Shattered P O'Brien

A threat is lurking in the isolated mountain town of Langford Falls... Under the harsh rule of martial law, in a country wracked by civil unrest and plagued by violent extremism following an economic collapse brought on by a series of cyber-attacks, Lee Richards, Ellen Apter and the diverse citizens of Langford Falls find themselves locked in a gritty struggle for survival against starvation, the elements and... each other. Set in a not-too-distant dystopian future in a rural American community where food is scarce, the people of Langford Falls and their neighbors across the river in East Langford struggle to adapt to an ever changing and more threatening world as the long, cold winter sets in. More troubling than the corruption among local officials and the drawing of lines among friends and neighbors during a hotly contested election is the ominous threat of a reckoning being promised by pseudo-religious extremists- led by a man calling himself Brother Bill- showing up in graffiti and pamphlets around town; A NEW DAY WILL DAWN. Gritty, fast-paced and unrelenting, Shattered: Death of an Empire will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more!
