EMP Grid Down: Raiders From the North: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187767410)

The war against Frances is over. The peace lasted three days.

Then a thousand riders came down out of the north.

Holt McClandrey broke one army with a dozen guns and a good piece of ground. Now a scarred war-leader named Zach White stands at his gate with a force ten times the size, and an offer that isn't really an offer at all. There's something dug into the high mountains. Something that turned out the lights on purpose. And Holt knows that country better than any man alive.

He said he was done fighting. The mountain didn't care.

What waits in the high peaks is worse than any raider, any drifter, any grieving widow with a printing press. It doesn't charge walls. It doesn't send waves of frightened men to die. It watches. It sees everything, from everywhere, all the time. And it has learned exactly how Holt McClandrey wins so that it can give him a fight he cannot survive.

To reach it, Holt and Bear must climb through kill-boxes and ambushes, past a fortified town holding its own against the dark, and into a mountain full of the calm, patient people who murdered the world. Bear will have to walk a road no machine can follow. Holt will have to make choices no father should ever face.

Because the thing in the mountain knows his name. It knows his ranch. And it knows the name of his youngest daughter.
