EMP No Grid No Warning
by William Stone
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.8 #ad
Overnight, an EMP sent America back to the age before electricity. Her promise didn’t age a day.
Years ago, they took away her wings. Yesterday, the EMP took down her plane. Grace appeared to be just another grandmother on a crowded flight. Then the EMP killed the engines, and the pilots didn’t make it. Now the only survivor who knows how to keep a child alive in a frozen mountain range is an old woman the world forgot was ever a pilot at all.
There’s no rescue coming. No working grid. No government riding in to help. Nothing but miles of lawless, empty country between a stranded child and her family’s front gate. And one woman who’s done being forgotten.
