Call-in-to-work good, worth every action-packed moment.
Quinn Hamilton was happy, once. An ambitious reporter married to a successful FBI man, Quinn seemed unstoppable until her husband’s untimely death. Years later, when everything lines up and Quinn gets the chance to exact revenge on the man she holds responsible, she is up for the task, even if it looks like she’s compromising her principles. Taking the job as press secretary for polarizing President Ambrose Gentry tests her resolve to be truthful, but Quinn needs to get close to the man if she wants to expose his misdeeds and clear her husband’s reputation. She despises Gentry and his bombastic snap judgments on everyone who opposes him, but this thirty-something midwestern girl is tougher than she looks. What Quinn didn’t account for, what the world couldn’t have accounted for, is the outbreak of a virulent disease that ravages its victims and leaves few survivors. And the timing couldn’t be worse. Most of the country agrees that President Gentry lost his reelection bid, yet he refuses to concede defeat. Once Quinn is out of the White House, she’ll never be able to touch Gentry, but could she stoop so low as to help him claim a fraudulent victory? If the election disaster weren’t enough, Quinn still has to survive what’s shaping up to be a zombified apocalypse and a hostile family of in-laws. And her perilous adventure has only just begun.
From election defeat and an Oval Office assault to a White House interloper and a fading chance for redemption, 77 DAYS is a lightning storm of electric activity. And that all happens on day one! Self-serving egotists, a scripture-peddling politician, voter-targeted truck bombs, tsunamis, torrential rains, wildfires, and armed clowns who have commandeered an amusement park fuel this bone-chilling, mimetic novel. As a crucial counterpoint, the author includes morally rich protagonists, a lovable canine companion, opportunities for redemption, and a mighty equine hero to keep negativity from overwhelming the complex plot. The narrative is anchored by keen insights into bureaucracy, medicine, military posturing, and nuclear arsenals, which are convincing enough to earn readers’ trust and allow the author to take them on this relentless journey. This thought-provoking literary adventure is like the grand finale in a fireworks display, but here, the explosive spectacle starts on page one and goes the distance without pausing to take a breath. A thriller of epic proportions, 77 DAYS is call-in-to-work good, worth every action-packed moment!
