Description

When the power grid fails and civilization begins to fracture, Captain Jordan Hughes finds himself stranded aboard a ship carrying a priceless reserve of fuel—and suddenly responsible for far more than his own survival. As violence spreads ashore and the remnants of the federal government grow increasingly corrupt, Hughes must navigate unrest within his crew while confronting gangs, desperate civilians, escaped criminals, and ruthless warlords. Joining forces with sailors, farmers, preppers, former Coast Guardsmen, and dissident soldiers, he sets out to reunite families and preserve the resources needed to rebuild. Blending maritime adventure, survival fiction, and political dystopia, the novel explores leadership, loyalty, resilience, and the difficult choices required to restore society after its collapse.
