Mountain Refuge - Hardcover

In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, Todd Blodsey has braced himself for the impending chaos within the isolation of his remote Colorado property, Overlook Ridge. With a keen eye for preparation and fueled by his trusty German Shepherds, Bear and Buttercup, Todd lives by the mantra of self-sufficiency. As devastating natural disasters, civil unrest, and economic turmoil spill across the world, Todd's preparedness is put to the test. When unsuspected guests arrive, blending tales of harrowing escapes with deadly encounters, Todd finds himself caught between his instinct for isolation and the growing need for community in a world rapidly disintegrating.

When Todd's best friend Jason arrives with his family, they must make hard decisions on protection and survival. What begins as a meticulously crafted refuge soon becomes a battleground of moral dilemmas and survival instincts. As threats from desperate outsiders and marauding gangs escalate, Todd's and Jason's lives are changed forever as they adapt to an uncertain reality. Will Todd maintain the sanctuary he's built, or will the darkness of a crumbling society invade his last bastion of hope? This gripping tale of survival and resilience explores how the human spirit can endure in the face of overwhelming odds.
