The Siege of New Hampshire
How would ordinary people cope if the world suddenly went grid-down?
How would YOU cope?
Most preppers know that they’re not as fully prepared as they’d like. What if the crisis came and all you had was what you had right now?
This series is a different approach to post-apocalyptic fiction. My goal was to write a realistic tale about how ordinary people struggle to cope with a suddenly grid-down world. The protagonist is not a former Navy SEAL with super ninja skills, is not an expert marksman, nor automatically has the perfect answer or gadget for every predicament. Instead, he is just an average guy trying to cope. The men and women in this story have to make do with whatever they had and improvise for the rest.
Book 1: Plan B: Revised
The story begins with the mysterious grid-down event. No one knows why the grid failed, nor does the “why” matter much. The city is paralyzed. Everyone in Boston is trying to get home. Gridlock. Martin decides to walk the 50 miles to his home in New Hampshire. His plan did not account for Susan.
