Book Synopsis

Survivors of an asteroid devastated world emerge to find their survival now depends on a dangerous “Food Czar”- a ruthless killer who spent the dark days stockpiling food and medicine. Colonel Jake Westbrook has been asked to hunt down the Czar, locate his secret warehouses, and return him to Denver for trial. Although he has no experience at capturing criminals, he is the only one the President can trust. Suddenly thrust into a secret mission, he finds himself teamed with an odd group of companions including the beautiful FEMA agent Rebecca St. John and a cowboy named Bubba - sworn to kill the Czar. When Rebecca is kidnapped by the Czar, Jake realizes he has strong feelings for her and the group is thrust into a maddening manhunt across a surreal landscape encountering murder, treachery, and betrayal. 

With rich characters and a brilliantly woven plot, Denver D.Ctakes readers inside the sick mind of those ruthless individuals who find such catastrophes an opportunity to exploit the suffering and anguish of others, and the heroic efforts of those who stand up against them. Readers can easily recognize the possibility of these events becoming reality and begs the mind to ask: “What if this really happens and what would I do?”
