About this listen

From the acclaimed author of America Falls comes Blackout Nation—a gripping EMP survival serial that delivers unrelenting, edge of the seat action over five episodes.

When the lights go out for good, survival is all that matters.

Sarah Mitchell thought she'd left combat behind in Afghanistan. Now an ER nurse and guardian to her young nephew, she's rebuilt a quiet life far from the disasters and split-second decisions of her military past. But when an EMP pulse fries every electronic device in the city, Sarah's peaceful world crumbles in an instant.

As civilization breaks down around her, Sarah must navigate four miles of increasingly dangerous streets to reach her nephew. But she's not the only one moving through the chaos. A ruthless gang leader sees opportunity in the darkness and begins to seize control—taking what he wants, crushing anyone who resists.

Her mysterious neighbor, Jake Cooper, reveals he's been preparing for this moment for years. While others panic, he takes action, securing his home and implementing plans. But survival isn’t just about stockpiles and weapons—it's about knowing who to trust, and when to fight.

With time running out and violence spreading like wildfire, Sarah must decide if she can trust Jake and what lines she's willing to cross to protect the people she loves.
