Description
THE SECOND COMING IS ON ITS WAY... AND IT'S PACKING HEAT.
In the gripping, pulse-pounding SECOND book of the Jackson Guild series, Guild is aboard a chopper descending over Washington, D.C., and he does not like what he sees: the charred rubble of nuclear holocaust.
Terrorists have detonated a Hiroshima-sized bomb over the nation's capital. Now, Guild's hometown is a radioactive wasteland, where the city's survivors are called bonies, and blood is currency.
In another life, Guild was an investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Now living in the menacing fallout of the Detonation, the main thing Guild has been investigating is the bottom of his whiskey bottle. But when the powerful General Purcell Warden calls Guild in for a classified meeting, he can feel his skin getting yanked back into the game.
General Warden reveals that the bomb that hit the District was actually smaller than the one Guild had been tracking -- which means the bigger bomb is still out there, ready to detonate at any moment.
It also turns out the Army knows more about Guild's checkered past than he thought. Before the explosion, Guild interviewed Manny Granov, "the War Lord of Wall Street," discovering that Granov had financed the first bomb, and Warden believes Granov has his finger on the button of the second one too.
Now for the ultimate bombshell: The Air Force's master plan is to apply the Cold War tactic of Mutually Assured Destruction. But this time, the "M" in MAD stands for Mecca -- assuring the destruction of the center of the Muslim world.
Political thriller junkies who enjoy Tom Clancy novels, Stephen King's The Stand, and films like Mad Max and City of Ember will be enthralled by this suspenseful story of espionage in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
