Veteran, outlaw, lawman, and now hired gun - John Nichols’ life has had many twists and turns. After avenging the murder of his wife and daughter, John is left without a purpose. Then along comes a wealthy New York banker. He and his son are headed to Deadwood to prospect gold and need protection. Not needing to think twice, John takes the position, but it proves to be more than he could have imagined. Living up to its reputation, Deadwood is a lawless town where deception, intrigue, and murder happen daily. It’s a place where few find riches but more lose them, a place of blood and gold.

After fighting for a losing cause, Corporal John Nichols returns from the long and bitter Civil War to his farm in Georgia, only to discover that everything he thought he'd been fighting for has been taken from him. With no home or family, he heads west in pursuit of revenge. There, he will not only find purpose in killing the men responsible for destroying his life but will also uncover that justice is not as simple as life or death.

In the early morning, a spectacular attack against the United States was carried out. It was the fulfillment of a grand conspiracy that would leave millions dead and many more millions on a trajectory toward a fate worse than death. The super-EMP would destroy the power grid and leave most electrical devices useless.

Gordon Van Zandt thought he was saving his family when they left the chaos of San Diego following the super-EMP attack, but he was horribly wrong. The long road towards safety in Idaho ended tragically when he and his son, Hunter, were captured by a madman. He managed to survive but not without suffering the loss of his son. Angry, distraught and vengeful, he embarks on a journey that will take him away from the rest of his family in search of justice and retribution.

Lexi has survived much since a super-EMP ended the world she knew. She emerged from the ashes a determined foe of those who prey upon the weak, but now she's the one needing a protector. Nine months pregnant and alone, she is a wanderer in desperate need of a home to raise and eventually train her child for the world they are being born into. Her one main obstacle is that she's created many enemies who wish to see her dead and will do anything to seek their revenge upon her.

Die Angriffe zu überleben bedeutet mehr, als sie sich jemals hätten vorstellen können ... Monate, nachdem ein Super-EMP-Angriff die Vereinigten Staaten verwüstete, ist das Land nicht mehr wiederzuerkennen. Alle großen Städte sind in der Hand von marodierenden Banden, während die Überlebenden Hungers sterben und die Regierung machtlos gegen die Gesetzlosigkeit im Land ist. Diejenigen, die glaubten, auf das Ende vorbereitet zu sein, müssen nun feststellen, dass sie niemals vorbereitet waren.

Nur sechs Wochen sind vergangen, seit ein Super-EMP-Angriff die Vereinigten Staaten verwüstete, aber schon hat sich das Leben dramatisch verändert. Das Land hat sich zu einem Ödland mit hungernden Menschen und marodierenden Banden gewandelt. Millionen Menschen sind gestorben und weitere Millionen leiden … ein Ende ist nicht absehbar. Nach den chaotischen Wochen des Zusammenbruchs befinden sich Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Cruz und Barone nun auf der Suche nach einer neuen Heimat - einem Ort, der Sicherheit und Zukunft verspricht.

Für Gordon Van Zandt waren Treue und Pflicht gegenüber dem Vaterland so selbstverständlich, dass er direkt nach 9/11 das College hinschmiss und ins Marine Corps eintrat. Doch diesen jugendlichen Idealismus ließ er bald in einer kriegsgeschändeten Stadt im Irak zurück. Zehn Jahre später kämpft er noch immer mit den Geistern seiner Vergangenheit, als er und seine Familie plötzlich einer neuen Realität gegenüber stehen.
