In this action-packed, post-apocalyptic story, a retired Marine risks everything to defend life as we know it.

It's a day like any other for Andy Lemon and his family before the world changes forever. Technology stops working. Natural disasters rock the earth. Cars start exploding. Shaken by an unknown event, America—the land of the free—turns apocalyptic overnight, and all hell breaks loose. While Andy, a retired Marine, knows how to protect his family from the chaos, other citizens are tricked into government camps with horrid living conditions. Confronted with the plight of his people and plagued by visions of loss and defeat, Andy decides he must act before it's too late to save his family and his freedom.

At the White House, President Keller, blackmailed by the mysterious Mr. X, knew all about this deadly event-and did nothing to stop it and guard his people. With the other top government officials locked in the Capitol Building, Mr. X has the president under his thumb, right where he wants him, and the American people are paying the price.

On his fateful journey to the capital to save his country, Andy reunites with his band of brothers and forges surprising alliances. Together, they recruit other freedom fighters to their cause and begin to uncover the truth of what the government has been hiding. When it matters most, they must risk everything on the battlefield to liberate their people and reclaim their livelihood. In A Day like Any Other, join our hero on a riveting fight for freedom from tyranny and consider your own destiny.

Wildly entertaining

This was an exciting and action packed story. I could not stop listening to the audiobook version. Even with my one hour and 20 minute commute I found myself arriving home and sitting in the driveway wanting to listen to more. This story does not seem as far-fetched as I would have said four years ago. In reality, it is a reminder to all citizens that we need to make sure our government works for us, we the people. Getting too cozy with our enemies and dismantling our government might not be the best idea. This book takes it a step further but it is worth reading for the entertainment value. After all, it is entertaining fiction.
The author obviously was in the military because his portrayal of events has details of actions that proves this to be true. The only negative is hearing the narrator sing, LOL, just kidding. Well, done on a truly entertaining book. Should there be another book, I will certainly be reading that one as well.
