Perfect for you if...

  • You love post-apocalyptic thrillers where survival depends on quick thinking and moral choices under extreme pressure.
  • You want a grounded disaster story that centres on practical skills and strategy rather than fantasy elements.
  • You're drawn to mysteries where the protagonist must uncover secrets whilst staying one step ahead of ruthless pursuers.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction where internal development matters more than external threat and action.
  • You're looking for romance as a central plot thread rather than survival as the primary tension.
  • You dislike stories that involve teenagers in mortal danger or high-stakes situations.

About this book

A massive solar storm disables power and communication worldwide, sending civilization into chaos. In the remote Oregon mountains, military veteran Rex Hays believed he was prepared for societal collapse—until events unfold beyond his expectations. While hunting, Rex rescues a teenage girl named Zoe Mills from a mountain lion attack. Injured and with no memory of how she came to be in the wilderness, Zoe becomes the subject of a dangerous mystery. Strangers arrive searching for Zoe and will pursue her relentlessly. As attacks on Rex's land intensify, he must determine why Zoe is being hunted and uncover the truth before time runs out. Without power, without law enforcement assistance, and facing rumors of local corruption, Rex must survive alone in a world where trust has vanished and danger surrounds him on all sides.
