Surviving the collapse was hard. But the winter is a different challenge.
When the lights went out across America, retired Green Beret Dave pulled together a disparate group of people to a cave in the Great Smoky Mountains where they stand a chance of making it as the world around them descends into anarchy.
That was the easy part.
What's coming is the cold. The slow draw-down of food. The infections that don't get treated. The injuries that don't heal. The grief for the lives lost that moves through the group the way disease moves — finding the weakest first, then the next.
The long wait for Spring.
And not far away, a billionaire on the ridge above Cades Cove who has not lost what everyone else has lost. He has fuel. He has security. He is also waiting for Spring.
SARAH, the scientist, runs the numbers. The numbers don't get better.
LILY, seventeen, journal in her pack, who has lost everyone she cared about, has stopped trying to survive and started trying to remember.
COLE, the bookie who always knew when to fold, watches the pills dwindle and the days get shorter.
DAVE, who has spent thirty-one years preparing for moments when systems fail, has prepared for everything except the question of who, in the spring, he'll have to bury. And who he has to kill now to get there.
The cascade is over. The cold is just starting. And lingering in the background: how did this happen?
Who walks out of the cave in April? It’s about hard decisions.
DEEP WINTER is Book Two of The Green Beret Survival Series from New York Times bestselling author and former Green Beret BOB MAYER. Picks up where SLOW FALL ended.
Genre: Thriller
