Emp (Paperback)

Paperback. Two years ago, the lights went out.No warning. No explanation. Just a green flicker in the sky, and then every engine, every machine, every device in America went dead at once. Within a year, ninety percent of the population was gone. Starvation. Cold. Disease. And people doing to each other what desperate people always do.By a frozen lake in Minnesota, forty survivors have built something worth protecting. They call themselves The Remnant. And Liam Perry, twenty-two years old and underestimated by everyone in the camp, has spent two years being treated as nothing more than a strong back and a quiet mouth.Then the sickness comes.It burns through the camp like fire, and there is no cure, until a dying stranger stumbles out of the woods with a desperate final message. There is a treatment. Sealed in an abandoned lab beneath a market on the Seattle waterfront. Two thousand miles away, across a dead and lawless continent.With no one else willing to go, Liam sets out west with his only two friends. Isaiah, the gentle fixer who can repair anything. And Chloe, the fearless woman who reads land and water like no one else alive. Three overlooked young people against a broken world.The road will test everything they have. Wolf packs in the dark. Killers who rule the dead towns. Storms that freeze the marrow. A murderous trapper. Mountains that kill the strong. And through it all, one question they cannot escape: is hope a lie they are dying for, or the only thing that can carry them home?They will bleed for strangers. They will be saved by the kindness of the few good souls left. And they will learn that the strongest thing left in the world is not a rifle or a wall, but three people who refuse to let each other break.But the road takes as much as it gives.
