Journey to the Catskills

The Battle for Control

Beschreibung

In Mexico City a biologically engineered strain of the Ebola virus has been released by terrorists and quickly begins to spread, claiming innocent lives worldwide. As the United States attempts to deal with the consequences, a second attack is launched. Nuclear bombs are launched, exploding in Baghdad, Moscow, and Washington, DC. The death toll rises exponentially. National infrastructures fail, and governments collapse. In the ensuing chaos, those who survive are forced to live their lives in a world without rules. When information about the location of a cure of the virus is released by the CDC, a mass migration of millions of fearful and infected survivors begins. A small group of survivors led by a unit of the Massachusetts Army National Guard are the fi rst to arrive at the research facility, where they immediately find themselves charged with distributing the cure. But those driven by good intentions are not the only ones who come in search of the cure; a confrontation seems imminent. Only time will tell what kind of world the survivors of the disaster will manage to create together.

Autor

Dan Pinckney is a retired military NCO with a combined service of 20 years of active service and another ten years as a military contractor working with inner-city youth in different schools. While on active duty, he attended college taking classes at different colleges in different states, until he was able to graduate with honors from Stonehill College in Easton, MA. After retiring, he obtained a teaching certificate in history, then applied and was selected to perform as a Junior ROTC instructor and assigned to a city high school. While there, he used his skill and experience to encourage students to remain in school and even become interested in subjects like history and English, encouraging all his students to achieve what they thought was impossible, staying in school and graduating. Many, in fact, became interested in English and several are now teachers in different states. However, it was while he was involved with the Air Force that he fell in love with stories and putting those ideas on paper. To date, he has had one self-published novel, Journey to the Catskills which is receiving more interest from publishing houses for possible remarketing, and is currently in negotiations to create a website to advertise his current and future works. Dan Pinckney lives with his wife and kids in Rhode Island.
