A GUT-WRENCHING JOURNEY TOWARD AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE. A world without power... A society in collapse ... A handful of survivors facing impossible odds against the corrupt remains of their own government. In the months following a global blackout, gangs fill the power vacuum left by a disintegrating government, and survivors flee the violence-ravaged cities. But sheer numbers outstrip the available resources and refugees find only hunger and squalor in government run camps. Unrest rises, and an overwhelmed government prioritizes maintaining order. Food and clean water are in short supply, but not bullets. As the government evolves into a police state, the people rise. A pulse-pounding tale with the outcome ever in doubt. You won't be able to put PUSH BACK down.
DEMOCRACY'S LAST STAND A global power outage... An emerging dictatorship ... A struggle for freedom against overwhelming odds ... When a tyrant uses a global emergency to manipulate his way into the Presidency, he then abandons any pretense of maintaining democracy and uses an army of mercenaries to enforce ‘emergency national security measures’ as a cover to confiscate all resources for the benefit of those loyal to his regime. But his control is not complete, and he is obsessed with finding the one man who can derail his plans. Congressman Simon Tremble, former Speaker of the House and the legitimate presidential successor is on the run, a hunted fugitive. But Tremble has a few plans of his own. Across the country, isolated, outnumbered, and outgunned survivors steel themselves for democracy's last stand. A haunting tale you won't put down. Or want to.
