Push Back
A GUT-WRENCHING JOURNEY TOWARD AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
A world without power...
A society in collapse ...
A handful of survivors facing impossible odds against the corrupt remains of their own government.
In the months following a global blackout, gangs fill the power vacuum left by a disintegrating government, and survivors flee the violence-ravaged cities. But sheer numbers outstrip the available resources and refugees find only hunger and squalor in government run camps. Unrest rises, and an overwhelmed government prioritizes maintaining order. Food and clean water are in short supply, but not bullets. As the government evolves into a police state, the people rise.
A pulse-pounding tale with the outcome ever in doubt. You won't be able to put PUSH BACK down.
R. E. McDermott
A former merchant seaman, ex-entrepreneur, a sometime expatriate, and always an inveterate story-teller, R.E. (Bob) McDermott capped a long and varied career of international work and travel by turning to his secret passion, writing. Bob had the good fortune (and sometimes misfortune) of knowing more than a few 'interesting characters' and bits and pieces of them flesh out the characters 0f his novels.
McDermott's work is characterized by meticulous research and a gritty, seldom-matched realism. He strives to make his protagonists fallible humans – not superheroes, just ordinary people who screw up, but rise to life’s challenges in extraordinary situations.
Bob lives on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee with his patient wife (and chief proofreader) and splits his time between their condo on Old Hickory Lake and a rural retreat in the Tennessee woods with no phone, no email, and no internet. He likes that just fine and his wife is even more enthusiastic about it since they got a working toilet.
