Trouble in Resurrection

Resurrection America by Jeff Gunhus

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


War is devastating. War changes lives. The aftereffects of war last a lifetime for the soldiers and their families. In Resurrection America, by Author Jeff Gunhus, the reader meets former marine Rick Johnson, now sheriff of a small town called Resurrection. Rick lives with a prosthetic arm as a result of his service. His deputy, Manny Garcia, is also a military survivor. Their experiences in the military still live within them; they cannot escape the memories.

Resurrection America is not the type of story I usually read, but I’m so glad I read this one. Sheriff Rick Johnson is not perfect, but no one is, and he’s my hero. He makes mistakes, yes. Who doesn’t? And what is a story, even a story with violence, without a romance? Dahlia and her young son are exactly what Rick needs to help him through the disaster that occurs in Resurrection when a virus threatens everyone in the town. Or does it? A lot of suspicious things are going on and Rick knows the small town and all the people in it are doomed, unless he can figure out who has invaded Resurrection and why.

The author throws in some surprises along the way. At least they surprised me. Resurrection America is a novel that made me wonder if something like this could actually happen. A scary thought. I was given an ARC for my honest review. I enjoyed the novel and hope to read more of the author’s work.
