lasted less than twenty-four
hours. Nations unleashed weapons that destroyed more than a century’s
worth of technology. Electrical grids cannot generate power.
Communications and computers cannot run. And the remnants of the U.
S. government cannot be depended upon. Those who survived must live
as their ancestors did, off a land ruled by the whims of nature.
One-time
congressional representative Victoria Emerson has become the new
leader of the small town of Ortho, West Virginia. She has been
struggling to provide food and shelter for the town’s inhabitants,
while coping with desperate refugees. An autumn morning’s calm is
shattered when her teenage son sounds the alarm with the cry “Blue
Fire”—the code phrase for imminent danger.
A
band of National Guardsmen intends to take Ortho and its resources
for themselves. They have enough soldiers and firepower to eliminate
anyone who dares to stop them. But Victoria swore an oath to defend
and protect her people, and she isn’t about to surrender. It’s
time to tap into the traditional American values of courage,
ingenuity, and determination – and fight fire with fire.

York Times and USA
Today bestselling
author of the Jonathan Grave novels, comes Crimson
Phoenix—first
in the new Victoria Emerson Thriller series. With America
brought to the brink of destruction, one woman becomes the last hope
of a nation and its people . . .
Victoria
Emerson is a congressional member of the U. S. House of
Representatives for the state of West Virginia. Her aspirations have
always been to help her community and to avoid the ambitious power
plays of her peers in Washington D. C. Then Major Joseph McCrea
appears on her doorstep and uses the code phrase Crimson
Phoenix,
meaning this is not a drill. The United States is on the verge of
nuclear war. Victoria must accompany McCrea to a secure bunker. She
cannot bring her family.
A
single mother, Victoria refuses to abandon her three teenage sons.
Denied entry to the bunker, they nonetheless survive the nuclear
onslaught that devastates the country. The land is nearly
uninhabitable. Electronics have been rendered useless. Food is
scarce. Millions of scared and ailing people await aid from a
government that is unable to regroup, much less organize a rescue
from the chaos.
Victoria
devotes herself to reestablishing order—only to encounter the harsh
realities required of a leader dealing with desperate people . .

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this! I can't wait to give it a read; the plot sounds so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe use of a National Guard unit as the bad guys is a sobering idea. I would hope that such a unit would be more interested in supporting communities trying to do well, rather than taking them over, especially since in most cases the unit would be made of people from such communities.
