Without Warning

fullDescription

On the eve of the US invasion of Baghdad, as the world waits for war, a miles-high wave of incredible power cordons a vast area from southern Canada to northern Mexico, wiping 99 percent of the US population from the face of the earth in the blink of an eye. In Seattle, at the very edge of the phenomenon, heroes must rise to meet the unimaginable challenges of food riots, mass panic, and terror. James Kipper, chief engineer of the city, and Caitlin Monroe are on the trail of a Muslim fanatic ready to take advantage of what has become known as the Disappearance. Meanwhile, General Tusk Musso and Admiral James Ritchie are trying desperately to keep the peace in a world gone mad with fear.

Gritty, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, Birmingham's audacious geopolitical thriller asks what would happen to the world if America suddenly disappeared.

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Narrator Tom Weiner impresses with a broad range of male and female characterizations that reach across several cultures--English, Spanish, Australian, and others. Overall, Weiner's delivery is strong, exacting, and accurate. This mystery presents listeners with an open-ended question that will give them the shivers: What would happen if the United States and its citizens were to disappear from the face of the Earth? Birmingham allows the listener to experience this scenario through the eyes of an American general, an American secret agent, and a Seattle city engineer. The story's settings include Guantanamo Bay, Seattle, and Paris. This is must listening--fast paced and edgy. J.D. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

     December 1, 2008
     Two powerful novels explore the plight of isolated survivors of global disaster.
     Without Warning
     John Birmingham
     . Del Rey
     , $26 (528p) ISBN 978-0-345-50289-6
     
     Australian author Birmingham (Axis of Time
     ) explores an unusual and intriguing scenario: immediately before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, an unknown radiation engulfs the North American continent from Canada to Mexico, destroying all animal and human life. Suddenly the U.S. is reduced to Alaska, Hawaii and part of Washington State, along with several million citizens overseas. Birmingham concentrates on several small groups of survivors—a Seattle city engineer struggling against an army takeover, a yacht carrying survivors to Australia, a spy hunting a Muslim fanatic in the midst of a French civil war—and contemplates how various countries would react to the power vacuum. This well-thought-out alternate history will appeal to fans of hard SF and techno-thrillers.
