Zap -- a New Beginning for Survivors 2023-04-13

Nuclear devices have disabled electric power grids around the world. While governments struggle to identify who is responsible and rally allies for a united response, citizens struggle to find food and water and deal with gangs and terrorists roaming the streets with an appetite for looting and violence. The story alternates between what the Pentagon is doing to counter the attacks and what a small group of men and women are doing to survive.

Jack, the leader of the group, is a former CIA sniper. He was heading home to begin his retirement when nuclear devices zapped the world back to the dark ages. Jack’s twenty years as a sniper had honed his solitary, lone-wolf approach to life to a fine edge. But he finds himself drawn to these people. They need him. He needs them. And Linda has captured his heart and mind. His efforts to help these people become survivors, not victims, changes him and them forever. Their efforts to face a world they don't want and forge a world they do want challenges their unity, their values and their willingness to defend themselves with and without weapons.
