Synopsis

In a world without power, do you have what it takes to start again?

Three months have passed since a disastrous EMP left the nation without power, with only the strongest and most prepared still standing.

Jack is a survivor. After a tragic showdown, he is keen to step back and allow others to take the spotlight, scarred by painful memories of the casualties under his leadership.

But when a terrifying and charismatic new foe arrives on their doorstep, Jack and his friends are lured into a conflict that threatens to be even more devastating than the last. Can Jack step up and protect those he cares about when it matters most?

And in a world of muddy morals, who can be trusted?

Needed better editing. I expect an author to know when to use "I" or "me" properly. That he doesn't was a turn off from the start. And if the protagonist's father was so good at survival, why wasn't there a weapon and ammunition in the bug out bag? And where did the crossbow come from to save the who......more
