A nuclear bomb has destroyed Fairbanks, Alaska.

A wasteland stands between Chuck, his family, and civilization. They found themselves as victims of a war they never knew was happening.

What would you do if you lost power, water, and the protection of law enforcement, all in an instant … and what if you knew it was never coming back?

Retired Marine and survivalist Chuck, his wife, Madison, and their children are thrown from the modern world into a dystopian wasteland in the span of a few heartbeats. Now it’s up to Chuck to build a new life in a post-apocalyptic world that becomes more dangerous every day.

Survival always begs the question—it’s not enough to just exist. People need a reason to live. From desperation to more. Surviving isn’t just about survival.

“This novel takes the reader on a journey of survival that is unique and compelling. It pulled me in and made me feel like I was right there with the main character, experiencing survival without the actual pain and frustration that comes with it. The first-person presentation is just right for a survival novel like this. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and I believe you will too.”

Written by a twenty-year Marine Corps veteran and Alaskan transplant of more than a decade, read this frighteningly realistic story about the trials, terrors, and triumphs of the far north.
