The world waits in suspense as America struggles to survive following the attack on Washington, D.C., but who remains to run the government?

Sara Brighton and her sons, Luke and Ammon, head west in a doomed attempt to reach Salt Lake City. Sam returns to the States in anticipation of a U.

Customer Reviews

Fury & Light

Wow, what a page turner! Chris Stewart has written another thought provoking, action packed, well written novel that is eerily realistic. I have recommended this series to my book club members.

Christian Tom Clancy

I was just given all five of the books in Chris Stewart's "The Great & Terrible" series. Riveted doesn't quite describe my reaction! I devoured them all in a matter of weeks. Thought provoking, entertaining, and above average writing!

The Best One Yet!

Chris Stewart's ideas of how things could quickly come to an end are eerily true-to-life. He seems to get better and better with each new novel. We (my whole family) can't wait for the next one!

Amazingly intense and realisticly scarey

I loved this 4th book in the Great and Terrible Series! I couldn't put it down until I had finished it, and can't wait until the next book comes out. I have read all 4 books and each one gets better and better. The story is realisticly scarey. Not to be dooms-dayish, but I am ready to go out and make sure I have a good food and water storage supply (and maybe even buy a gun for self defense) for my family just in case something like this comes about someday. Intense and well worth the read - but start at the begiining of the series because each book is essential to the plot.

The series keeps getting better

My only complaint is that it was too short. I guess that is a pretty good sign that I enjoyed the book. Stewart ties up several threads of the story, yet leaves enough room for a 5th in the series. The characters progress, new ones are introduced, and the action increases. The end foreshadowed that the "bad guys" would soon get their due. If you like the concept of the first books, you'll enjoy this one. It has the military end-of-the-world excitement of a Clancy but unabashedly interweaves core LDS theology. I highly recommend.
