Resilience: Into the Dark (Pulse Effex #2)

Now that an EMP has sent the United States into a seeming Dark Age, society has fallen apart at the seams. Andrea, Lexie and Sarah must survive despite the loss of technology, electricity, and worse, the threats of marauders and lawless opportunists. The appearance of FEMA camps might be reassuring except that the military seem determined to force civilians to enter them. Is the US government also a threat?

Those who've survived the first months since the PULSE are either nearing the end of their resources, their wits, or their endurance. Only the few with enough RESILIENCE in heart or mind can continue to live without succumbing to the lure of the government camps or other dangers.

Andrea and her family have the Martins and a growing community of survivors to help them get by.
Lexie longs for the day when she and Blake can get married and have a family. That is, if they live long enough.
Sarah and Richard hope to reach Aunt Susan's in Indiana; but what must they become to get there alive? And what will they find when they do?

Can the US recover from the loss of technology before everyone and everything is destroyed?
