Blue Fire
A Victoria Emerson Thriller Book 2 zz
. .
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.

A Victoria Emerson Thriller Book 1
. . .
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 . .

Sounds scary, like something that could happen to us in the near future, hopefully not. I would love to read this book.
The plot is intriguing. I think this would be an exciting read.
My husband and I are big John Gilstrap fans. His book series 'Johnathan Grave' is one of our favorites.
