Perfect for you if...

  • You love post-apocalyptic fiction grounded in realistic infrastructure challenges and political intrigue rather than just survival horror.
  • You're invested in series with strong character arcs and want to follow protagonists through complex, escalating stakes.
  • You appreciate stories where the protagonist succeeds technically but faces enemies in government, ideology, and sabotage.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone novels and don't want to start at book nine of a long series.
  • You're looking for action-heavy plots with minimal political or philosophical debate about societal change.
  • You want clear villains with straightforward motivations rather than complex factions with competing ideologies.

About this book

In the ninth installment of the Mad Mick Series, several months have passed since Walter Lightspeed successfully restored power to the United States using his wireless power delivery system. After a year without power, America begins to recover, and Lightspeed gains the presidency with military backing. Working with Conor, Ricardo, and their team, he accelerates power restoration efforts, makes regular radio addresses to the public, and provides Wi-Fi access, jobs, and aid to affected regions. However, Lightspeed faces opposition from multiple fronts. The political establishment resists his outsider status. Foreign actors exploit the nation's vulnerability. The Luddites, who believe the year without power restored balance to their lives, work against restoration efforts. Even members of Lightspeed's own organization become disillusioned with his methods and conspire against him. These sabotage attempts force Lightspeed and his team to confront difficult questions: What has America become? Is the nation beyond repair? Is destroying enemies more important than compromise? Is compromise more important than saving the nation?
