An Unkind Winter Darrell Maloney

Publisher Marketing: Dave and Sarah Anna Speer had been preparing for Armageddon for years. They thought they'd covered all the bases, and had planned for everything. It never occurred to them that the single thing they had no control over was the timing. Sarah was on an airplane with her young daughters when solar storms bombarded the earth with electromagnetic pulses. Everything powered by electricity or batteries was instantly shorted out and would never work again. Dave was suddenly alone. He was also unsure whether his family was dead or alive. He assumed that the airplane stopped working and plunged from the sky. But it was scheduled to land in Kansas City at almost the exact time everything stopped working. Had they landed in time? Was it possible they survived? This is the story of a man facing Armageddon alone. It chronicles the things he does to survive in a newly vicious world. It also includes Dave's desperate and poignant diary entries to his wife. Just in case she did survive, and somehow makes it back to him to find he didn't make it himself. In this sequel, Dave's saga continues. He struggles to survive the worst winter on record, stuck in a house with a dead man, sitting frozen solid on his kitchen floor. He is haunted by the unknown: whether his family is still alive, and where they might be. He also has serious doubts about his mental health, and suspects he might be going insane. Dave is desperate to find answers to his questions, and to find his family and bring them home. To that end, he starts making plans for a thousand mile journey into the unknown. To the place his family was headed at the time of the blackout. But first, he has to survive an Unkind Winter... From the author of last year's best sellers "Final Dawn" and "Countdown to Armageddon" comes a new tale of one man's journey through hell... alone.
