Publisher's Summary

September 11, 2001. 8:46 am, EST. Oz watches as a plane flies and explodes in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:03 am EST, Oz and his team watch as a second plane flies and explodes in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. The United States is forever changed.

Within months after living through the frightening aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Oz and his wife Nicki vowed to never be caught off guard by life’s disastrous events. 

Together, they developed a deep understanding of gardening, food preservation, water purification and storage methods, security procedures, firearms training, and the importance of community. The more they learned, the less dependent they became on the grid, box stores, utility companies, grocery stores, and gas stations. 

458 Miles and 24 Days tells the story of Oz and his family in the days immediately following a man-made electromagnetic pulse terrorist attack that cripples the United States’s power grid.

Oz is separated from his family and must begin the journey of traveling 458 miles to reach them. Along the way, he learns that his responsibilities lie well beyond his own and that others unknowingly become dependent upon him. Meanwhile, Nicki must learn to survive and protect the family in a crumbling world without him.

This new world is one of darkness, survival, perseverance, and adaptability, but also one that proves the importance of family. They had prepared, but would their skills and training be enough to unite them and see them through this disaster?
