Small town reporter, Mia Durante, finds herself having brunch with the President of the United States on the day civilization comes to an end. An electromagnetic pulse blinds the U.S. Cars crash. Planes fall. Chaos reigns. Power is restored within minutes, but its already too late. Russian nukes are falling. U.S. allies around the world are all ready wiped out. The United States will cease to exist inside of five minutes. After giving the order to launch a full-scale retaliation, dooming the planet, the president, White House staff, Secret Service and those lucky enough to be visiting the white house, are whisked below ground where they board several Earth Escape Pods. As the EEPs launch into Earth orbit, missiles descend. Less than forty survive the end of the world. When they return, theyre greeted by survivors of a different sort. The bloodbath that follows leaves Durante and nine other survivors on the run. They find themselves fighting for survival in a world in which only torment remains and where death is the only escape. Jeremy Bishops first novel is a post-apocalyptic thriller combining zombie-like hordes and a surreal Dantes Inferno style setting that moves the reader to experience REAL emotion-sometimes excitement, sometimes anger, but mostly fear-as it asks the question no one likes to answer: Are you ready?… (more)
