When the lights went out, civilization fell in hours. Now survival means becoming someone you never thought you'd be.
Sam Prescott is still a thousand miles from his family, pedaling a stolen bicycle across the frozen Kansas plains with two companions he never expected: Adam, a former ski patroller nursing a shattered knee, and Keith, a teenager who's already seen more death than most adults survive. Every abandoned rest stop could be a refuge or an ambush. Every stranger on the highway carries the same desperate math, and Sam has learned that desperation doesn't ask permission before it pulls a trigger.
In the Missouri wilderness, his wife Rachel watches smoke columns rise where none existed the day before. An organized group has established itself within striking distance of their cabin, and her brother-in-law Jeff, an ex-con whose capacity for violence once terrified her, is now the only thing standing between her children and the men closing in. When Jeff proposes taking the fight to their doorstep, Rachel doesn't argue. She picks up a rifle.
Meanwhile, in the months before the pulse, Colonel Terry Wolfe saw it all coming. He begged Washington to listen. They buried his warnings under politics and procedure. Now, deep beneath Hill Air Force Base, the preparations he made in secret may be the only thread connecting a shattered nation to any hope of recovery.
Written by Justin Bell, one of the most prolific post-apocalyptic authors on Amazon, with nearly a hundred titles to his name. If you love books by Mike Kraus, Kyla Stone, TL Payne, Jack Hunt or Ryan Schow you'll LOVE Justin Bell!
