Meet the Author

Description

Join us at The Friendly Brew for an author event with James Cleary for his new book, Sanctuary!

“The meek shall inherit the Earth, unless the rich get there first.” That’s the reality of the post-apocalyptic world in this electrifying debut thriller.

The near future…

Climate disasters have crippled the United States. With half the country under water and the other half a dust bowl, civil unrest would soon escalate into something darker, something unstoppable. Billionaire John Brandt anticipated this and channeled his money, power, and influence into being prepared for the great unraveling.

Now Brandt, his family, and his security team must retreat to Sanctuary, their underground bunker—a vast luxury mansion beneath the parched earth of the Nebraskan Great Plains. But they are not alone. Above ground a group of raiders are desperate to survive and will use any means possible to accomplish that goal.

As tensions mount both inside and out, battle lines are drawn— between the haves and the have-nots, between decency and expediency, between life and death. In this game, everyone's a loser.

James is a Wisconsin author, award-winning playwright, and theatre professional who has worked extensively as an actor, director, and playwright. Penguin grabbed this book up in less than a week and international rights were snatched before the agent had even officially sent the book over! Books will be available for purchase and James will be signing copies.
