Defending Sea Breezes: When the Collapse comes, what if your family doesn't have a bunker in the woods to escape to?


Douglas Thornblom - 2015
    There is no unexplained virus that turns people into zombies. There is no band of preppers that have a stocked hideout to bug out to. Unlike most novels of this genre, the author provides a very credible, actually very likely, background as to how the collapse of America occurs, and then how a normal middle class community responds to the breakdown of society. In the near future, worldwide political and military strife increases, and Israel is forced to try to take out Iran's nuclear facilities weeks before they complete a nuclear weapon. Iran and Islamic terrorists accelerate their long-planned strike against the "Great Satan" in revenge. An average American middle class community is faced with a sudden and complete breakdown of the U.S. economy, government, and society after a massive, nation-wide Islamic terrorist attack combined with a devastating cyber attack on American infrastructure. Like the vast majority of Americans, none of the residents of Sea Breezes have a convenient bunker in the woods or a compound of survivalist friends to escape to. They have to find some way to organize themselves in order to survive with what they have on hand, and what they can obtain by using their own wits and determination. Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Richard Cantrell and his brother-in-law, former Marine Gunnery Sergeant Josh Koenig, residents of the Florida community, volunteer to help, and what follows is the riveting and often heart-breaking account of a community coming to grips with the unthinkable. "Defending Sea Breezes” is a complex story that weaves together international Islamic terrorism, government foreign policy failures, and the indomitable American spirit, to portray one of the most realistic and compelling “what if” stories of survival, all in one complete, stand-alone novel. Unlike similar novels, this story gives a realistic, even probable, military and political background for the Collapse. Advisories: If you believe that America's foreign policy over the last 7 years has been on the right course you will not enjoy this book. Because this novel contains contemporary dialogue, it contains some profanity. Special note from the author: I have been working on this novel for many months, and as I was preparing to publish it, the horrific events of the ISIS massacre in Paris occurred. Unfortunately, those attacks fit exactly into the story line of my novel, and the event was easily incorporated; in fact, I only modified one sentence to do so. It is disturbing, but all too predictable in today's world, when terrorism fiction becomes fact.

Limitless Torment (Southern Chaotic's MC Book 4)


Dana Arden - 2017
    I’ve had my eyes set on Sadie since I realized a boner wasn’t a medical condition, but one hell of a good time. She was it for me. After nine years of chasing and three years of being her buddy behind closed doors, she gave me the proverbial boot. I suppose I shouldn’t have taken life with a grain of salt and realized we’d have nothing more than a good time in the bedroom and a few laughs with friends. She was it for me…or so I thought. Razz Thinking I’d have the life I always dreamed of by the time I turned twenty-five and having the exact opposite could discourage a weaker woman, but not me. I don’t have the dream job, the house with the picket fence or the kids to fill the backyard with laughs, but I do have two steady incomes, an apartment I share with my best friend and a healthy sex life. What more could I ask for? I wanted him. After watching the boy I grew up with gradually turn into a man, my crush knew no bounds. He never really saw me. I was just the girl who he picked on and took up for when anyone but him picked on me. I was the girl on the sidelines watching him fall madly in love with a woman who never returned the gesture. Now she’s devastated his life and made him second guess himself. Now I’m the one he wants to fall back on but I’ve been there done that and got the scars on my heart to prove it. He was blind but now he sees, but that’s not enough for me to let him heal the wounds that he’s inflicted. This is a standalone book, but to better understand some of the situations you should read Minor Glitches and Major Conflict. This book is meant for an audience 18 and older.
