"Unprotected" Chapter 2; Host Reads Chapter of His Novel

Bookish Introverts Podcast host Brett Nelson reads Chapter Two of his novel "Unprotected"    Book Description: The United States government seeks to strip American citizens of their constitutional right to bear arms. For months, the nation has heard the talk, but most never thought it would happen. Now that it has, the clock is ticking until everyone must relinquish their guns, rendering them helpless to protect themselves and those they love the most. Bartlett’s Bend, Illinois is a quiet rural town where nothing bad ever happens, where the pace is slow, and where everyone knows everything about everyone else. Soon, along with citizens all over the country, they watch in horror as entire cities fall prey to rioting and looting. Lawless hordes rush to burn landmark institutions to the ground, destroying untold numbers of innocent lives. They think their town is safe from the mayhem, but soon they will find out just how wrong they are. James Tanner, his wife Sara, and family friend Julie witness relentless criminals vandalizing their neighbors’ homes and reducing beloved local businesses to cinder and ash. As national peril spreads like wildfire, fear cripples the residents of Bartlett’s Bend, who can no longer protect their families and their homes if the unfathomable happens in their own lives. Sheriff Connor grapples with enforcing a new law with which he doesn’t agree and works to appease his disgruntled townspeople. Can he keep his beloved town safe amid national chaos, or will the insurrections of the dregs of society destroy everything they hold dear? Unprotected is a story of Christian fiction that follows an entire town through perilous and uncertain times and is told from the perspective of Conservative Christianity. It is free of profanity and sexual themes. Brett Nelson is an Amazon best-selling author and host of Bookish Introverts Podcast, along with co-host Melanie Dyer.
