Author Description

It's the 1970s. The United States and The Soviet Union have been locked in a Cold War since the end of WWII. Both sides try to control as much territory and influence as many people as possible. Each side accuses the other of being the aggressor. Many people predict an Apocalypse and they are proven correct when the Soviet Union unleashes nuclear missiles on nine of The United States' largest and most important cities. Caught up in all this are Greg and Heather Tilton, an average American couple, who are vacationing on St. Thomas Island when the missiles are launched. Follow their dangerous and exciting journey by boat, train, automobile, feet and a coffin back to The United States and Topeka, Kansas, where they have left their two children, Chad and Rachel. Find out what role a black native with the intriguing name of Abraham Emancipation Lincoln plays. See what happens when they return to Topeka and find it in the hands of the Home Guard - a group of Communist ruffians. Go with them as they escape into the Sugarloaf Mountains in Wyoming where they set up a sabotage base against the communists. Walk with them as they become saboteurs and find out what happens to this band of eight as they stand against the power of the Soviet Union.
