Americans fight the dictator who takes over when terrorists blow up the White House and the Capitol, slaughtering the president and most high level officials. A man and a woman freedom fighters kidnap the dictator's wife to trade her for their POW comrades. He a former Army Ranger and she a Military Police officer find common ground in their hatred for the dictator, and their need to avenge their families. Terrorists and the dictator’s troops chase them through the Potomac River’s wilderness. Unpredictable feelings for each other make their task harder. This is the first of three episodes of the Insurrection Series.

About the Author

A former American diplomat in the US Foreign Service and US Army infantry officer, I served both in the US and abroad, during peace and during war time. In addition to other military and diplomatic skills, I speak several foreign languages.

I received a BA on Politics and Public Affairs from the University of Miami, and MSs from Florida International University in Public Administration and The National War College in National Security Strategy.

I started writing the Insurrection Series in 2013 and currently live  in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dan Santos began writing novels after a successful career as a US diplomat in Europe, Africa and Latin America. Before that, he served our country as an infantry officer in the US Army.

His thrillers have the direct, no-nonsense style of his diplomatic dispatches and his words are neither shy nor politically correct. When things need to be said he writes them "loud and clear."

Brother and sister vets love The Insurrection Series, the story of how Americans revolted against a dictator who took over after a cataclysmic terrorist act. Yet, his sentimental novella about a beloved dog, hugs the reader's heart and has landed on three Amazon best-selling lists. Letters from Blitz was recently translated into Spanish.

Dan is working on a spinoff to the Insurrection Series, an organized crime thriller, and - by public request - the story of a boy and his dog.

The rough streets of Brooklyn will always stay in Dan's heart, but he now lives with his family in the Maryland countryside, not far from the awesome Potomac River.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very worrisome possible future
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022

This book/author was introduced to me by my author-friend Mike Slavin. This book is strikingly worrisome. Meaning it is a very worrisome presentation of a possible future. While several of my liberal friends feel (and remind me) that the biggest threat in the present US is right-wing domestic terrorists, my answer is that Al Qaeda (or another flavor of jihadist extremists, such as Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, Boko Haram, etc.) makes me much more anxious. And Dan Santos has brought my nightmares to life in his apocalyptic novel describing the total destruction of our governmental infrastructure, and the take-over by Al Qaeda terrorists along with the invasion of the US west Coast by the Chinese. The protagonist of the book, Jude Winthrop is a former Army ranger turned diplomat, and the author’s personal life experience both in the military and diplomatic arenas makes the book very “realistic” in its details. The story moves very fast. I just bought the 2nd and 3rd books in the triology.

4.0 out of 5 stars A scary look into the future
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

Well written story by an author who has "lived the Military Life"; frequent technical jargon reveals that the author did his homework. Lots of jumping around in the form of flashbacks and previous history ... so you have to pay attention to the story thread. A look into what "might happen" in the future as terrorism spreads around the world ... could this scenario happen here in the USA? Some scary stuff ... hope this just remains a fantasy of the future. Ended too soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think his description of a Armageddon in America is a plausible one.

As a person who has studied war and wars throughout history, I think Dan Santo's book "Insurrection, Appalachian Command" is a well thought out possibility. He tells the story well, including the tragedies and atrocities that are a part of it. He brings attention to the emotions of those who participate and gets close to their priorities. He has spent much time studying the technology of war and the mindset of warriors. I enjoyed the read very much, and I will buy the other two books of the series, Thanks Dan.!

4.0 out of 5 stars Can it BE!

As I like science fiction well it kept my interest.

It is a chilling read when you realize that this could be prophesy; not fiction.

The world does seem to be headed in the direction of global chaos. Hope fully that this book will remain "FICTION!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Frightening, realistic and exquisitely well-told!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013

Insurrection: Appalachian Command is a frightening apocalyptic read about America's nightmare come true--the destruction of our governmental infrastructure and the take-over by Al Qaeda terrorists. It reminded me a bit of the movie "Red Dawn" but it's better, and Dan Santos has the military and government service background that enables him to write this story. A gripping read that I finished in two sittings. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the state of our world today and the threats facing America. A must-read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost all too real ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2014

I loved this book, the characters, and the setting. Taking place in the near future, it seems, on one hand, to be unreal. On the other hand, it is so real that it is truly scary. I would recommend this book to everyone and especially those who follow current events.

I find it even more fascinating to read a story when I am familiar with the names and locations. I can see a strong element of truth running throughout the story. I would like to think this could not really happen, but....
