In twelve cities across the United States, innocents are abducted from movie theatres with serial executions to follow-broadcast live.
The lines between good and evil fade as the story unfolds. Hostages and captors, analysts and officials, families and viewers are stripped of their allegiances. The impending reckoning drives the affected to reflect on how they got here, who they are, and whom they'll choose to become.
As law enforcement and government officials strive to save and protect, a network news team struggles in a new era of information to contradict the depraved message the captors wish to disseminate.
The best and worst of humankind is on display as readers explore the uncertainty, sacrifice, regrets, joy, motivations, and hopes of those touched by the extraordinary events.
The All-Americans integrates a strong, character-driven narrative with the harsh suspense of a life-or-death situation to challenge our contemporary perceptions of self and identity. The reader is compelled to contemplate what it means to be human and whether second chances are given...or taken.
