Tierrasanta Bookstore has set the date for it’s first publication, a thriller and family drama set at ground zero of the nuclear apocalypse. Please, Let Me Save You (Thriller/Magical Realism/Science Fiction) will be available February 2025 on Kindle and in paperback through Amazon.
Written by Patrick Joseph Healy, Please, Let Me Save You features three interconnected stories about people trying to save their loved ones from impossible situations. Families come together, and romances are tested as the world falls down around them. It all began on that terrible day in 2020 when the nuclear bombs fell.
That day, Timothy carried his wife in his arms through gridlock to save her from nuclear fallout. Yolanda tried to protect her nephew and niece from the rising threats of racial violence. And Brandon? He’s discovered every time he dies, his mind resets exactly where he was thirty minutes earlier.
Too bad he’s at ground zero.
If he could somehow escape the blast, he might escape the unending loop. But he won’t try until he can convince his girlfriend of what’s about to happen, and she thinks he’s high. Unwilling to escape without her, he’s stuck living the same thirty minutes over and over, learning new and impossible skills. Stunt driving. Hypnotizing people with just a few words. These skills will allow him to master the apocalypse and save his new friends, Timothy, Yolanda, and, of course, Penelope. Saving loved ones from the end of the world probably sounds like a long shot.
But in the face of earthquakes, riots, and fire tornadoes, the one thing Brandon has is time.
