Last Call - America
In a devastated America, life has become brutal for the citizens who are living under Martial law. The government has been dismantled and is now being run by the Homeland Security Department. The entire "United States military is also under Homeland Security’s control.
American Citizens are being herded into the major cities, striped of their rights and forced to work in factories.
An unlikely pair will forge an uneasy bond, first out of necessity then out of a drive to win back all that has been lost.
That cold New England morning Captain Jason Poole only wanted a hot cup of coffee while Rebecca Sanders just wanted the armed officer to leave the diner her and her sister ran. Rebecca wouldn’t get Poole out of her diner or out of her life and the Captain had won himself more than a cup of coffee that day.
Together they would struggle to lead a nation into revolution before the last call sounded and darkness fell.
Reviews:
Richard Eber, Columnist: "Last call America is a page turner. Although parts of it are disturbing, (I had bad dreams one night) the pay-off is a thought provoking book which is well worth spending the time to read."
Daniel Casey, Misanthropester: "Tash has written a very astute historical document, which should come to no surprise given her love of history but her skill in relating it...She is able to write what many would consider a staunchly patriotic novel filled with action and the highest stakes patriotism can imagine."
Midwest Review: "A riveting dystopian novel of the first order, "Last Call - America" by novelist Debra Tash showcases the author's natural talent for deftly crafting memorable characters and impressive skills at narrative storytelling. While very highly recommended, especially for community library Contemporary General Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "Last Call - America" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $3.99)."
Phil Erwin: "Last Call – America is a bit of history, a bit of science, and a lot of heart wrapped into a fast-paced account of a fictional American future that may very well be much closer than we might want to believe."
Challenge the Wind
Matthew Smith seizes Sarah Lloyd and her family as prisoners on a clear autumn day. Leading a party of British deserters, he now holds the family hostage north of Saratoga, New York.
The Americans have just won a decisive battle, the turning point in their revolution, but Matthew’s turning point is yet to come.
On another battlefield in Pennsylvania, the Lloyd’s oldest son struggles to find meaning in this war, while his twin sister remains trapped inside the British-occupied, rebel-capital of Philadelphia.
The fate of each one of these people will be forged together that brutal winter of 1777.
