OverviewBeing on a space station during a worldwide EMP event seemed like the perfect escape. But what launches up, must crash down.Sam Stevens wasn't even a real astronaut. He was a schoolteacher fresh out of college. Punched into orbit as a glorified PR stunt. Now, three years after the EMP, he's the last one left alive up there. His choice is simple: die alone in space or return to a dark planet. It isn't totally dark, however. There is one pocket of light deep in the pines of Alabama. A tenacious general has preserved the last square mile of Old America behind a wall of shipping containers, machine guns, and the grit of his dwindling fighting force. The town gives Sam a postage stamp-sized landing target... Bindi Dauntless is a woman caught between the light and darkness of the powerless world. She craves the security of those bright walls but knows they can't stay lit forever. In the meantime, she must make deals on both sides. Her plans are ruined when a NASA reentry vehicle almost falls on top of her. Sam and Bindi both see opportunity in the other. For him, she has the skills he needs to survive in a strange, new world. For her, he might be the ticket to a place far away from the tangle of contracts she's negotiated to stay alive. However, no one can truly prepare for what's out there. Assassins. United Nations ""relief"" forces. Militias from Hell. And, worst of all, the source of the EMP keeps repeating. If they can work together to keep each other alive, and if they can find the cause of the EMP, they might keep the world from teetering that last inch over the brink. If not, the lights might never come on again. NOTE: As an author, I want you to know what you are purchasing. EMPIRE is a standalone book with the possibility of a follow up. This book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but it does leave some threads unresolved, so it keeps open the possibility of future books. Call it a standalone with options for more...If it gets enough reviews, there WILL be more!
