Broken World - Paperback

No power. No law. No safety net. Civilization is gone.

Dr. Laurel Rivera is attempting to save a patient in the ER when the world goes dark. One moment, she's shocking his heart and the next, he's coding in front of her. The hospital plunges into chaos, and outside, society unravels. She refuses to abandon her patients-especially her gravely ill mother. Running might mean survival. Staying means certain danger. Laurel makes her choice: she will fight.

Bear Petersen has nothing left to fight for. War and PTSD stripped him of his career, his pride, and the only woman he ever loved-Laurel. But when the EMP shatters what's left of the old world, purpose slams back into his life. Laurel is out there, hundreds of miles away from his off-grid cabin in the woods, and she needs him.

To get to her, he'll have to cross highways littered with dead cars, face survivors turned predators, and endure a wilderness that shows no mercy. Every mile is a battle. Every stranger could be an enemy.

But for the first time since the war, Bear knows exactly what he's fighting for.

And nothing will stop him.

Expanded and republished in January 2026, Broken World is more compelling than ever-don't miss this thrilling tale of a post-apocalyptic society.
