Of Ashes and Dust by Ron Roman, now available from Histria Books

LAS VEGAS - June 25, 2024 - PRLog -- Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of the paperback edition of Of Ashes and Dust by Ron Roman. This gripping novel is published by Addison & Highsmith Publishers, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.

At the turn of the Millennium, three people struggle for survival in a small New Hampshire town as the world spins into chaos, not realizing that each harbors secrets that will eventually pit them against one another. The story evolves from the U.S. Government's earlier two classified secret projects during the Vietnam War (the USAF's revelation about UFOs and Project Sixty-Seven). Of Ashes and Dust is a no-punches-pulled apocalyptic tale of mesmerizing intrigue and gut-retching survival told as an alternate-history thriller during the Last Days of a global Armageddon, culminating in a totally unexpected and explosive ending.

Dr George Guthridge, winner of Bram Stoker Award for Children of the Dusk calls it "A riveting story about the American apocalypse from the perspective of a professor who, a combat vet, is a member of a militia in a small New England town. Thoughtful and eye-opening."

John Coyne, author of Hobgoblins says "A gripping tale of post-apocalyptic survival set against a backdrop of a world spiraling into chaos, disaster and the ultimate survival. Though taking place at the time of the Millenium, it's a novel dangerously close to these times."

Associate Professor of English, ESL, and Humanities, Ron Roman has taught with the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC- Asia) since 1996. He has written extensive travel, academic, and political articles for regional and national publications. He studied writing (both fiction and creative) for his third graduate degree (Humanities) from Wesleyan University.
