Synopsis
DEMOCRACY'S LAST STAND
A global power outage...
An emerging dictatorship ...
A struggle for freedom against overwhelming odds ...
When a tyrant uses a global emergency to manipulate his way into the Presidency, he then abandons any pretense of maintaining democracy and uses an army of mercenaries to enforce ‘emergency national security measures’ as a cover to confiscate all resources for the benefit of those loyal to his regime. But his control is not complete, and he is obsessed with finding the one man who can derail his plans. Congressman Simon Tremble, former Speaker of the House and the legitimate presidential successor is on the run, a hunted fugitive. But Tremble has a few plans of his own. Across the country, isolated, outnumbered, and outgunned survivors steel themselves for democracy's last stand.
A haunting tale you won't put down. Or want to.

About the Author
Seaman, entrepreneur, former expatriate, and inveterate story-teller, R.E. (Bob) McDermott capped a long and varied career of international work and travel by turning to his secret passion, writing. Bob had the good fortune (and sometimes misfortune) of knowing more than a few interesting characters during his career, and bits and pieces of them populate his novels.
McDermott's work is characterized by meticulous research and a gritty, seldom-matched realism. He strives to make his protagonists fallible humans - not superheroes, just ordinary people who screw up, but rise to life's challenges in extraordinary situations.
Bob lives on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee with his patient wife (and chief proofreader) and splits his time between their condo on Old Hickory Lake and a rural retreat in the Tennessee woods with no phone, no email, and no internet. He likes that just fine and his wife is even more enthusiastic about it since they got a working toilet.
