Silhouettes of America
"The weak dies in the hands of the strong.
My nemesis may die but I'll live.
I'll live because I am strong."
- Avery Collins
An exhausted teenager was sleeping on the bench of a bus stop when noises of people cursing and screaming profanities wake her. Shock registered across her face when she opened her eyes and saw masses of people running on the streets, pushing each other.
BANG!
Bombs and bullets flew like magma from an erupting volcano. Blood graced the cemented streets. Dead bodies of people lay in every corner like debris. At that moment, the teen realized that San Francisco is currently being bombed. This is much worse than a zombie apocalypse, the teenager thought. She made a run for her life and tried to escape death.
She was Avery Collins, an 18-year old US citizen. Abandoned by her assassin father at a young age, she swore that her life's mission was to find him - - to answer lifelong questions that haunted her everyday. Why did he train me to become a fighter at such a young age? Why had he then disappeared?
On the other side of the spectrum, lived ARMOR - - the renowned terrorist group in USA. ARMOR had bombed countless cities across America and caused extreme casualties. The day after the San Francisco bombing, a letter was sent to the White House which confirmed the FBIs allegation of ARMOR being the sole mastermind of the bombing. "Keep your eyes open all the time, Mr. President. ARMOR will attack anytime, anywhere," was the highlight of the letter. George Harris, the US President was forced to prepare for the worst.
As the United States of America slowly collapsed behind her, Avery Collins begins to uncover secrets that will change the course of her life and her country forever - - secrets about Jacob Collins, her country, ARMOR and the real identity of the US President.
She's not alone, however. She is riddled with the companionship of a little boy with a love for technology, a sassy girl with a camera, and Luke - - a man who she never thought would mean so much to her.
Embark on a journey of mystery, romance, drama, and love - - all in one book. Keep a watch out for the best ride of your life as the Silhouettes of America slowly unfolds right before your eyes.
