What it is

With a relentless assassin tracking her every move, Sarah is forced to rely on an unlikely stranger to survive the treacherous crossing of a ruined American heartland. As a bitter winter forces her family into impossible choices back home, Nadia fights a blind bureaucracy from inside a failing government bunker to decode the next set of disasters that will begin in book 2 of EDGE OF DAWN.From the 4.5-million copy bestselling author comes a new post-apocalyptic thriller series - The Edge of Dawn.In the middle of a brutal winter storm, a coordinated wave of explosions rips through the nation's infrastructure, plunging cities into darkness and the country into chaos... but the worst is yet to come.Driving through rural West Virginia, Sarah Peters is wrongfully arrested just hours before the attacks begin. When the explosions tear the town apart, she escapes on foot, but her freedom comes at a price. An assassin from a past she's spent years burying is hunting her, and nearly two thousand miles of a dying country stand between her and the family waiting in Wyoming.In the high country, Jerry, his son-in-law Jack, and ten-year-old grandson Kyle wake to a world without power and a small town spiraling toward collapse. As rumors of destroyed cities and looted supplies tear at the community's fabric, the family will face dangers and destruction from outside their gates… and within.And deep inside a secure continuity-of-government site, intelligence analyst Nadia Voronova watches the unprecedented unfold in real time. As her superiors scramble to pin the blame on China or Russia, she is the only one who sees the truth: a coordinated, fanatical network is dismantling the country from the inside - and they've only just begun.
