Small Town EMP
SURVIVE THE CHAOS
When the lights go out, anarchy reigns supreme.
After journalist Austin Merryman’s wife died, he and his fourteen-year-old daughter left home to travel the country in an old RV. But the comfort and renewal they sought soon descends into chaos.
After a message from an old college buddy leads Austin to a bridge in the middle of nowhere, he finds his friend—now an NSA agent—waiting to give him a USB drive. Before the contents can be explained, machine gun fire strafes the bridge, killing Austin’s friend and forcing Austin into the raging river.
Rescued downstream by a beautiful veterinarian, Austin learns that EMP attacks have thrust the world into eternal darkness—and separated him from the only person he has left. Now, he’ll move heaven and earth to locate his daughter and make it to his brother’s prepper hideaway in Utah.
But the post-apocalyptic world is no longer a friendly place. Resources are growing scarce. Factions break out along ethnic and religious lines. Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to survive in an increasingly hostile environment. And Austin’s daughter is caught right in the middle of this splintering society.
But an even deadlier foe stalks them as they struggle across the landscape. Someone who hasn’t forgotten about the USB drive Austin possesses.
And they’ll do anything to get it back.
SURVIVE THE AFTERMATH
The New World Order is at hand.
Civilization has crumbled since the EMP thrust humanity back into the Stone Age, and dangerous factions now scavenge for scarce resources in this terrifying new world.
Austin Merryman wonders what the future holds for his teenaged daughter, and if the madness surrounding them is even worth surviving. For now, the group is safe in his brother’s prepper house nestled in the Rockies. But the calm can’t last forever. With sixteen people crammed together in the tiny mountain home, tensions are bound to erupt. It doesn’t help that his brother’s lazy friend gets twisted pleasure from stirring up animosity, pitting brother against brother and daughter against father as battle lines are drawn.
But decisions about who stays and who goes are ripped from their hands as information on the USB drive lays bare pieces of the NWO’s plans. Austin realizes the horrifying truth of why he’s in their sights, as well as the danger he’s brought down on those he loves most. When tragedy again strikes the small group, it will be up to Austin to make the hard choices necessary to ensure their survival.
Until a dying man utters the single word that changes everything…
SURVIVE THE CONFLICT
The world has descended into a nightmarish hell. Death and destruction reign at every turn. Everywhere Austin Merryman has led his tightknit group of survivors has gone from bad to worse as enemies pursue them for the intelligence he possesses. Yet, his group remains steadfastly together even as the infighting continues.
It’s only when the cryptologist traveling with them finally breaks through the last coded barrier, exposing the full extent of the data on the mysterious USB drive, that their luck finally seems to be turning. So many have already given their lives to secure the information, and now they know why.
Now, a small window of opportunity remains for stopping the New World Order from succeeding in their plans, but Austin and his cohorts will have to move fast. Once again, splitting up may be their only option, but at what cost? And can they really launch the countermeasures that could take down the NWO’s plan for domination?
But when the enemy closes in and lives of his entire group are threatened, Austin will be forced to choose between his family and the ultimate survival of the entire world…
SMALL TOWN EMP
One man holds the key to the apocalypse …
Austin Merryman is a reporter and the single father of a 14-year-old daughter. But he’s separated from his child when a meeting with a contact goes wrong, and he must plunge into a raging river to escape a deadly ambush.
In the wake of a devastating EMP attack, Austin and another survivor named Amanda must take refuge with Austin’s brother, Ennis. But as the world outside descends into chaos, desperate neighbors surround the farm. And they’re willing to kill for the supplies Ennis has gathered.
Meanwhile, Austin struggles to decipher the mysterious intel he acquired before the collapse. His cryptic files reveal that a network of EMP satellites is keeping the world trapped in the dark ages. And the shadowy organization behind them will do anything to find Austin and silence him… for good.
When Austin’s daughter goes missing, he faces an impossible choice. A desperate quest to destroy the satellites could end this nightmare.
But it means leaving his own child behind…
SURVIVE THE UNREST
In the aftermath of disaster, safety comes with a price…
It’s been one year since the NWO was defeated. A year since the world got a fighting chance to claw its way out of darkness. But the road back is a long one, and the journey is fraught with danger.
At first, Austin Merryman is relieved to see soldiers in town, tasked with restoring order. He’s intrigued, as well. Dr. Lydia Koble is working to establish a regional government in the aftermath of the EMP. And she wants to meet community leaders like Austin.
Austin and Amanda set off for a meeting with the doctor, leaving Savannah, Malachi and Andy at the homestead. But they quickly discover Koble is not the benign leader she pretends to be. She craves power—and she’ll do whatever it takes to get it.
Meanwhile, Savannah slowly realizes the soldiers at their farm are not there for her protection. She, Malachi and Andy are little more than hostages.
And their battle for survival is not over yet…
SURVIVE THE TRAP
The homestead has become a trap…
With Zeke’s gang closing in, Amanda and Austin are forced to abandon the home they’ve fought so hard to protect. But in the aftermath of a devastating EMP, finding a working vehicle is no easy task. And with every moment, the danger grows as they race against time.
Desperation drives them toward Spokane where a rumored contact may hold the key to restoring power across the nation. But their path is fraught with hazards: crumbling roads, ruthless predators, and a washed-out bridge that threatens to stop them for good. When their truck grinds to a halt and leaves them stranded, they must risk a dangerous trip to a junkyard defended by dangerous thugs.
Zeke is right behind them, growing closer by the hour. And as they push forward, they’re reminded that he’s not the only threat lurking in the shadows—Voss is still out there, and he’s far from finished with them…
SURVIVE THE TURMOIL
In the battle for survival, one family makes its final stand…
In the aftermath of a devastating EMP attack, Austin and Amanda must seek out a new safe haven. When the tiny plane flying them to Seattle is forced to make an emergency landing, they find themselves stranded with a group of kids at a tiny mountain airstrip, miles from their destination. And they’re not alone…
Lydia Koble’s shadow stretches even into the remote Washington wilderness. When a truck full of armed militia pulls up, Austin and Amanda fear the worst. But it’s not Koble’s forces who have captured them. It’s something even more dangerous.
As Koble’s grip tightens on the surrounding area, more people rise up against her. An armed rebel force has built a base in the mountains—and Austin, Amanda, and the kids have strayed into their territory.
Austin never wanted to fight in a rebellion. He just wants to keep his family safe. But sometimes “safe” isn’t enough.
