E-BOMB Summary
SUMMARY
What do we consider the glue that holds the fabric of our society together? That keeps the whole juggernaut from careening out of control into hopeless anarchy and the total breakdown of society.
This takes place four months after a tsunami wipes out the East Coast of the United States (Touched By Fire - Book 1).
The Chinese hire Syrian operatives to detonate an electromagnetic pulse bomb over Chicago, in a bid to destroy what's left of the US economy. The New York Stock Exchange has moved to the Chicago Mercantile until New York City is rebuilt.
Major Montana Sinclair and her boyfriend, Jim Morton, a freelance agent for the CIA attend a Homeland security meeting announcing the 'persons of interest' for the day. Shortly thereafter, they both board a plane for Chicago, to inspect a building that Jim's public foundation has just purchased as a new corporate headquarters.
They change planes in Pittsburg, PA, where Montana spots the suspects. They disembarking the plane in Chicago and follow the suspects to Lake Michigan where the operatives set off the e-bomb, effectively throwing the city back into the dark ages. Cars with onboard computers, TV, radio, watches, cell phones, power or communication lines and anything electronic is permanently toasted.
Montana and Jim eavesdrop on the suspects, causing Jim to be captured. With an unconscious Jim in tow, the suspects speed away in an old car that doesn't have electronics.
The rest of the book is Montana's two-day journey, fighting her way through the streets of Chicago amidst a total breakdown of social order, to save the man that she loves.
