A post-apocalyptic novel that explores the aftermath of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States. The story follows John Matherson, a retired military officer, as he navigates the chaos that ensues when all modern technology is rendered useless. With no electricity, transportation, or communication, society collapses, and survival becomes a daily struggle. Matherson and his community must adapt to this new reality, facing challenges such as scarcity of resources, lawlessness, and the breakdown of societal norms.
