Frank's problems grow exponentially with each sunrise. After the storm passes and the water recedes, every flooded house must be reoccupied by its owners, leaving endless opportunities for criminals to sneak in. Squatters appear everywhere. Chaos builds upon chaos. And, guess what? There are no police cars, fire trucks, or FEMA trailers coming to the rescue . . . The prize called survival will go to whatever subdivision can pull itself together first.

Adam döljer sin oerhörda nyfikenhet bakom artiga frågor, förstående nickar och en levande mimik. Efter två förrätter med vitt vin känner jag mig stärkt. Värmen plågar mig inte längre, även om jag känner att svetten fortsätter rinna fram under armarna. En droppe hittar vägen ned mellan mina bröst och kittlar mig på väg nedöver magen. Adam berättar en rolig historia. Jag skrattar. Hans lätta humör smittar.

Med ens kom han ihåg henne. Två-tre dagar tidigare hade hon lämnat in filmerna för framkallning. Han hade lagt märke till henne. Doften av henne. Utseendet. Hon hade haft en erotisk aura, trots att hon varit insvept i en fotsid regnkappa. Under en moderiktig sydväst i svart lack hade en aning av ett leende lekt mot honom. Men så var hon borta. Bara doften av henne hade hängt kvar en stund. Leon drog efter andan. Han minskade farten på maskinen så att han kunde studera varje bild noggrant. Kvinnan strippade framför honom.

"Du höjer upp ditt skrivbord så att vi båda kan stå upp och titta på kalkylbladet på skärmen. Du sträcker ut armen och pekar på en siffra. Du drar tillbaka armen igen. Din överarm rör vid min. Varenda rörelse gör att doften av din parfym tränger ännu längre in i min hjärna. Långsamt tar den kontroll över mina tankar, mina rörelser, mina stämband. Jag flyttar min fot en aning så att jag snuddar vid din höft. Men jag har ingen aning om vad ditt kalkylblad handlar om. Försiktigt kastar jag en blick mot Karin, som sitter vid skrivbordet mitt emot ditt.

Frank has been able to guide his neighborhood watch along a narrow path between order and chaos, but most of his problems have been caused by people. Now, as the clouds darken over the Gulf of Mexico, Mother Nature is going to take a crack at him. The arrival of the storm has only one benefit; Frank can travel the empty roads and get things done. Using his newest off-road vehicle, a Mercedes Unimog 416, he probes North Pointe to find some missing allies. He also discovers new enemies in a troubled trailer park.

After the EMP, the land rush is on. Food. Supplies. People. It will all be claimed. Frank survived one expedition out into the world, but he'll need to do it many more times if he wants his people to survive. He starts by searching for another of the rare working vehicles still on the road. More cars mean more supplies. Every trip out comes with risks. He soon finds abandoned military roadblocks, competing bands of survivors, and average people getting ever more desperate.

After the EMP, Frank controls one street. A whole city surrounds him. Frank gets his people through the critical first days of the EMP disaster, but he knows his next choice could determine their fate months or even years down the road . . . Search for help using their bikes? Ally with strangers two blocks over? Turtle up and hunker down for the long haul? He discovers another option inside his neighbor's garage: an ancient hot rod, immune to the effects of an EMP, is there for the taking.

One second was all it took to erase Frank's dreams. New home. New car. New retirement. Stolen by the EMP. It gets worse. Frank's neighbors failed to prepare at all, so it falls on him to keep them alive. He starts easy: stockpile food, water, and guns. Disaster lessons he'd picked up reading books about the end of the world.
