About the book
No power. No phones.
No cavalry coming.
An EMP attack silences America.
John recognizes what comes next. He knows exactly what desperate people become when order disappears.
He's a mechanic now. A husband to Lisa. A father to Max and Emily. He rebuilds classic cars instead of pulling triggers. He almost convinced himself that life was behind him.
Then Bedford, Pennsylvania, falls apart. Grant Kingsley seizes the regional hospital, trading medicine for loyalty. Woodland Avenue, the street John fortified and swore he could hold, turns on itself. And when Max does one reckless thing to save a friend, John's ordinary life is gone for good.
To keep his family breathing, he has to dig up the operator he buried. But violence has a cost. Because someone else remembers who John Kerrigan used to be. And they're coming.
For fans of SILO, The Last of Us, Kyla Stone's Edge of Collapse, and Cormac McCarthy's The Road.
Fair warning: this series is brutal, profane, and does not flinch. If you want your apocalypse clean, this is not your book.
