Kirby Wright launches first Futuristic Novel: PRELUDE TO THE APOCALYPSE

Paris Hilton and Lady Gaga are dead. So is the President. Psytrance parties rage as Palm Springs burns. Police and fire departments are gone. Marital Law is imposed to deal with the riots but the military is overwhelmed when Mexicans storm the border to reclaim California. Warlords battle private security forces for control of coastal towns.

Power, gas, and water are luxuries. Hummers and Motor Coaches are obsolete. The internet and cells are inoperative. Wifi is history. Stores have been ransacked. The black market thrives. Teenage gangs go door-to-door looting and killing. Suburbanites must either leave or risk getting slaughtered. Tent cities sprout like mushrooms from the beach into the desert.

Welcome to the Prelude to the Apocalypse.

Journey with Tony and Evo into the heart of the American Nightmare as they search for safe haven in a world that knows no rules.
