At 8:58 PM on a Friday in September, Patrick Mitchell is standing on his deck above a Utah valley, watching the town he has loved his whole life go dark from the east side to the west in less than half a second.
Every car dies. Every phone dies. The sky burns green.
Inside his house are seven people who have no idea what is coming: his wife Shawna, his difficult nineteen year old son Alex, and five young guests who drove up that afternoon for one ordinary night in the mountains. Among them is twenty-one year old Maria Padman, who will be forced to become something she never wanted to be before the sun comes up.
By 2:30 AM there is a man on the porch demanding their food.
By dawn there is a body under a tarp, a boy chained to a tree, and thirteen armed men coming across the open field.
Told hour by hour across a single night, EMP: The Long Black Night is a relentless, character driven survival thriller about what happens when the grid dies and there is no one left to call. It is about loyalty, jealousy, grief, and the terrible speed at which good people run out of good options.
The lights went out at 8:58.
Not everyone in that house lives to see nine in the morning.
