Description
Unrelenting showers of meteor fragments hit Northern California—massive fires—power grid failure—millions at risk
Hundreds of white-hot meteor fragments plunge toward Earth near Monterey Bay, California. Huge fires ignite the tinder-dry landscape and, as the sun sets, the power grid collapses and the fires grow, illuminating a nightmare created in hell itself. Donovan Nash realizes he is trapped.
Injured and growing desperate, his options dwindling, Donovan fights to keep himself and a small band of survivors alive until dawn, when they can make one last attempt to escape the inferno.
Meanwhile, Donovan's wife, Dr. Lauren McKenna, working with the Pentagon as well as the Forest Service, envisions a bold approach to stop the fire from spreading all the way to the Bay Area and the seven million residents living there. She's terrified that, if not executed perfectly, her plan could cause the death of thousands of people—including Donovan.
In the style of Clive Cussler, best-selling author Philip Donlay climbs to a new height of terror in his 8th Donovan Nash thriller

This book has action from chapter one. The book is fiction, but the story is not so far out there that it couldn't happen. I think what I liked most was how Lauren and Donovan were separated through the event, so it was almost as if we were told to different stories. I guess the only thing I didn't care for was the amount of characters. There were to many for my liking.

Speed the Dawn is the eighth excellent thriller in the Donovan Nash series written by author Philip Donlay. I believe that I now have a new favorite. Thanks to NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for the advance copy.

WOW, what a wild ride. I'll have to get the first seven of these Donovan Nash books.
Speed the Dawn has everything that makes a top notch thriller.
Takes place in California. Starts with a meteor shower, that is full of small deadly particles, that disable Laurnes plane in flight. It also ignites several forest fires that threaten numerous small cities. If that is not enough, the meteor impact cuses a tidal wave.
This is one of those books you can't put down once you start. I had the kindle version and I carried my kindle with me all day. I just had to know what was happening. Would Donovan escape the firestorm? Would the biker looters find and kill him? could Lauren come up with a solution to put out the fires? You will have to read the book and find out. This is one of the best thrillers I have read in a long time.
I highly recommend it.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. So glad I did.
