Perfect for you if...

You enjoy survival stories where the real threat isn't nature but other people, and want character-driven tension that builds slowly and relentlessly.
You're drawn to protagonists who are competent in their field but utterly unprepared for what's actually coming, watching them adapt in real time.
You appreciate found-family dynamics and the moral questions that emerge when civilisation collapses and stakes become personal.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action from page one. This is a careful, contemplative thriller that builds dread through relationships and circumstances rather than gunfire.
You prefer either pure survival-versus-nature stories or pure zombie/creature horror. This blends both with human conflict at the centre.
You need a lot of technical detail about how EMPs work or want a romance to be the primary plot thread. The focus stays on the journey and the group dynamic.

About this book

When an EMP disables the power grid, doctor Anna Hastings—an experienced aid worker from conflict zones—must adapt to practicing medicine in a world without technology. As planes fall from the sky in the chaos, she meets Mark Ryan and his seven-year-old daughter Lily at an airport. Mark persuades Anna to join them on a journey to their family cabin in remote Maine, where he hopes to reunite with his wife and find safety as society collapses. Traveling across a thousand miles of backcountry trails, the three face daily struggles against nature. However, their greatest danger may come from other survivors. As Anna becomes closer to Mark and Lily, she commits to protecting them. She must navigate whether she can maintain her humanity in a world descending into chaos.
