Praise for White Smoke
“Gilstrap lives up to the promise of his daring, and chilling, premise. White Smoke is his most fully realized version of life in the new America, almost like “The Walking Dead” without the zombies but where the humans are even more monstrous. A one-sitting read if ever there was one.” —Jon Land, Providence Journal
“Gilstrap has really hit it out of the park… Fans of the genre are sure to like Victoria Emerson, who is strong, smart, and unflappable. But the real key to this series working is the world in which the characters operate, and Gilstrap has established that brilliantly, laying out a universe that . . .well . .. doesn’t seem all that far-fetched sometimes these days.” —The Real Book Spy

Fans of doomsday military thrillers will delight in the resilience of Gilstrap’s family of preppers and their quest for survival on their terms. Readers will eagerly await the next installment.” —Publishers Weekly on Blue Fire
“Crimson Phoenix ticks every box for big-book thrillerdom. We’re treated to political turmoil, military action, harrowing escape and relentless pursuit, and heart-warming—and heart-wrenching—scenes of family struggling against conflict, which Gilstrap pens like no other author. The novel seizes you on page one and never lets go—and I don’t mean just until the last page; this riveting book will stay with you long after you finish it.
