Can you imagine life on earth without
electricity? Wednesday the twenty third of November, two thousand and sixteen was
the day the lights went out in Phoenix
Arizona. At a stroke it plunged
the city into chaos. If that was not enough, illogically, cell phones also
ceased to function, but that was only the beginning of the unfolding mystery.
Initially it was assumed that the loss of power was a local problem and
affecting only Phoenix.
It would be quiet so time before anyone would realise just how widespread the
loss of power was.
Paul Sanderson, the Director of Phoenix
Power, the sole suppliers of electricity for Phoenix had sent his engineers out
find an explanation for the power outage, nothing was either damaged, or
broken. He then sent six of his engineers further afield in an attempt to
discover the reasons for the power failure and how widespread the power failure
extended.
The news they came back with was disturbing
in the extreme. The entire state of Arizona
was without power and worse, so was Texas
and Colorado.
That was not what Paul Sanderson found worrying, no, it was something far more
illogical, nothing was either broken or damaged.
After discussing the situation with his
colleagues it was decided to assemble a convoy. He, together with three of his
engineers would search further afield for an explanation to the inexplicable
phenomenon.
The convoy began to encounter, or pass
increasing numbers of heavily armed military convoys. The soldiers they saw
were grim faced and the convoys seemed to be heading every which way. What the
hell was happening?
It wasn't long before Paul and his team
gave up looking for a tangible explanation. Their mission changed and became
increasingly perilous; they became a group of survivalists, their destination Florida.
As they travelled south they encountered
increasing military activity. While they had no clue as to what the Army's
mission was, it became increasingly apparent that it was nothing good. In many
ways the small group of power workers knew more than most. They realised that
they had a moral obligation to share their knowledge and as a consequence found
themselves caught up in what was fast becoming a civil war.
Book one in this series covers their
increasingly perilous journey south and the gradual breakdown of civilisation
across the southern states of America.
