A week is a long time in politics, but six days can destroy
democracy... It should be the happiest days for former special
forces agent Drew Connor. Out walking in New Hampshire's White
Mountains with his girlfriend Sheila Cass, he has butterflies in
his stomach and an engagement ring in his pocket. Then a
thunderstorm hits, and they take shelter in what Sheila thinks is a
relay station for a state utility. But when Drew enters the
building, he realizes they have stepped into something far more
sinister. Bullet-proof checkpoints. Telephone hotlines. A sign by a
map that reads INTERNMENT CENTERS. And on a whiteboard a large,
handwritten message: CASE SHILOH: ON 9/19 WE TAKE HER BACK Drew's
instinct is to get Sheila out as quickly as possible, and when they
stop at a general store, and the police open fire without asking
questions, his worst fears are confirmed. Someone wants them dead
for what they have seen. And as Drew and Sheila discover, they have
stumbled on a plot to kill the president and overthrow the American
government, a plan that is to take place in just six days time.
With the conspirators claiming they are terrorists on the run, Drew
knows it is going to be hard enough just to stay alive, let alone
put a stop to this most deadly of political schemes... By the
award-winning author of RESURRECTION DAY and TWILIGHT, SIX DAYS is
a 'what-if' thriller of chilling credibility, a terrifying tale of
what can happen when power games are mistaken for politics, and
paranoia for patriotism. REVIEWS "The whole shebang is as American
as apple pie and handguns in the classroom. Of course there's an
almighty conflagration at the climax, but DuBois shapes a tight
sentence and the plot crackles along." -- Sunday Age newspaper "A
well-paced, exciting "what-if" thriller." -- Irish Independent
newspaper ..".DuBois injects such pace into his writing that the
story rips breathlessly along." -- Birmingham (UK) Post
