Description:
The Doomsday Clock gauges the threat of nuclear war. Currently, the clock is set at six minutes before midnight.
What happens after the hands reach midnight?
Survivalist Leeland Dawcett finds out when he and his family are plunged into the nightmare of their country returned to a third-world state.
No phones. No computers. No television.
At first, Leeland thinks basic survival is the answer.
Until he crosses the path of the wrong guy…
Someone who wants to do more than just survive…

I really like this storys’ concept, it’s definitely a unique take on the post-apocalyptic story genre. I like it.
Hi Stephanie. Here’s hoping you sample the book and like it.
Best of luck in the contest.
Definitely one I’ll sample.
Hi Karen,
Glad the blurb piqued your interest. Hope you enjoy the sample.
Best of luck.
sounds intriguing!
Hi Mary,
Thanks for your interest. Wishing you luck in the contest.
Just bought this book can not wait to read it
Sounds like a wonderful read on my Kindle! Will have to look you up!
Just finished the book and thoroughly enjoyed every page!
Sequel? I’m sure there are other megalomaniac cretins out there who need to be dealt with. The long view says that there are other people (survivors) out there who will eventually seek a greater society.
Either way, a very good read!
Thanks for the kind coments, Dave. There is currently a “companion piece” in the works. It is a novella, and tells the story of one of the minor characters and what happened to him on D-Day. After that, I have a completely unrelated novel to do.
THEN I hope to return to the world of HPM for a true sequel.
Look for something that takes place a decade or more further down the road from the happenings of HPM.
Thanks again.
