Books by Albert a Correia

The Arthur family was finally able to get a peaceful night's sleep on beautiful Catalina Island... or so they thought. Confronted the next day by demands for "taxes," they, and all the residents of Catalina, learn that a former state legislator - who is also a former state prison inmate - has installed himself as governor of California. * * * * * Catalina Island and the small Central California town of Tracy are among the few habitable areas still in existence, but every day is a new challenge and their residents learn that must fight to survive. Each area has to find its own unique way of combating an illegal government and its "militia" consisting of a cutthroat gang of hardened criminals.

When small town families begin to mysteriously disappear, Zach Arthur traces them to a maximum-security penitentiary where he finds they are being held as involuntary laborers. When his thirteen-year-old daughter, Denise, is kidnapped and thrown into the same prison, it becomes personal.

The Arthur family's four-month cruise in the South Pacific was smooth sailing... until the GPS stopped working and the radio went silent. Almost capsized in a late night, near-collision at sea, questions raced through Zach Arthur's mind as he replayed the series of events that had recently occurred. Mainly, why would a U.S. aircraft carrier try to run them over? * * * Something didn't feel right... and it wasn't. The Arthurs soon found that life as they knew it would never be "normal" again. The whole world had gone mad, and one primary questioned remained: Would they ever find safe harbor again?
