Blue Fire

By John Gilstrap
Blue Fire by John Gilstrap digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author John Gilstrap, a new Victoria Emerson Thriller. With America brought to the brink of destruction, one woman becomes the last hope of a nation and its people.
 
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.
 
Praise for the Victoria Emerson Thriller Series

“I found the explanation of the timeline very hard to follow but the plot made sense. It’s a fast read with consistent plot points.”
“Thank you again to NetGalley for an eARC of this book. The second installment in this series, this book apparently picks up right where the 1st one ended. Without reading the 1st book, I did not feel like that hampered my experience with this one. The events of the first book are referenced and discussed enough by the characters that I felt that I was able to catch on quickly as to what happened. The characters in this book are fully fleshed out, grab your attention as a reader, and don't give you your attention back until you're finished reading. Victoria Emerson is now one of my all-time favorite heroes in a book that I've read. The best part of this post-apocalyptic thriller is how well John Gilstrap conveys the full range of human reactions, emotions, and feelings that might accompany an event like Hell Day. You feel connected to the best of the best, the worst of the worst, and everyone in between. Can't wait for this to be published so I can add it, along with the 1st book Crimson Fire, to my shelves.”
