October Strong
Mike always dreamed of being a police and SWAT team officer. But no one could have prepared him for the toll the job would take, especially after multiple “critical incidents.” As he struggles to stay strong while helping those around him, his faith in humanity is tested.
Greg, a veteran turned mechanic, never thought the skills he learned in Iraq would later be used on American soil.
Shari, an ER nurse on the front lines of trauma, will do everything she can to save others.
After a life-changing accident as a child, Jim fights to piece his life back together and comes face to face with evil.
The lives of these and other unsung heroes intersect on October 1, 2017, in a way that will change them forever.
Honoring those who stand in the gap, put their lives on the line, and sacrifice for others, October Strong reveals the experiences of first responders, ER nurses, the police, SWAT, and the military.
Allyn T. Goodrich
Allyn Goodrich, a Las Vegas SWAT officer, beautifully chronicles the lives of those affected by the Las Vegas October 1 tragedy in this fictionalized account of the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in American history.
“October Strong is a must-read. While this may be his first novel, Allyn demonstrates a natural gift for storytelling. Using his experience and knowledge developed as a police SWAT team member as well as his deep belief in compassion and empathy, he has created a work that reveals the heart that beats beneath the badge.”
