INTRODUCTION Electricity is the lifeblood of modern society, powering everything from homes and businesses to critical infrastructure. A complete electrical grid failure occurs when a widespread disruption interrupts the normal functioning of the power distribution system, leaving communities without access to electricity. Why Understanding Grid Down USA is important As an 80-year-old grandfather with a medical problem, a grid-down situation eliminates the possibility of me or you getting emergency medical attention. But it is worse than that as a grid-down occurrence takes us back to the ages of no electricity or the horse and buggy days. In this book, the Grid-Down lasts as much as a year. As you will learn that is a catastrophic event causing millions of lives here in the US to be lost. It is not the intent of this book to go into a major detailing of how the power grid works, but to its vulnerabilities. And eventually to its consequences.

Continues to follow a group of five people as they continue to survive the aftermath of an EMP, and begin rebuilding their lives.

Peter Bradshaw hates technology. He knows hes a throwback to a simpler time, and yet, he also knows he needs the technology he hates to follow his passion. Hes spent the last two decades studying ancient artifacts, specifically Stonehenge, the statues of Easter Island, and the Seven Wonders of the Worldbut most importantly, the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Hes just made an amazing discovery. He found a crystal with the capability of moving objects of great weight, which might explain how the pyramids were built. Hes headed back to America to share his findings, but once there, he realizes an eleven-foot-tall woman with ill intent is following him. Then, the entire worlds power grid suddenly fails. An unstoppable force of nature has wiped out all advanced technology in the blink of an eye. The world has simultaneously crashed. Is it possible that whatever Peter discovered in Egypt could reboot civilization? He needs the help of the mysterious woman whos on his tailbut is she willing to help, or will the Earth become a place of darkness and death?

America once a thriving and prosperous nation, now an empty decaying wasteland--everything changed in the blink of an eye.
