What would your family do

if foreign powers used gangs

to paralyze American cities

and the heartland?

What would your family do

If EMPs knocked out power

and society was on the

brink of chaos?

September 2049: Colonel Deb Lisco warns the Pentagon brass about pending threats to the security of the country from foreign enemies. They do not act on her warnings, but she does. She, along with her nephew Bill, create a safe haven in eastern Colorado where family and friends can shelter during the turbulence of the war she knows is coming.

October 2051: American cities are invaded by foreign insurgents utilizing EMPs to knock out power, while homegrown rebels, on their payroll, fight the citizens to take control.

2051 is a novel about the Lisco family, who work together with friends, as the unthinkable happens, War on American Soil. It is a tale of the strength and resolve of the family as they struggle to endure the escalating threats. It becomes apparent that everyone will need to fight as the danger grows in ferocity and magnitude from enemy forces attacking from Mexico across the southern border.

The passion and fighting spirit of Colonel Deb is illustrated as she battles to save the country from the approaching enemies, as her brother, Colonel Ted Lisco, fights the insurgents. Brothers Jon and Hank, along with the rest of the family and friends work to protect the farm and people who live there. The encounters the family have with strangers show the best and worst of the human spirit.

Praise for 2051

2051 is a fast-paced and engaging read. I was immediately pulled into the story and drawn to the characters. It's an inspiring story of how people can come together to support one another during the most trying times.

I read all 3 books in the series and couldn't wait for each to come out. Dan has an amazing ability to portray people, from the young Maddie to older people, all are believable. His respect for women and for family shines through, as well as his sense of humor. The books are well researched and definitely worth reading.

~Debbie Stewart

Great easy reading book. I had a hard time putting it down. Love that the book talked about cars, trucks and guns from the past. Then what the future guns, cars and trucks may look like in 2051. Book presents women advancing in future and how the love of family helps keep everyone in the family safe. You see why we need a strong community to survive in disaster. Need for people to open up their hearts to create this community. Remembering that accepting all people and forgiveness is needed for a community to be formed and this community then is more powerful than its numbers suggest.

An easy to read and interest grabbing book! While fiction, it is easy to see something like this happening. It makes you wonder if you shouldn't start "preparing" for such a catastrophic event... Highly recommend. The last book I tried to read I could only read for half an hour before needing a break. I read this in two nights. I found it to be one of those where you want to know how it ends and cannot wait to find out.

I enjoyed the three books of 2051. I couldn't put them down. The author’s research was extensive, and the story is imaginative.

Wow. This book shook me up a little. As a currently serving citizen Soldier, this hits on some fears I didn't know I had. We are now in an interwar period without a clear threat to be preparing to face. The American public has not taken the Russian chaos machine's influence on our social media and election seriously. We do not see how China is using our economic reliance on them to further its expansion. If things go wrong, the setting for this book could become real.
