Emp: The Day the Pulse Hit : A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller

Amy Wallace is thirty-seven, works three jobs, and has nine seconds to understand what has happened to her city.

Her neighbor Terry Elker has been leaning on her fence for four years without ever asking her out. He gets in his truck and drives straight to her.

North of Spokane, in the timber near the Canadian border, he teaches her children to build a fire in the rain and read a track and boil every drop of water they drink. He is very good at keeping people alive.

He is also good at deciding who to keep alive, and there is a difference, and Amy learns it the hard way.

Because the woods are filling up. And out east, past the ridgeline, somebody is already keeping a list.
