    Dave Cavanaugh, a silver haired outdoorsman, mountain hiker, and billionaire, dubbed the “Richard Branson of the Rockies,” sets in motion a plan to construct walled, gated communities across the country to preserve art, science, medicine, and religion, designed to be islands of calm in a sea of chaos. Much like Noah built an ark before the great flood, Dave intends to build a series of land-based arks before the country completely drowns in chaos. Arks of America. Vince Cavanaugh, Dave’s nephew, a gruff ex-Special Forces soldier, is urged to take an active role in the project. Liz Pendleton, a beautiful auburn haired actress from Kentucky now living in Hollywood, is one of the initial investors in the program. With alternating periods of violence and peace becoming the norm, eventually the periods of chaos get longer and don’t subside. Where will the violence strike next? Who will be caught up in it? Will Dave Cavanaugh’s grand plan be enough and in time?

    Cade finds himself in Utah when an EMP sets society back to the 1850's. He has to hike two hundred miles to reach his home in Idaho, and then the real work of bringing his family together will begin. He had spent his entire adult life in the military, yet was surprised at how quickly society unravels and how dangerous people become. Cade began his trek home within an hour of the event, yet had to defend himself against gang members intent on taking his supplies as soon as he started. It will take all of his training to survive encounters with others if he's going to make it home.

    He'd spent years learning to live in a minimalist and sustainable way. He'd changed careers, and he had a plan. A plan just in case the worst happened. Unfortunately for Jack, he was far from home when disaster struck, when the end of the world as we know it came. Now he is on foot, with winter coming. Jack and his two dogs will need to trek over 750 miles to get home. How do you cope when almost everything you depend upon is lost? When everything you've come to rely on stops working. There was no way to predict a Solar Storm. There was no way to predict its enormous magnitude or the damage that it would do. What do you do when you can't call for help? When transportation stops and the lights go out? How hungry do you have to be to steal, to kill? What will people do when there is no law? Who can you trust? Jack would most likely run out of food before he got home, even if nothing went wrong. But something had already gone wrong, and it was just the beginning. He had choices to make and no information. Every decision was a trade-off. Would he survive if he chose wrong? Jack was about to find out.
