The electrical grid collapsed, communication networks were damaged, critical bridges and dams were destroyed, and major fuel refineries have gone up in massive fiery clouds. Now, with an Executive Order halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament. He's trapped hundreds of miles away from his family, and with thousands of stranded travelers and scarce law enforcement across the country, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of a civilized society no longer apply. Luckily, Jim isn't just a regular guy. He's a prepper, with years of planning under his belt. But as he puts his preparation knowledge to the test, he soon finds that training for a societal collapse is very different from actually experiencing one.

Even if it means rising to unimaginable levels of violence. Downloaded over one hundred thousand times, The Borrowed World is a book that readers find themselves coming back to over and over again.
