Blue Fire: A Riveting New Thriller (A Victoria Emerson Thriller) by John Gilstrap A thrilling new suspense novel with shades of The Stand and One Second After from the New York Times bestselling author of the Jonathan Grave series, that fans of Ben Coes and Brad Taylor won't want to miss! In the wake of a global conflict that has devastated America, those who survived live in a world without technology or governance. 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 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.
Will over the horizon technological responses cut it in places, like Afghanistan, where American boots on the ground have been replaced with eyes in the skies?

Ben Coes is a NYT bestselling author of political thriller and espionage novels who draws upon his early career at the White House, and his Godfather's experience as a Navy Seal, to write realistic books with plots that could be ripped from tomorrow's headlines. In Coe's latest book, THE ISLAND (St. Martin's Press), America faces the worst terrorist attack since 9/11 as Iran puts a plan in motion to exact revenge for years of sanctions. Another of Iran's goals is to neutralize the CIA's most successful agent, Dewey Andreas. The first pre-emptive attack against Dewey Andreas fails, but it worries the head of the CIA enough that he orders Dewey to go off the grid somewhere far away. An order Dewey refuses. But as intelligence analysts work as fast as they can to unravel the chatter on terrorist networks, Iran launches a bold strike. When the President arrives in New York to address the U.N., embedded terrorist assets blow up the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan to the mainland. Taking control of the island with its hidden forces, they race to the U.N. in search of Dellenbaugh and to launch an even deadlier attack that will wreak unimaginable destruction on the country itself. Coes paints a picture of a country shocked by an attack and unable to respond, with the only hope living with CIA agent Dewey Andreas who sneaks onto the island of Manhattan to fight seemingly impossible odds. About the Author: BEN COES is the New York Times bestselling author of international espionage thrillers, including Trap the Devil, Eye for an Eye, Independence Day, and First Strike. Before writing his first novel, Power Down, he worked at the White House under two presidents and was a Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. He lives with his wife and four children in Wellesley, Massachusetts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

But their well-honed CIA instincts tell them this is only the beginning. McBride and Fontana set out to learn who ordered the midnight raid, and why. Is it connected to a rescue mission they conducted with Genneken in South America—a mission that nearly killed McBride? Is it related to the string of assassinations happening simultaneously in that area of the world? Or both? With the help of their CIA contacts and aided by Genneken, the two men unravel a criminal plot with global implications. And as their race to find answers unspools in six supercharged hours, McBride and his team will be tested like never before.
