Michael Cordy’s Manhattan Down is a riveting, edge-of-your-seat thriller that grips you from the very first page and doesn’t let go. Combining high-stakes drama, a chillingly plausible scenario, and relentless pacing, this novel is both a heart-pounding action story and a thought-provoking commentary on the fragility of our modern world.
Set against the sweltering backdrop of a climate crisis and the weighty symbolism of the 9/11 anniversary, Cordy weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue. The premise is utterly gripping: a mysterious event renders the entire population of Manhattan unconscious, except for two compelling protagonists—Samantha Rossi, a determined single mother, and Nick Lockwood, a damaged yet resilient NYPD detective. Their race against time to uncover the truth and protect what they hold dear is as emotionally resonant as it is thrilling.
The atmospheric tension in Manhattan Down is palpable, and the twists keep coming, making it impossible to put the book down. This story feels tailor-made for the big screen or a binge-worthy streaming series.
A must-read for fans of tech thrillers, disaster dramas, and stories that keep you guessing until the very end. Bravo, Michael Cordy!
