Looking Back Through Ash

In a world darkened by volcanic ash, America watched in horror as a coordinated terrorist attack destroyed three of its nuclear generating stations. One of those plants was the Enrico Fermi power station which operated on the busy waterfront south of Detroit, Michigan. Told in three parts, this stand-alone novel follows several converging storylines that center on Daniel Moore and covers a decade of his tragic life. Trapped between worlds, Daniel and his young family are left to deal with the aftermath of his late father’s brutality and the corrupt leadership of the near-by boomtown. Used as a staging area to support the nuclear clean-up efforts taking place to the south, the Council members of the reorganized city of New Warren, who were being provided with fuel and supplies by the remnants of the Federal Government, controlled the immediate area with an iron fist. When the years of steady growth suddenly come to an end and the gravy train pulls out for a second time, a fate that many thought had been avoided reveals to the world that it had only been postponed. 125k+ words**
