Scary!! My husband said - you HAVE to read this book!!
An apparent terrorist strike - chemical or biological in nature wipes out Miami, Tokyo and Tel Aviv. There are only 2 survivors in Miami - a Navy Seal who was in an underwater lab off the coast of the Keys when the attack took place and a child in an oxygen chamber in a burn unit.
As the world mobilizes to fight back it soon becomes clear a world-wide coup has taken place and the 4th Reich has risen. They have been hiding in plain sight for decades - the military and police departments, engineers at power plants and water treatment facilities, healthcare, clergy, communications....your next door neighbor.
I will leave out the how and why because if you like thrillers, this is the book for you!
I normally read a book in 5-7 days. I just finished this one in 2.
