Crimson Phoenix

The first in a new series by award-winning, New York Times bestselling master of the action thriller, John Gilstrap!
With America brought to the brink of destruction by nuclear war, Congresswoman Victoria Emerson becomes a beacon of guidance to desperate citizens. They call the community they form Eden, but it's anything but paradise...

Victoria Emerson is a congressional member of the U. S. House of Representatives for the state of West Virginia. Her aspirations have always been to help her community and to avoid the ambitious power plays of her peers in Washington D. C. Then Major Joseph McCrea appears on her doorstep and uses the code phrase Crimson Phoenix, meaning this is not a drill. The United States is on the verge of nuclear war. Victoria must accompany McCrea to a secure bunker. She cannot bring her family.

A single mother, Victoria refuses to abandon her three teenage sons. Denied entry to the bunker, they nonetheless survive the nuclear onslaught that devastates the country. The land is nearly uninhabitable. Electronics have been rendered useless. Food is scarce. Millions of scared and ailing people await aid from a government that is unable to regroup, much less organize a rescue from the chaos.

Victoria devotes herself to reestablishing order--only to encounter the harsh realities required of a leader dealing with desperate people...
