About the Book

When the lights went out, civilization fell in hours. Now survival means becoming someone you never thought you'd be.

Sam Prescott thought escaping the burning wreckage in Nevada was the hardest part. He was wrong. Detained at a military compound in Salt Lake City, processed like cargo instead of a citizen, Sam discovers that the government isn't just managing the crisis, they're exploiting it.

Meanwhile, Adam Barlow, a Park City ski patroller conscripted for search and rescue, makes a devastating discovery. Keith, the teenage boy he swore to protect, has been taken to a secretive mountain facility where teenagers are being subjected to disturbing experiments. Haunted by guilt and driven by conscience, Adam risks everything to infiltrate the compound and finds an unexpected ally in Sam.

In the Missouri wilderness, Sam's wife Rachel has transformed from suburban mother to fierce protector. With Sam's brother Jeff, an ex-con with a violent past, she's turned an isolated cabin into a fortress. But when armed strangers discover their sanctuary, Rachel must defend her children with skills she never knew she possessed.

Two desperate journeys. One family torn apart. And a conspiracy that suggests some people knew the catastrophe was coming.

Written by Justin Bell, one of the most prolific post-apocalyptic authors on Amazon, with nearly a hundred titles to his name. If you love books by Mike Kraus, Kyla Stone, TL Payne, Jack Hunt or Ryan Schow you'll LOVE Justin Bell!
