About this book

Artie Drager and his daughter Casey continue their fight for survival after an apocalyptic disaster destroys the power, communication, and transportation grids across America, plunging the country into anarchy and violence. This sequel to The Pulse follows their reunion after Artie's journey across the Caribbean and Casey's escape from New Orleans and a deranged abductor. Though the Gulf Coast swamps offer temporary safety, Artie, Casey, and their companions know they cannot stay. They plan to sail to safety on Artie's brother's catamaran, unaware that marauders have already ransacked the boat and left his brother dead. Traumatized by her ordeal, Casey faces a difficult choice when the man she loves becomes separated from the group. She must decide whether to remain behind to find him or continue with her father and uncle in their search for refuge.
