Max Sharpe spent two years preparing for this exact moment. He read the reports nobody else bothered to read. He understood, better than almost anyone alive, what happens to a modern nation the instant the grid dies.
None of it matters now.
Because when the catastrophe he studied for so long finally arrives, Max is not in his fortified home with his careful plans. He is standing in a store eleven miles away, caught flat-footed in the open, watching a normal afternoon come apart at the seams.
And the clock he can no longer see is already counting down.
His brother is on the other side of a city that is dying by the hour. Between them lies a landscape that grows more dangerous with every mile, where the rules that held the world together are dissolving in real time, and where the people Max meets will each force him to answer the same brutal question.
What are you willing to become to survive?
Some he will fear. Some he will fight. A few will surprise him with their goodness, and a few with the other thing. But the deeper Max travels into the dark, the more he realizes that everything he thought would save him was wrong, and that the only thing standing between his family and the end is a choice he never trained for.
A choice that has nothing to do with the contents of his garage, and everything to do with the kind of man he decides to be.
