The United States political climate is prime for attack from enemies outside and within. <br/> Two of the world’s most dangerous “Axis of Evil,” Iran and North Korea, coordinate <br/> a nuclear missile attack designed to drive the United States to its knees. Embedded <br/> groups of coordinated and well-trained terrorist leaders lie waiting throughout the United <br/> States. One group of radicals attacks Washington, DC with a truck bomb to start the war. <br/> Orders sent to other terrorist leaders around the country start the assembly of small armies of <br/> haters, who aim to destroy what remains after the carnage of the nuclear attacks. <br/> A critically injured president lies in a coma. Many high-ranking politicians are dead or <br/> missing. A high-altitude EMP (electromagnetic pulse) detonated successfully over Northern <br/> California destroys the power grids, electronics, and modern automobiles throughout the <br/> Western United States. <br/> Secret plans created in advance by Homeland Security are the only salvation for the <br/> devastated, desperate, and stranded population. The attack activates the plan known as <br/> the Macro Event (Mass Casualty Relocation Operation). The extensive, well-thought-out <br/> MACRO Event plans must now deal with millions of stranded, hungry, and angry Americans <br/> now living in darkness. <br/> Lee Andrew Garrett awakes in his hotel room in Las Vegas, finding the twenty-four-hour <br/> city of light dark and panic-stricken. Thousands of locals and tourists have few choices except <br/> to fight for survival. Lee Garrett’s obsession with Doomsday preparation is now his salvation. <br/> He quickly gathers his supplies and makes a dangerous trek out of Sin City. <br/> Jake Rodriguez is winning big when the lights go out. The army soldier on leave from <br/> Fort Irwin California, also knows getting out of Vegas is paramount. Not as well-prepared, <br/> but a soldier, Jake also finds danger as he moves quickly west toward his base in the Mohave <br/> Desert. Surrounded by armed crazies taking advantage of the devastation and confusion, Jake <br/> finds himself facing sure death. Lee Garrett becomes his unlikely but lucky salvation. <br/> United, the two men continue their escape from Vegas into the desert toward the remote <br/> army base. They arrive at Fort Irwin, where they learn just how bad the attack has been. Spread <br/> way too thin, the government must somehow find ways to deal with the millions of expected <br/> refugees. Lee Garrett’s knowledge of his hometown makes him a valuable asset to one of the <br/> many small teams needed for control of the choke points out of Los Angeles. The small town <br/> of Agua Dulce lies directly in the path of desperate people trying to flee the chaos of the big <br/> city. Lee agrees to join a small force of soldiers. <br/> Flown to Agua Dulce on military choppers, Lee and Jake build a small but capable force <br/> of professionals and volunteers. The soldiers, police, and volunteers band together, helping <br/> the needy and fighting those who wreak havoc. <br/> The situation goes from difficult to worse when a major terrorist cell heads toward Agua <br/> Dulce, setting the stage for a major battle between good and evil. <br/> The story does not end with this first book.
