Frontiers of the EMP: East of Extinction: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller, (Paperback)

<p>The lights went out in a single silent instant. They are never coming back.</p><p>Twenty-eight-year-old Dana Thompson built her life off the grid in the Pennsylvania woods, raising her sixteen-year-old sister Jorelle with nothing but a .22 rifle, a single-shot shotgun, and a promise to keep her alive no matter what. Then one ordinary night, an electromagnetic pulse kills every machine in the country, and a nuclear flash blooms over the southern horizon where their family was sitting down to dinner.</p><p>The old world is over. And the men who waited their whole lives for the lights to go out are already moving up the trail.</p><p>What begins as one desperate night of survival becomes a journey across a shattered continent. Warlords carve up the dying middle of the country. A militia calling itself the Authority hunts Dana for a thing she doesn't even know she carries. And deep in the dark, a far more terrifying power is rising from the ashes of the old government, one that will burn the whole free world to claim the single drive that could bring the lights back.</p><p>But the lights can only return one way. The wrong way. As a chain that glows.</p><p>Forced to choose between a tyrant's light and the free dark, Dana gathers a fragile family out of the apocalypse: a grieving widower, a nurse who appeared out of the night, an old scientist who knows too much. Together they run, and fight, and bury the people they love, all the way to the western frontier and beyond, until a single impossible hope points them toward one last destination.</p><p>A hardened facility, a thousand miles south, in Georgia. The only place on the continent where the lights might come back the right way. Or the place where Dana finally learns they are gone forever.</p><p>The whole broken country lies between her and the answer.</p><p>And the enemy already knows she's coming.</p>
