Age of Collapse

When an EMP collapses society…rabid packs of ex-convicts and gangs ravage an off-grid Texas……turning Houston into hunting grounds. Double-crossed and incarcerated for armed robbery, Alex longs for a second chance. And revenge. Then the EMP downs the Texas grid, providing Alex an opportunity. Despite the buildings aflame, bullets flying, and absolute barbaric conditions, Alex seizes the chance to track down the traitor who crossed him and find Wendy—his daughter.

Nobody was sure who took down the power grid in Texas, but from the moment it happened, Alex knew it was his chance to escape. Four months into a four-year sentence for armed robbery, Alex had barely survived Huntsville Prison. Worried about Wendy and desperate to make things right with Vargas, the mobster his old partner, Trey, stole from, he needed to breakout.

Was this how the apocalypse ended for Alex? He never should have been in this mess, but Trey crossed the wrong man. Now Mr. Jackson, the leader of the thugs sent to get blood from a stone, had plans to drag him into the forest and put a bullet in his head. They couldn’t be reasoned with, so when there’s nothing to lose, one might as well go for a long shot. He attacked and caught Mr. Jackson’s men by surprise. If he was going to die, it would be this way, and not on his knees. Exhausted, bloodied, and very much alive, he bolted. Into the dense forest with one goal on his mind.

Between them and the Accountant...lies a gauntlet of roaming gangs. How will they make it to Houston? For Alex, he only has one move: Get the money from the Accountant and hope it’s enough to make things right with Vargas. There’s just one problem: The gangster’s men aren’t the only ones trying to kill him, Vee, and Ranger. Texas has become a wasteland where everyone is willing to kill to survive. Can Alex survive long enough to get to Wendy?

As society crumbles, the world divides between good and evil. The fallout from the EMP and cyber-attack that crippled Texas has ravaged the rest of the country. Alex and Vee must stay on the move, with the Accountant’s men being hot on their heels. And, on a lonely road back to Houston, Wendy survives through grit, determination, and a little luck - but she’s still not home free. Who can she trust, when everyone is out to save themselves? Houston is like a war zone. She’s going to need some help.

Alex was in bad shape. Just this side of dead, lying in a dumpster, but he couldn’t give up. Crawling out of the garbage, the first thing he noticed, beyond the pain, was that Vee was gone. He had only one option - to keep going. Out to the street he walked. All around there was only the otherworldly destruction of burned-out cars, broken windows, and empty streets. Houston had fallen further into chaos, brimming with violence and a population at each other’s throats.
