Blue Fire — John Gilstrap

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.
