What if the Cuban Missile Crisis had become a full-blown atomic war? So begins Resurrection Day, a fascinating novel of tantalising, speculative history. The place is Boston. The year is 1972. It has been ten years since bombs fell over major cities in the United States and the Soviet Union. Russia is decimated. Omaha and San Diego are virtually destroyed. Washington D.C. lies beneath a giant crater lake. President Kennedy, Vice President Johnson, and their families have disappeared and are believed dead. "The best and brightest" of their administration are disgraced or in hiding. America is a shell of her former glory, a second-rate power dependent upon the kindness of Britain. Martial law rules. Carl Landry, a young reporter with The Boston Globe, arrives at the scene of a murder. DuBois has carefully interwoven fact and fiction to create a seamless story of multi-layered suspense - an unnerving story of what might have been.
