Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
The Big Apple Posse Trilogy
All three books in one, of “a trilogy of action adventure novels that follow a group of tweens and their expanding band of travelers as they are first trapped in New York City after a terror attack and then are forced to flee from the terrorists who are determined that the "Posse" not live to "tell their tale." The "Trilogy" follows the posse in their journey from hapless victims to witnesses in the terror trial of the century. The Trilogy is ‘only a children's story’ if Lord of the Flies is only for children.”
2020
“a gripping tale of corruption, manipulation, revenge, and murder that unmasks the collusion between marketing hype and the dangers of fast food. What you eat can kill you.”
IranDate - When Iran Went Nuclear And The World Went Ballistic
A Middle East nuclear thriller written from the Israeli perspective. From the blurb, look-inside, and reviews, this seems to be very well written.
FALLOUT (Book one in the Nick Sullivan series)
Radiation terrorism
Voices In The Silence (A David Morton Novel)
“Intelligence agent David Morton must avert a world crisis and destroy a Russian-made weapon capable of controlling the U.S. President's mind. “ See longer synopsis at link. “The author is a global expert on the world of secret intelligence”

Velocity^2
“"Crazy Ken" has developed a free energy device that harnesses the Earth's gravitational force. Only one problem--It's also a bomb. …Through a series of terrorist attacks, brownouts and blackouts, President Anderson forces the government into socializing the electric production industry. But what the people don't know is that the electric plants are being replaced by Ken's free energy device…someone has stolen a device and is threatening to destroy the world… Ken soon realizes that size does not matter as much as location. With the clock ticking and with thousands of square miles to search, Ken has to find the hypothetical needle in a haystack--or in this case, a ping-pong sized bomb in a national park larger than some states.”

AFTER
“Everything will change after it happens. We all sense it. It's our survival instinct. Instinctively we know that calamity is approaching….We're fascinated by the idea. We watch movies and read books about it. Some of us dedicate years of our lives preparing for it. Disturbingly, some of us even yearn for disaster to unfold. Our Governments have contingency plans. Pandemics. Nuclear Holocaust. Asteroid Impact. Supernova. Solar Flare. Magnetic Field Reversal. Nano-plague. Bio-terrorism. They have a lot of plans. We've given this a lot of thought. We want to survive.
“But we're going to be blind-sided. We'll be completely unprepared. We are so busy guarding against the known threats that the unknown one will slip right through our defenses. Right under our radar. We'll never see it coming. It's inevitable. But it's not the end. Not by a long shot. Our survival instinct will make us adapt. Whatever situation we find ourselves in, as an individual or as a race, we will rise to counter it. This is our greatest strength, and will be the source of our greatest stories. Here are eight of those stories. Eight stories centered around the world-changing events we never predicted. The events we never saw coming. Eight different scenarios, some impacting a single person, some impacting every person on the face of the planet. These are the stories of what people will do AFTER.”
”these stories have appeared in professional print publications, been nominated for national literary awards, been purchased for feature film adaptation, and appeared in national newspaper circulations. “
At the End - a post-apocalyptic novel (The Road to Extinction, Book 1)
“In 2048, the human population borders 39 billion after the termination of the birth control industry, and the realities of overcrowding have sunken into the minds of the world, until billions mysteriously go missing. In the wake of civilization's collapse, a trio of teenage gamers from Washington struggle to endure. Maggy, a strong-willed intellectual, leads Darrel and Félix, two shy geeks, on an expedition down the west coast, as they try to determine the source of humanity's downfall. A YA post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller.“
Eleventh Hour (Revelation Series)
“a controversial religious and political thriller that explores how powerful leaders can manipulate the beliefs of millions of people and what happens to the few brave enough to maintain their integrity. “ Explores “scriptural prophecy through the lense of today's events.”
BLOODROSE
“America in the not-too-distant future. … The events could happen. Pray they don’t! …the American economy has collapsed. Law enforcement lacks the resources to control crime. Violent ethnic gangs are out of control. … Juanita meets Tyler as he is on his way to seek refuge with some distant relatives on a remote Texas farm. … Tyler leaves the farm and joins a militia movement to help restore American sovereignty. ..Juanita is kidnapped by white supremacists …” See link for more details.
Playing God
Shifts in the ocean’s currents due to the melting polar caps have led to the collapse of a large section of the western continental shelf triggering a massive tsunami that hits China, killing millions and leaving the country in ruin. In its wake a pathogen emerges that threatens the entire world. ... "
Burning Issues
“Friends Will and Lily haven’t seen their fathers for five years: they men disappeared during The Crisis, as the world economy crumbled and vital resources dried up...But neither has Hannah, the pushy newcomer who upsets the quiet life of Will and Lily’s self-sufficient rural Village with her long-forgotten technology (a cellphone?) and infuriating London ways... Drawn ever more deeply into a web of intrigue, the friends’ search takes them from London to France and back to The Village, on the trail of the Minister and his criminal colleagues.”
Sunburner (The Sunburst Trilogy)
“Thirty years before the Redburn Plague kills billions worldwide, Emma and her brother Booth find themselves the only survivors of a cataclysmic explosion that kills not only their family but every living thing in their town. Separated after the explosion, Emma tracks Booth to an abandoned hospital where a supposed cult known as the Sunburners, have taken him in.” Prequel to "Red Sky Burning (The Sunburst Trilogy)
," see farther down the page.
Land Grab
“WELCOME TO ARMAGEDDON! When all of the world’s land sinks, due to a catastrophic earthquake in the year 2020, the one and only remaining island is more valuable than gold to those left floating on the ocean, aboard thousands of surviving ships in this post-apocalyptic tale of adventure. One hundred years after the great sinking, parcels of the island are up for grabs and it will be a life or death struggle to obtain it. Read about the efforts of two young teams to win land, as a thousand teams fight to the death to do the same, before their century old vessels sink. To own land and move ashore is a matter of long-term survival for the small number of humans remaining on Earth. Land Grab is the first of two parts.”
