Synopsis

In the near-future, the world order has deteriorated after America's exhaustion from endless foreign wars causes her to pull back within her borders. Her enemies and allies alike pursue their own interests, grabbing resources, erecting trade barriers, and launching opportunistic wars. The American Century is a distant memory.Sheriff Rick Johnson thinks he's left behind the problems of the greater world, retiring from the Marines to become the sheriff of the little town of Resurrection, Colorado. His relationship with Dahlia, his childhood friend's widow, has given him new purpose, along with the responsibility of being a father-figure to her young son. Life isn't perfect, but it's better than he ever expected it would be after seeing the horrors of war. But when helicopters and armored vehicles filled with soldiers in hazmat suits unexpectedly quarantine the town, Sheriff Rick Johnson feels like the nightmares of the outside world have followed him home.While the town follows martial law, Rick isn't buying the official version of events from the military that a virus has been released into the air. As he investigates, the cover story unravels and he discovers the military's presence and the salvation they offer isn't what it seems. Soon he and his ex-flame, scientist Cassie Baker, are entangled in a plot so evil that it could only be bourn from the absolute extremes of nationalism and madness.There are men in Resurrection who are willing to do anything to see America restored to her former greatness, even if the rest of the world must be destroyed to make it happen. But Rick Johnson is a man willing to do anything to protect the people he loves. And he's a force to be reckoned with.

Jeff Gunhus knows how to tell a story!This was a great read! I was very intrigued by the promise of this book and was keen to get started, but I was in the middle of a couple of other reads.

I put off reading this book for months being fairly certain that I wasn't going to like it. Sheesh,what a maroon! I loved this story. The characters were likeable, and the crazies were flipping looney. There were some incredibly tense moments, and that ending.....I am curious if this will be a conti......more

A near future story of a small town in America's heartland, striving for normalcy in a world that has been torn by war and terrorism. Refreshingly not post apocalyptic, or big government plots.

My first book by this author and I wouldn't say I disliked it. I am just not sure if his future is good or bad. The book is set ten years in the future. It starts really explosively but then slows down. I am also not quite sure how to characterise it. It could be a thriller but it could also be scie......more

Goodreads review by Sherry on June 15, 2017

We have been invaded. Be afraid…be very afraid. At first, I was a bit confused, because I didn’t read the blurb, just saw Jeff Gunhus and knew I wanted to read it. This is horror of the human kind. Resurrection America by Jeff Gunhus begins when Rick goes to the mine to check on Manny, who was unrespo......more
