In this episode 212, we visit with New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap, author of Crimson Phoenix, a fast-paced thriller of human survival during WWIII and a nuclear apocalypse.

Victoria Emerson, a single mother and member of the US House of Representatives, refuses to abandon her sons and move into the military safety bunker with other members of congress. With millions of Americans without food, power, or government aid, Victoria becomes the leader they need.

New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Deaver has this to say about the book, “Crimson Phoenix ticks every box for big-book thrillerdom. We’re treated to political turmoil, military action, harrowing escape, relentless pursuit, and heart-wrenching scenes of family struggling against conflict, which Gilstrap pens like no other author. And to top it all off, he’s created one of the most singular and compelling heroines to come along in years.”
