What if the Cuban Missile Crisis had become a full-blown atomic war? So begins Resurrection Day, an enthralling novel of tantalising speculative, but plausible, history.

It’s Boston 1972, ten years since the bombs fell on American and Russia. American is a shell, ruled by martial law and dependent on Britain. A young reporter arrives at the scene of the murder of a veteran of the ’62 war. This is no burglary gone wrong. What secrets has this man taken to his grave? What is legend and what is lie? Who was betrayed and who was the betrayer?

A mighty nation in ruins, a band of underground freedom fighters, and what exactly lies behind Britain’s kindness? Characters that become so real, so deep, you really believe in them. A complex, taut plot, and the thread through it all of hope, of faith in the human spirit, and the strength of mankind to survive, to be free. So cleverly written, that within a few pages you believe this is what really happened. At some points, maybe, you’ll even wish this is what happened.
