When a geomagnetic storm results from a solar flare and coronal mass ejection the question isn't how did it happen, but how do you now survive? In a world without electricity, water, constant food sources, or even reliable shelter...how do you live? This is the question posed to a young man who finds himself stuck 700 miles from home. The best idea is to make his way there...or is it? Along the way he will encounter roving gangs of civil war reenactors, a church leading the way to rapture, cannibals, casinos powered by the debts of their customers, and the most dangerous of them all: Boy Scouts. James P Hassell is back at it with a cutting ability to throw our world into chaos and in the process expose the dark secrets of humanity that no one wants to face. His unflinching style in examining the darkest recesses of humanity is as disturbing as it is enlightening.
