Synopsis

A gripping and hopeful story of survival, resilience, and finding what truly matters when our modern world vanishes.

In a single night, the world goes dark. Not just the lights, but everything.

A catastrophic solar storm fries the national grid, wiping out power, the Internet, and every modern system in its path. In the isolated town of Blackwood, the silence that follows is more terrifying than the storm itself.

For Alex, a programmer whose life is built in the cloud, the outage is a prison sentence. His job, his sanity, his very identity—all are trapped behind a dead screen. As society crumbles and desperation grows, his determination to reboot the past could cost him his future.

For Jaime, his creative partner, the chaos is a calling. She sees past the fear, finding beauty in the stillness and strength in their community. While Alex fights to restore the world they lost, she begins to build a new one, sparking an idea to bring their shattered town together.

But as resources dwindle and outside threats loom, their opposing visions of survival threaten to tear them apart. Blackwood stands at a crossroads: descend into the paranoia and violence consuming the cities, or forge a new path built on trust, art, and the forgotten power of human connection.

OUTAGE is a gripping and hopeful post-apocalyptic novel for anyone who has ever wondered if we're too connected to truly connect. Perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle's The Solar War, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and the hopeful resilience in The Watchers.
