DAY OF WRATH
Book ID/图书代码: 13005515B79468
English Summary/英文概要: Bob Petersen arrives with his daughter at the Middle Grade school in Maine where he teaches, expecting another regular day but worried about what recent ominous news reports might portend. Suddenly his school -- along with many others across the United States -- is under attack. Gunmen burst in, slaughtering children and adults alike. This novella by New York Times bestselling author William R. Forstchen imagines a horrifying scenario where, in the course of one day, the terrorist group ISIS carries out massacres in schools and on highways across the United States. With a surprisingly small but well-organized and ruthless force, the nightmarish devastation brings America to a state of near-paralysis. Author of One Second After and Pillar to the Sky, this heart-stopping novella brings home just how fragile our defenses and infrastructure really are. It is also a story of heroic efforts to save lives, while sounding a wake-up call to American citizens and their government. From the ISIS leader in Syria, to the murderous rampages throughout the U.S., Day of Wrath reveals with chilling effect how national panic and paralyzing terror at the spiraling violence can bring a mighty country to a near-standstill. Petersen’s fight to save lives and stop the merciless gunmen provides edge-of-the-seat drama. Day of Wrath is a provocative work that should stimulate an intense national debate. One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as the book everyone should read. "A THRILLING - AND TERRIFYING - TALE OF WHAT COULD BE OUR NEXT 9/11!" - W.E.B. Griffin & William E.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Bob Petersen与女儿来到他教书的那所中学,期待一天常规生活的开始,然而却又担心近期报道的那些不祥之兆。突然,他的学校——连同全美其他许多学校——遭到了袭击。持枪者冲了进来,大开杀戒……《纽约时报》畅销作家 William R. Forstchen的这部小说构想了一个骇人的场景:一天,恐怖主义集团ISIS在全美的学校和高速公路上展开大屠杀。噩梦般的大破坏令美国陷入了近乎瘫痪的境地。作为《一秒之后》和《通往天空的柱子》的作者,Forstchen这部惊心动魄的小说揭示了我们的抵御能力和基础设施是多么的不堪一击,小说同时带有英雄色彩,体现出拯救生命的努力,而又似乎是给美国公民和政府敲响了警钟。从叙利亚的ISIS领袖,到席卷美国的暴乱,《神谴之日》揭露了面对暴力时的全民恐慌和麻木会将一个强大的国家推向瘫痪。本书是一部发人深省的作品,定会在全国范围内引起热议。(LYR)

I was watching something on YouTube and this book was mentioned. So I decided to get it. I don’t know if anything like this could, or would ever happen, but I hope it never does. It’s too terrifying to contemplate.
