Blue Fire

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author John Gilstrap, a new Victoria Emerson Thriller. With America brought to the brink of destruction, one woman becomes the last hope of a nation and its people.   One-time congressional representative Victoria Emerson has become the leader of a small town in West Virginia, where it’s a struggle just to provide food and shelter. Progress is encouraging—until one morning her son sounds the alarm “Blue Fire!”—the code phrase for imminent danger.   A renegade band of National Guardsmen wants to take over the town and steal its resources. They’ve got the firepower to eliminate anyone who puts up a fight. But Victoria swore an oath to defend her people. It’s time to tap into the traditional American values of courage, ingenuity, and patriotism—and fight fire with fire.   Praise for the Victoria Emerson Thriller Series“A nonstop roller coaster of suspense!
