The lights have been out for a year. Civilization is gone. The wilderness is reclaiming the Rockies.
Joshua Reyes has kept his twelve year old daughter, Emmy, alive through preparation, discipline, and hard earned survival skills. Hidden deep in the Tetons, their remote homestead has become a rare sanctuary in a world where every day is a fight to stay alive.
Everything changes when a routine trip for huckleberries ends in tragedy. Forced to kill a mother mountain lion to save Emmy's life, Joshua and his daughter discover an orphaned cub that has no chance of surviving alone. Against every instinct, they make a decision that will change their lives forever.
As the cub, Shadow, grows into a powerful predator, he becomes both their greatest ally and their greatest challenge. But an even deadlier threat is stalking the mountains. An enormous man eating grizzly, the same beast that killed Emmy's mother years earlier, has returned to the valley. Worse still, desperate survivors are beginning to emerge from the collapsing world beyond the wilderness, bringing violence, greed, and chaos to Joshua's doorstep.
Packed with gripping survival action, unforgettable wilderness adventure, realistic preparedness, and heart, The Pulse and the Puma is a thrilling post apocalyptic tale about family, sacrifice, and the extraordinary bond that can form between humans and the wild.
