A powerfully resonant and provocative novel from American master and New York Times bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates. In this striking, enormously affecting novel, Joyce Carol Oates tells the story of two very different and yet intimately linked American families.
Luther Dunphy is an ardent Evangelical who envisions himself as acting out God's will when he assassinates an abortion provider in his small Ohio town while Augustus Voorhees, the idealistic doctor who is killed, leaves behind a wife and children scarred and embittered by grief.
In her moving, insightful portrait, Joyce Carol Oates fully inhabits the perspectives of two interwoven families whose destinies are defined by their warring convictions and squarely-but with great empathy-confronts an intractable, abiding rift in American society.
A Book of American Martyrs is a stunning, timely depiction of an issue hotly debated on a national stage but which makes itself felt most lastingly in communities torn apart by violence and hatred. Views: 173
With thousands of copies sold and millions of pages read, *The Last War* is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that’s perfect for fans of *Jack Hunt, Ryan Westfield, Harley Tate *and *Bruno Miller. *
**The end of one world marks the beginning of another... **
With San Francisco literally crashing down all around her, and her family scattered about the city, Cincinnati McNamara will fight for a daughter who may already be dead, a husband with a death wish and a brother who’s fresh out of the military and shaped by a war he just left behind. Caught in the killing fields and forced to fight, this remarkable family will attempt the impossible: they’ll try to escape a world now backsliding into a nightmarish landscape more reminiscent of the stone ages than the once famed city by the bay.
*The Last War* is a clean, lightning-fast thriller about an ordinary family struggling to escape San Francisco in the face of insurmountable odds, an abysmal loss of life and the dawn of a new, post-apocalyptic dark age. Prepare yourself for a ride like no other. Are you ready?

**WHAT FANS OF THE LAST WAR ARE SAYING…**
“**This is the best so far.** And why is that? Well because it is a reliable alternative reality. The focus is not just survival but the description of human behavior, thoughts and ethical conundrums. Character development is very strong and the book addresses all the male/female issues being struggled with today. Ryan Schow is one of the first writers I have read that discusses suicide as an escape from an untenable situation. What would you rather be, a survivor or good person killed?”
*– Christopher La Londe, Amazon Reviewer* ★★★★★
“**Incredible. Loved it!** This book pulled me in from the beginning and kept me absolutely hooked to the very end. I could not put it down!! I felt like I was living through mayhem with this family, navigating seemingly impossible odds, feeling the despair of their situation at times and glimmers of hope along the way. As is the case in his other books, I love the way this author continually finds ways to weave humor into even the most dire of situations. I truly enjoyed the characters and their unforgettable journey through a city I know well, but came to envision in a whole new light. This really is a must read!”
*Coach, Amazon Reviewer* ★★★★★
“**Wow, what a story!** The author managed to weave a tale of action, depth of personality and realism around an apocalyptic event that grabs you by the throat and does not let go to the very last page. I was delighted to hear that it is the first of a series! Don’t miss jumping aboard and enjoying the thrill...”
