Imagine you are
awakened early one morning by the distant sounds of what you think are
explosions. You spring out of bed and are hit with the smell of smoke,
but your house isn't on fire. You grab for the remote on the nightstand
and try to turn on the news - but the TV doesn't work. The sound of
sirens are whaling in the distance. You frantically flip a light switch
on and realize the power is out. Next you pick up the phone to make a
call - but there is only silence. Luckily, there is enough early morning
light to make your way into the living room to search for your cell phone.
You find your cell phone and dial 911 only to hear an obscure tone with
"No Service" flashing on the display. Your heart is beating
faster and faster as you try and not panic. Suddenly, you remember about
a short wave radio in the closet - in case of an emergency. Just as the
radio turns on you hear the emergency broadcast tones followed by
this message - This is not a drill. I repeat. This is
not a drill. The entire State of California has been attacked by an
unknown terrorists force. All power and utility services have been
knocked out. Thousands of people are missing and unaccounted for. The
Governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging everyone to
stay in their homes...
BOOK
SUMMARY
Somewhere between reality and
fiction lies the essence of Jay P. Farrington's compelling first novel,
Domestic Terrorism. A real-life street cop, Farrington expertly tells
the tale of Wes MacGregor - a street-wise law enforcement veteran whose
prophetic vision of the degeneration of America's teenagers comes
hauntingly true. Farrington introduces us to child armies who have
turned away from their dysfunctional families, to gain the acceptance of
a maniacal father figure, hell-bent on exacting his revenge on society
in general, and Wes in particular. Ripped from real life events,
Domestic Terrorism is a shockingly smart page-turner you won't soon
forget.

Behind the Cover
The boy on
the cover is a young neighbor who volunteered to be my model. He is
actually standing in my garage in front of a blue sheet. The background
is the street behind my house at dusk. After several hours in
front of my computer teaching my self graphic design, I came up
with this cover. I was pleased with the finished product since it
was my first book cover. I think it captures the essence of the
book.
