Blackout is an upmarket literary fiction post-apocalyptic thriller that thrusts readers into the U.S. devastated by an EMP attack, where the collapse of the prison and healthcare systems has thrown society into chaos. At the heart of this struggle is Asher, a man haunted by his wartime PTSD and a crippling fear of becoming the ruthless soldier he once was. The blackout's aftermath ignites an inner battle within Asher, as he wrestles with the violent urges that resurface in a lawless world, forcing him to question his morality and humanity.

On the opposite end is Malachi, a cunning and manipulative former gang leader who thrived in the violent underbelly society. Having clawed his way to the top by betraying and murdering his rivals, Malachi is unleashed when the prison system crumbles, allowing him to reclaim power in a world with no law to stop him. His drive for control and dominance contrasts Asher's struggle to resist the darkness, creating a tense psychological battle between the two.

The blackout's devastation is evident: hospitals, once bastions of hope, now lie abandoned, and the sick are left to fend for themselves. With no functioning healthcare system, diseases spread unchecked, and survival is a daily fight. In this landscape of collapsed infrastructure, the group's journey toward safety becomes a test of resilience as they navigate not only physical threats but also the crumbling remnants of human decency.

Blackout explores the fragile nature of morality in the absence of order, the mental toll of trauma, and the stark choices people must make when the structures that once protected them disappear. In this gripping narrative, Asher must confront the darkness within himself as he faces off against a man who embodies everything he fears becoming.
