The post-apocalyptic survival adventure begins anew as Hobe sails for Florida in search of new opportunities after leaving the Trade Rendezvous. He has a plan that has not been revealed to his sailboats crew yet to hopefully put them into some new profitable adventures. Everything seems to be going well despite the hurricane that blew them off course and sent them towards an oyster fishing village in a far bay until pirates were spotted on the horizon. Follow our stalwart heroes as they brave the high seas five years after a Solar Storm has taken the electrical grid and economy down.

It was just supposed to be a small, friendly prepper group get-together for some fun in the sun at an Airbnb in Panama City, Florida. However, what it turned into was a mega disaster so large that the attendees, even with their survivalists’ mindsets, had difficulty fathoming its scope and coping with it. The electrical grid was shut down, with no communications and no return flights back home for many of the guests the host had invited. Space weather wasn’t the culprit, so what was impacting the technological world so decisively?

The grid is down and electric bikes are the transportation of choice for the coming apocalypse, but where do you find one in this deserted beach town? The prepper couple forages for food and other supplies in the looted-out vacation spot and lucks up on a restaurant supply truck. A small group of people still living at the marina seems to hold the key to reforming society but closely guards its secrets and turf against strangers.  

North Korea has a plan to take down the United States and deceive the whole world in the process of just how they are going to go about it. A secret military plan code named “Smoking Skillet” is to be put into play to crush America and its allies' infrastructure and cause societal and economic collapse. A devilishly plausible scheme with lots of deniability built in is concocted by an alliance between the would be atomic powers of Iran and North Korea that ends up causing a nuclear exchange and lights out for much of the modern world. 

Terrorists have taken down America's electrical grid in the simplest way possible, they shot holes in it. The same as they had previously tried on the Silicon Valley in 2013 that most people in the know said was a trial run to destroy America. The attack, which nearly took out power to parts of Silicon Valley, has been called "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" by the nation's top electrical utility regulator. The destruction continues and mayhem ensues as hackers use cyber-attacks to further destabilize the world and take down the nation's infrastructure. 

A group of stranded preppers are trying to survive the aftermath of a cyber and terrorist bomb offensive on America's electrical grid by homesteading on an old sharecropper plantation. The big cities are in ruins as societal collapse and starvation set in. The government is attempting to save some of the populace by setting up FEMA camps and enforcing martial law but they are soon overwhelmed by the sheer size of the disaster and a world without law begins.

After a cyber attack and wide spread sabotage by terrorists took out the United States' electrical grid, one group of survivors found themselves far worse off than the rest of the populace. This group found themselves stranded on an island with no way to cross the flooded river and soggy lands surrounding them as starvation and desperation began. The one thing they had going for them, though, to get themselves through this ordeal, was that they were preppers - people who prepare for disasters as a lifestyle or hobby.

I was contacted by a number of readers that wanted to inquire about what had happened to their favorite characters that appeared in the Prepper Trilogies. I under took the task of answering this as a thank you to my dedicated readers by beginning a series of Novelette so that the characters could give voice to their own experiences from their differing personal perspectives.

Book two of the Prepper trilogy finds the disaster planner and emergency manager Dave faced with the choice of bugging out with his cohort of friends and family as he watches the societal collapse and demise of civilization around him after an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) solar storm has taken out the grid. A post-apocalyptic fiction series that takes you through the trials and tribulations of survival after the predicted NASA 2012 solar super storm unravels the lives and lifestyles of a group of modern day survivalists.

This audiobook tells a tale about survivors of a Nuclear EMP watching the world around them spin out of control. The grocery store shelves are empty with no resupply in sight. Societal breakdown and food riots are inevitable. The preppers have to now rely upon all their wisdom and supplies alone in order to survive possibly a few more days or meager months. Force multipliers in the form of state sponsored and radical terrorist acts, cyber warfare and the release of a militarized virulent strain of Smallpox accompany the attacks on the western world as the global economy and environment begin their death throes.

The need to relieve stress and anxiety, for physical and mental health during a disaster, can be as simple as sharing some survival information, and a glorified cup of tea, it seems. The stranded Preppers from a nationwide electrical grid down, and communication breakdown event occurring back at the Hideaway, would soon benefit from this wisdom, as Farley continues to supply them with emergency provisions. That is, if he can ever get back to them! Cyber war, pandemics, and world-wide unrest - survival was the only thing on their Prepper minds now, as society began its collapse.
