The Last People Who Knew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995613008)

The Last People Who Knew is a technically grounded work of fiction set inside a large electric utility under pressure.

MidAtlantic Energy faces tightening budgets, rising turnover, and a gradual loss of experience. Over time, small decisions begin to accumulate. Systems continue to operate, but resilience is quietly reduced.

Most do not see the change. A few do.

Callie McGraw and Dale Morrison, two power plant managers within the system, recognize the pattern early. Their efforts to slow the decline are met with resistance, and the cost to their careers grows.

When a major weather event strikes, the system is no longer what it once was.

What follows is not a sudden failure, but the result of conditions that have been forming for years.
