Synopsis

When an entire civilization loses the planet that feeds it, desperation becomes policy. Day of Wrath follows a highly advanced society forced to search the stars for a new world, only to discover that intelligence and progress do not guarantee wisdom. What begins as a mission of survival soon becomes a reckoning with violence, hypocrisy, and the dangerous comfort of moral certainty.This story unfolds with calm authority and chilling restraint, allowing its ideas to land with devastating clarity. It examines how easily compassion is replaced by judgment, how civilization defines itself against perceived barbarism, and how power disguises itself as necessity. The tension does not come from action alone, but from the terrible calm with which decisions are made and carried out.Day of Wrath is a classic example of mid-century science fiction at its most unsettling. It challenges listeners to question whether technological superiority confers moral authority, and whether survival can ever justify erasing an entire people. The story lingers long after it ends, not because of spectacle, but because of the questions it refuses to answer for you.

Goodreads review by Gary on September 03, 2014

Whether you're a liberal or a conservative; whether you're religious or not, this book is a must read for the simple fact that our world is limited only by our imagination.

Goodreads review by Rodney on September 01, 2014

This is probably one of the more frightening books I have read. It is so realistic and it could happen. It is about a very low tech, coordinated terrorist attacks across the country by several small teams of ISIS terrorists. I hope and pray this book does not become prophetic.......more

Goodreads review by Bon Tom on May 14, 2021

Very uncomfortable reminder of what could be. And not in a sense "a meteor could be on its collision way to Earth". It is more a kind of dystopia that's very real because something close to this already happened, and is happening in other parts of the world. It's very realistic apocalypse scenario.......more

Goodreads review by Nicki on February 13, 2017

This is one of the most harrowing and disturbing books I have ever read. It is also one of the best books I have ever read. I think every single person in America should read it! It is a scenario that could happen here. I think the scariest books are not horror books about supernatural vampires, etc......more

Goodreads review by Little on June 11, 2021

This book scared and disturbed me. It is very well written and very much a true to life could happen story. While I didn't like the story plot at all I couldn't stop reading. Very recommended if you want to see how this could happen......more
