About this ebook

Jeremy Robinson’s first pulse-pounding horror novel (originally penned under his Jeremy Bishop pseudonym) is a horrific tale of post-apocalyptic terror that is one part zombie story and one part Dante’s Inferno. The story asks hard questions and generates strong emotions in everyone who reads it—anger, excitement, and most of all: FEAR. This book asks the question that everyone is afraid to answer: Are you ready?

 

Small town reporter, Mia Durante, finds herself having brunch with the President of the United States on the day civilization comes to an end. An electromagnetic pulse blinds America. Cars crash. Planes fall. Chaos reigns. Power is restored within minutes, but it’s already too late. Russian nukes are falling. U.S. allies around the world are all ready wiped out. The United States will cease to exist inside of five minutes.

 

After giving the order to launch a full-scale retaliation, dooming the planet, the President, White House staff, Secret Service and those lucky enough to be visiting the White House, are whisked below ground, where they board several Earth Escape Pods. As the EEPs launch into Earth orbit, missiles descend.

 

Less than forty survive the end of the world. When they return, they’re greeted by survivors of a different sort. The bloodbath that follows leaves Durante and nine other survivors on the run. They find themselves fighting for survival in a world in which only torment remains and where death is the only escape.

 

Ratings and reviews

Twisted but good story. Good diversity of character and little bible reference to spice up the story. And an ending which is a typical 'horror ending'. If there's a problem, looks like this book need a sequel to explain what really happenned in this book's world.

Definitely loved reading this book. In a few months will definitely read it again. If there's not a movie of it, someone should make one.

Dante"s Inferno on steroids. Very thought provoking. "I wasn't ready!" After reading this novel you will assuredly ask if one should be indeed ready.
