In Conversation with John Warner

Fans of Station Eleven, One Second After, The Rose Code, and Leave the World Behind will enjoy a novel about power, conscience, and what one generation is willing to hand the next. You do not want to miss Books Over Drinks with John Warner for The Tuesday Code! ABOUT THE BOOK: You’re exhausted by the polarization. Then it breaks, the way you feared. The president won’t leave. AI surveillance watches everyone as a temporary measure. For now. You told yourself it couldn’t happen. Then the Great Gridlock hits. The power’s out. Communication’s gone. The country goes dark and turns against itself. Riley Erwin does what most of us would do. He keeps his head down. Signs what needs signing. Tells himself it’s an emergency. Not everyone does. A master teacher and a street-smart teenager lead ordinary people to rebuild the trust that lets strangers keep one another alive. If they survive long enough to pass it on. The election is the first Tuesday in November. The Tuesday Code is what you do next.
