. . .the Must Read tale that’s captivating the nation in this time of political turmoil.
A tale of heroism
The clock ticks toward the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. So does a bomb planted at a crowded Boston tourist site. A group of civilians—a grizzled school principal, a self-described techie geek, a wizened Catholic nun, and a passionate civil rights activist—stumble upon a plot to overthrow the US government. Can this motley crew team up in time to foil the terrorists and save the country? O’Mara’s latest novel probes the culture of hurt and hate, the protective force of friendship in a violent world, and the subtle power of love to heal a divided nation.

taken From a National Publisher’s review
Analyze, assess, avoid, attack – gripping from the get go. The story flows from an almost perfect stream of consciousness, with the description of a mischievous little Chuckie who sets the tone for what I thought would be a light-hearted read and shifts almost immediately, but oh so well, into a tense environment; the once friendly school principal, Dr. O, becoming almost indistinguishable from the man he was that morning as he steps into the headspace of Marine Capt. Sean Padraig O’Casey.
What I thought might yet be another mildly entertaining read at best, turned out to be one of the most captivating, well-written and blood pumping story I’ve had the pleasure of reading in quite some time. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that if this got the proper coverage and marketing, I see it even hitting the big screens as an adaptation one day, maybe with Liam Neeson or Casey Affleck as our beloved Dr. O. The clarity, flow of thoughts, and transition from one sentence to the next are all in such near perfect synchronicity that I have no option but to commend this author on a job VERY well done. What O’Mara has written is a gem; that’s for sure. You’ve got one potential reader lined up and ready to purchase your book the moment it’s out.
The Reluctant Heroes Who Saved America
Hateful, racist language and bigotry fill the airways daily as America moves inexorably toward a dystopian, Aryan nation. Should one’s skin color or accent be the admit or exit ticket for our nation? In this novel set in the near future, the battle for America’s soul could not be more real. Who will step up to save our nation and the values of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness that it was founded upon? A ragtag group of everyday American unsung heroes may have found the answer; kindness and courage in the face of cruelty may just be the antidote, as we hurtle forward toward an uncertain and terrifying future.
