Phoenix
Phoenix is the story of one woman's survival of a nuclear nightmare. On Monday morning Lynette Frichette went to work at the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph. By noon, life as she knew it had ended forever and much of the United States of America was in ruin. Cities are ablaze from the after-effects of twenty nuclear bombs. Lynette recovers from her physical injuries, but her psychological wounds are deep as she searches for her missing husband and daughter. This new world without law and order is savage and merciless. In the desert near Tucson, Arizonia, Phoenix is the spark of hope for a new world, yet it houses a sinister secret deep in the bowels of its underground facility.

Chilling, sobering, and all too real. Those words came to mind while I read Kelly Marshall's PHOENIX.
On a sunny June day in Colorado Springs, the lives of Lynette Frichette and her family, along with all other Americans, are changed by the actions of one man in the Middle East -- a madman who unleashes a nuclear attack on the United States. Marshall's book tells the story of the aftermath of that assault through the eyes of Lynette. Lack of food and water, the threat of marauding gangs, no transportation or communication, radiation sickness -- all these issues and more are addressed in this riveting tale of human survival. Marshall's take on this scary situation is original, believable, and often gritty. However, without giving away the ending, I will say that although the story is grim, there is a glimmer of hope for mankind.
I definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy a riveting story.
