Synopsis
He was the man on the mountain with more ammunition than the county sheriff’s office, a shortwave in his kitchen, and a pantry stocked to feed four people for a year. The whole mountain laughed at him. Then the EMP hit. Now the whole mountain was coming to Dutch’s gate. Lilly had come home to a dying father, a furious twin sister, and a family still broken by the years she’d been gone. Her sister had spent those years running the still alone, hauling wood up the ridge, and changing their father’s oxygen tanks at three in the morning. Now the world was ending, and they had to figure out how to be a family again before the men came for everything. In a world of EMP survival and post-apocalyptic ruin, a family’s love is the hope that keeps them alive.
