Description
When the unthinkable happens - what happens next?
A nuclear weapon destroys Lower Manhattan. A million people die.
Millions more flee from a gigantic, deadly cloud of fallout.
The crisis has only begun.
President William Orwell Steele and his cabinet labor to cope with the aftermath of an unprecedented terrorist attack, while a host of ordinary Americans struggle merely to survive in a world where everything has changed. From the corridors of power to the squalor of refugee camps, from world capitols to the lawless frontiers of Pakistan, from economic collapse to armed rebellion, the impact of the May Day attack swiftly spreads to every aspect of society and every corner of the globe.
Advance Praise
Praise for May Day - Book One of American Sulla:
"This is master class storytelling by an accomplished author. Stark weaved an unbelievable tale into believability using skills and techniques seen in the likes of Clancy and Cussler. It is a big read, no doubt, and a credit to the author for holding my attention throughout. I felt myself gripping my kindle tighter and tighter as the apocalypse unfolded. The action was well delivered throughout the book and I enjoyed the political aspect immensely. I didn't agree with some of the policies and political views, which is how you know you are totally immersed in the story when you're talking and disagreeing with your e-reader as I did. The excellent character description and settings had me feeling as if I was in the room as they spoke as the events came to light."
"The visual imagery is excellent and reading chapters of May Day is like watching episodes of a television series, I can easily imagine this an action packed film. The graphic detail is delicately woven into the chapters in such away that it haunts you long after you finish reading."
"This is a book that makes me wish I still belonged to a book club, because I desperately want to talk about it for hours. It's the type of book that also makes me wish I could give it more than five stars.
Read it and really think about the question, ‘What if?’"
"... detail, depth and vivid prose reminiscent of James Michener volumes ..."
"A great read for anyone who loves techno-political drama."
"So many books in this vein are written from a ultra-right political position, so it was nice to see something to counter that a bit."
