Sinossi

The nation’s capital has fallen to the zombies in the series that started with Gnash, “a mashup of Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and just a dash of Dan Brown” (Larry Duane, host of Not Ready for Radio). 
 
Six years ago, the president made the difficult decision to abandon Washington to the undead—and The Wall was built to keep them trapped inside. Now, a new presidential election revives the hopes of the nation as one candidate promises to retrieve the Declaration of Independence and Constitution from behind The Wall. 
 
Retired CIA operative Asher Hawke, AKA the Kestrel, agrees to lead a team to recover the national treasures. But when they insert behind The Wall, they discover that organized crime families have been stealing priceless artwork and cash—as well as disposing of bodies . . . 
 
Praise for the thrillers of Brian Parker 
 
“Gnash is an action-packed read that’s as scary a nest of black widow spiders taking up residence in your bedroom.” —The Bookie Monster 
 
“Parker did a wonderful job of creating a seedy Noir future setting which invokes Blade Runner without copying it.” —C.T. Phipps, author of the Supervillainy Saga 
 
“These characters are so well rounded and perfect in their imperfection it feels incredibly real as you read it.” —J.B. Havens, author of the Steel Corps series 
 
“With A Path of Ashes, Brian Parker has taken a major step toward becoming a leader in Post-Apocalyptic fiction.” —W.J. Lundy, author of the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot series

    This genre-bending national bestseller is “a horror-dystopic-philosophical mash-up, drawing comparisons to Borges, The Matrix and Jaws” (The New York Times Magazine).   Eric Sanderson wakes up in a house he doesn’t recognize, unable to remember anything of his life. A note instructs him to call a Dr. Randle, who informs him that he is undergoing yet another episode of memory loss, and that for the last two years—since the tragic death of his great love, Clio, while vacationing in Greece—he’s been suffering from an acute dissociative disorder. But there may be more to the story, or it may be a different story altogether.   With the help of allies found on the fringes of society, Eric embarks on an edge-of-your-seat journey to uncover the truth about himself and escape the predatory forces that threaten to consume him. Moving with the pace and momentum of a superb thriller, exploring ideas about language and information, as well as identity, this is ultimately a novel about the magnitude of love and the devastating effect of losing that love.   “Paced like a thriller, it reads like a deluge . . . Herman Melville meets Michael Crichton, or Thomas Pynchon meets Douglas Adams.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “Rousingly inventive.” —The Washington Post   “Unforgettable fiction.” —Playboy   “A thriller that will haunt you.” —GQ   “Sharp and clear . . . Writing on the edge of the form.” —Los Angeles Times   “Huge fun, and I gleefully recommend it.” —Audrey Niffenegger, international–bestselling author of The Time Traveler’s Wife   “Fast, sexy, intriguing, intelligent.” —Toby Litt

    A sentient cloud whose arrogance leads to its own demise. A rich uncle who discovers a possible solution to climate change, but is not who he appears to be. A phantom killer who uses other people (and their cars) to commit murder. Balloons that predict the future. Paranormal investigators at the beach. Wolfmen who hunt bears for sport. A Cinderella story at a retirement home. Celebrities forced to make movies for eternity in a simulated world. A girlfriend who believes we reside in the mind of God.  
    Part noir, part humour and part horror (often all three). First Things Last is a book you might have to read twice to find your way out of.
