Synopsis

A thrilling narrative of survival amid the violence and chaos following the catastrophic destruction of America's power grid.

As massive solar flares bombard the Earth, an intense electromagnetic pulse brings down America’s long-neglected power grid. The electric age ends and anarchy descends as desperate citizens panic. Artie Drager, whose dream Bahamas vacation turns into every parent’s worst nightmare, finds himself stranded thousands of miles from his home and only daughter, Jessica. As the horrible aftermath unfolds, Jessica is frantic about her father lost somewhere at sea. But first she must save herself right at home. Gangs of looters are raping, creating havoc, and taking everything in sight. Jessica is forced to bug out from the crumbling streets of New Orleans into the desolate and dangerous backwaters of Mississippi while her father sets sail on a trackless ocean a thousand miles away. This compelling, fast-paced, action-adventure novel has readers riveted and uneasy, questioning whether they would have what it takes to survive in an America lit only by firelight.

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
