Synopsis

A Riveting Story of Survival After the Catastrophic Destruction of America’s Power Grid Throws the Country into Darkness and Chaos

Days have turned into weeks with no contact from anyone outside of North America, where the power, communication and transportation grid has been completely destroyed by massive solar flares. In the ensuing chaos, grocery store shelves have been stripped bare and panicked survivors have fled the cities and towns, sweeping across the countryside in a desperate attempt to find sustenance and avoid the violence.

Artie Drager has risked everything to sail from the West Indies to New Orleans, where his daughter Casey was attending college. Finally catching up with her after discovering she had long since evacuated the city with her friends, Artie’s plan to get her to safe refuge on his brother’s sailboat begins to fall apart. Artie and his daughter must fight to survive, and hard choices must be made when part of their crew fails to return before they must set sail.

This sequel to THE PULSE explores the descent into anarchy that occurs when everything familiar in modern life is suddenly stripped away and survivors must adapt to a harsh new reality or die.

Goodreads review by Leanna

Okay, good news first. This second volume of the 3-part series has a fairly well-constructed plot.

And his description of the elements of American society respond......more

Goodreads review by David

OK I guess… This really should have been the ending chapters of the first book…no real progress for our merry band, just a side quest or two. The sailing aspect remains the best part and the rest is still the same old hat. The convenience factor is still strong in this installment. Spoilers ahead, so......more

This continues the first book with Murphy's Law at every turn in the river. Scott Williams again keeps the reader on edge waiting for the next unexpected turn that will hinder how to solve each turn of Murphy's Law events.......more
