The Pulse Effex Series

Only the resilient can survive—but at what cost? An EMP thrust the United States into a dark age, and now Andrea, Lexie, and Sarah must survive as society collapses and marauding gangs increase. FEMA camps might be reassuring except the military is forcing civilians into them! Those who've survived the first months are nearing the end of their resources or wits. Desperate choices must be made, no matter the cost. Can faith and hope survive?   "Gripping!"
