About this item
FEAR THE DAYIn the near future, patches of the northern hemisphere have been shrouded in years of darkness from a nuclear winter, and the water level has risen in the North Atlantic. The island of Manhattan has lost its outer edges to flooding and is now ringed by a large seawall.The darkness and isolation have allowed crime and sin to thrive in the never-ending shadows of the once great city, and when the sun finally begins to reappear, everything gets worse. A serial killer cuts a bloody swath across the city during the initial periods of daylight, and a violent panic sweeps through crowds on the streets. The Manhattan police, riddled with corruption and apathy, are at a loss.That's when the Mayor recruits Jon Phillips, a small-town Pennsylvania cop who had just single-handedly stopped a high-profile serial killer in his own area, and flies him into the insanity of this new New York City.
About the Author
MICHAEL DAVID ARES is an entrepreneur and educator who started four community service businesses while writing and editing books for other people on the side. He is now a full-time author, and lives with his family in West Chester, Pennsylvania.Dave (that's the name he answers to) has always loved noir fiction, especially the Philip Marlowe books by Raymond Chandler, and has had a lot of experience with the dark side of our nature. Many years of community service, the challenges of raising seven children, and his own miserable failures have left him with a pessimistic view of humanity (apart from Divine intervention, that is) . He has also enjoyed science fiction with a psychological bent, like the works of Alfred Bester and Philip K. Dick, so it's no surprise that a neo-noir novel with sci-fi elements would come out of him (see Dayfall) .Among other projects, Dave is currently plotting the planned sequels to Dayfall, which will be set in London, Paris, Berlin, and Moscow, as the sunlight returns to those cities for the first time.
