Publisher's summary

Nuclear war may kill millions.

Nuclear Winter will kill billions.

International best-selling author Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

Every war begins with a first shot. The shot heard ‘round the world at Lexington and Concord in 1775 birthed a nation. Less than a century later, cannons firing on Fort Sumter, South Carolina, thrust that same nation into a civil war. The assassination of an obscure archduke sparked a chain of events leading to World War I. The dastardly bombing of Pearl Harbor led America into the Second World War.

Akart's new novel, Nuclear Winter First Strike, depicts a world on the edge of nuclear Armageddon. Will history repeat itself as warring nations take their battles to the highest level of destruction? Can America avoid being drawn into these conflicts beyond her borders?

Nuclear Armageddon hangs over us like a mighty sword and ordinary Americans will be caught in the crosshairs.

This is more than the story of nuclear conflict. It’s about the devastating effects wrought by nuclear winter. Our possible future is seen through the eyes of the Albright family, whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of the Florida Keys. Hank Albright, a widower and proprietor of the Driftwood Key Inn, is the epitome of the laid-back islander inhabiting the Keys. His brother, Mike, is a homicide detective for the Monroe County Sheriff’s department. Along with his wife, Jessica, a paramedic and member of the sheriff’s department's water emergency team, they become involved in the investigation of a sadistic serial killer.

Hank’s son, Peter Albright, is a reporter in Washington, DC, covering the Department of State. He’s unknowingly thrust into the middle of the conflict in the Middle East. Upon his return home, he begins to unravel a conspiracy leading to an unexpected dynamic between the president, the secretary of state, and North Korea. As the drumbeats of war beat louder, Hank’s oldest child, Lacey McDowell, begins to sense the warning signs. Along with her husband, Owen, and teenage son, Tucker, she begins to prepare for a hasty exit from their home in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Will America become embroiled in the nuclear conflict? Will the president cross the Rubicon, that point of no return, after which lives and cities may be destroyed? For the Albrights, like their fellow Americans, their lives are about to change forever.

It was not our fight, but it became our problem.

Bobby Akart has delivered intense, up-all-night thrillers that have you whispering just one more chapter until the end.

Apocalypse Near you

Great audible book. Now I own every post apocalyptic book narrated by Kevin Pierce. Bobby Akart is a superb writer hitting all aspects of the being prepared community. Makes me aware of my own short comings. Well worth the listen. Cannot wait until books two and beyond.

Awesome and scary

Bobby Akart hits another home run. Not only is this book a great read but it is edge of your seat entertainment. It is also scary it that it is so possible for this to happen. Humans care little for other humans

Exciting, entertaining

How to protect your family and yourself in the event of a nuclear war. Admirable characters, interesting story. Good to be reminded of this possibility as the danger seems to have faded from our collective awareness. Looking forward to book 2 in the series.

First read March 2021
Second read August 2021 - still very informative
Third read April 2023 - still entertaining and informative

nuclear

Even though it is scifi, it seems very timely as with current tensions, it some ways this doesnt seem far fetched. Very well written and wonderfully narrated.

Everyone Should Read!

This is my 3rd go around with this particular series. I bought each book as they were released. The scenarios are so well constructed and researched that they are both entertaining and frightening. This more true than ever considering the current events occurring with Israel and the devastating and inhumane treatment of the citizens of the Jewish community. You must read this!

Enjoyed the first book

Author is detail oriented, setting up for an involved series. Hoping the next book is just as interesting.

Good

Beginning of a five-book series. Setting and characters. I enjoyed it and, of course, Kevin Pierce was awesome. Disappointed that each of these five books are about six hours long but each costs an Audible credit which seemed expensive to me. I assume there will be a box set someday. Anyway, it was very good.
