Neighborhood Watch 1
About This Book
Frank Douglas just bought his dream retirement. Then an EMP erased it in one second.
A new house. A new car. A new life — all gone when the lights went out.
Frank's neighbors are completely unprepared. Food runs out fast when the grocery stores don't reopen. Water stops flowing. And the power? Maybe tomorrow. Maybe never.
Frank isn't a prepper or a former special-ops soldier. He's a retired truck driver who happens to have read a lot of books about how the world ends. Now he's the most prepared person on his street, and his neighbors are looking to him to keep them alive.
Rallying a group of strangers to work together should be the hard part. But the streets are getting dangerous. And someone has to be ready for that.
One second. That's all it took for everything to change. What comes next will test whether Frank's reading was enough — or if he'll have to write the ending himself.
What Readers Are Saying
Good Story, Well Told -- a fresher and more nuanced post-apocalyptic tale
R.MacLean · November 19, 2023 · Amazon Review
“This book begins the story of a newly-retired businessman facing the aftermath of an EMP on his first day in a new neighborhood. His life as a trucker and business-owner, and his passion for post-apocalyptic fiction have prepared him well - or maybe not - for the growing chaos. Somehow, his not-always-expected approach to the dangers and challenges of the new environment are both fascinating and enlightening. As a voracious consumer of this genre, I found this book both refreshing and compelling.”
I'm hooked!
