Within 72 Hours – Book One: The Fall of New York

When the first attacks hit Midtown Manhattan, no one believed it was real. Within hours, the largest city in America became ground zero for an outbreak that spread faster than anyone could react.

On the front lines are men and women trained to bring order to chaos—Marines, police, firefighters, and civilians—all caught in the first seventy-two hours of collapse. What begins as a single violent incident erupts into a full-scale national emergency as infected civilians overwhelm New York’s streets, forcing the U.S. government to seal the city and declare Protocol Delta.

Told through multiple perspectives—urban cops fighting to survive, Marines holding collapsing defensive lines, a President struggling to contain a nation’s panic—Within 72 Hours pulls no punches. Every order, radio call, and tactic follows real U.S. military and emergency doctrine. This isn’t a Hollywood apocalypse; it’s what would actually happen if America faced the impossible.

Written by Marine veteran Justin Conn, this first installment in the Within 72 Hours series combines the intensity of Black Hawk Down with the haunting realism of World War Z. It’s a cinematic, relentless story of duty, sacrifice, and survival in the opening days of the end.

The infection spreads in seconds.
The world falls in hours.
Everything ends within 72 hours.
