Book Synopsis
Stephen King's THE STAND meets ONE SECOND AFTER by William R. Forstchen in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author John Gilstrap's second pulse-pounding thriller set in the wake of a global conflict that has devastated America. Those who survived live in a world without technology or governance and ruled by the whims of nature. They look to one woman--single mother and former West Virginia Congressperson Victoria Emerson--to lead and protect those determined to rebuild all they have lost... "Engrossing...Fans of doomsday military thrillers will delight in the resilience of Gilstrap's family of preppers and their quest for survival on their terms." -Publishers Weekly One-time congressional representative Victoria Emerson has become the leader of a small town in West Virginia, where it's a struggle just to provide food and shelter. Progress is encouraging--until one morning her son sounds the alarm "Blue Fire!"--the code phrase for imminent danger. A renegade band of National Guardsmen wants to take over the town and steal its resources. They've got the firepower to eliminate anyone who puts up a fight. But Victoria swore an oath to defend her people. It's time to tap into the traditional American values of courage, ingenuity, and patriotism--and fight fire with fire.About the Author

The second book in this series, Blue Fire delves into the life of former legislator Victoria Emerson as she tries to bring together like minded people who survived 'Hell Day'. With her youngest sons and her 'team' who collected her and stayed with her after she refused to be separated from her children, she has become the 'leader' of a town in West Virginia and is trying to rebuild some semblance of civilization. As she works through these problems, we see love coming into the equation, and people who were thought lost, return. A literal battle for supremacy takes place. Which side will win? Is there really any winner when there is a world war? This book was a bit frightening. As we look at the world RIGHT NOW, the ability of nations striking nations and obliterating our way of living is all too true. Mr. Gilstrap has taken our fears and given them a voice. What if the unthinkable happened? What if we had to learn to live off the land again? What if there were bad people trying to take what we've worked for? What if money means nothing? Do we have any skills that we can barter? How long might YOU last if the world as we know it goes away in the blink of an eye? Great read. Unsettling? Yes. Does this book make you think? Absolutely.
