John Grisham brought legal suspense and intrigue to the mainstream—Tom Combs has done the same with the world of medicine.
Insurrection is a tomorrow’s-headlines story of domestic terror, greed, extremist violence, government and corporate corruption, race, irresponsible journalists/media, life or death medical and FBI action, and everyday people facing unimaginable conflict.
Emergency physician Drake Cody is on duty at a controversial oil pipeline’s opening ceremony when an explosion critically injures a Minnesota senator and others.
With the blast, sovereign citizen militia leader Tolman Freid, cruelly wronged by government and corporate injustice, has transformed his extremist anti-government ideology into terrorist action. He believes it is his obligation to take down the system, no matter the cost in innocent lives.
Drake races to the ER by ambulance while battling to keep the senator alive. Upon arrival at the hospital his hopes rise, but in the next minute, Freid and his militia set in motion the rest of their devastating scheme—a terrorist action more deadly than any in history—and it is centered in the ER.
While FBI agents and police coordinate desperate efforts outside the hospital, Drake, a few ER colleagues, and a handful of vulnerable patients must somehow stop the heavily-armed, fanatical extremists or they and tens of thousands of defenseless people will die. Book #4 in the series but written to read well as a standalone.
