Paperback. THEY DIDN'T NEED TO WIN A WAR OF BULLETS. THEY JUST NEEDED TO TURN OFF OUR LIGHTS.When a coordinated electromagnetic pulse kills the American power grid on an October evening, fire captain and paramedic Jacob Rome is on shift and thirty miles from home. No warning. No explanation. Just silence where the hum of civilization used to be. His wife Olivia, an ER nurse, is already counting water jugs before he makes it back to Fall Creek.Within hours, the rules change. Within days, the food stops moving. Within weeks, the people who couldn't adapt start arriving at the fences of those who could.What saves them isn't one family. It's a neighborhood. The Romes and the families around them on ten acres of timber and creek-fed land in Oregon's Cascade foothills do the only thing that makes sense: they hold what they have and build what they need. A well. A garden. A gate. A perimeter. Nathan plants the rows. Jeff keeps the engines turning. Caleb finds a signal in the static. Karen builds a network no one can jam. Olivia runs triage in a barn with a scalpel and a memory. They become the Pocket, a name earned through a winter of rationing, armed standoffs, and the math of calories against mouths.But survival draws attention. Every defended wall advertises what's behind it, and the Pocket becomes visible to people who have stopped asking and started taking.As spring replaces the starvation gap and the garden produces faster than they can preserve, the neighborhood faces a harder question than how to stay alive. Reports filter in from the coast: ships on the horizon. Foreign ships. A coalition of displaced nations with nowhere left to go has crossed the Pacific, and what's coming ashore in Oregon isn't a raiding party. It's a migration. Armed, organized, and enormous.The Pocket was built to survive a crisis. Now it has to survive what comes after.The EMP wasn't the end of America. It was the opening move.The Pocket is the first book in the Western Eclipse series, a post-EMP survival thriller set in rural Oregon, where the distance between neighbors is measured in trust and the cost of holding a line is counted in the people you become. A neighborhood in rural Oregon bands together to survive after an EMP kills the grid. But staying alive draws attention, and what's coming from across the Pacific is bigger than anything they built the walls for. This item is printed on demand.

THEY DIDN'T NEED TO WIN A WAR OF BULLETS. THEY JUST NEEDED TO TURN OFF OUR LIGHTS.
When a coordinated electromagnetic pulse kills the American power grid on an October evening, fire captain and paramedic Jacob Rome is on shift and thirty miles from home. No warning. No explanation. Just silence where the hum of civilization used to be. His wife Olivia, an ER nurse, is already counting water jugs before he makes it back to Fall Creek.
Within hours, the rules change. Within days, the food stops moving. Within weeks, the people who couldn't adapt start arriving at the fences of those who could.
What saves them isn't one family. It's a neighborhood. The Romes and the families around them on ten acres of timber and creek-fed land in Oregon's Cascade foothills do the only thing that makes sense: they hold what they have and build what they need. A well. A garden. A gate. A perimeter. Nathan plants the rows. Jeff keeps the engines turning. Caleb finds a signal in the static. Karen builds a network no one can jam. Olivia runs triage in a barn with a scalpel and a memory. They become the Pocket, a name earned through a winter of rationing, armed standoffs, and the math of calories against mouths.
But survival draws attention. Every defended wall advertises what's behind it, and the Pocket becomes visible to people who have stopped asking and started taking.
As spring replaces the starvation gap and the garden produces faster than they can preserve, the neighborhood faces a harder question than how to stay alive. Reports filter in from the coast: ships on the horizon. Foreign ships. A coalition of displaced nations with nowhere left to go has crossed the Pacific, and what's coming ashore in Oregon isn't a raiding party. It's a migration. Armed, organized, and enormous.
The Pocket was built to survive a crisis. Now it has to survive what comes after.
The EMP wasn't the end of America. It was the opening move.
The Pocket is the first book in the Western Eclipse series, a post-EMP survival thriller set in rural Oregon, where the distance between neighbors is measured in trust and the cost of holding a line is counted in the people you become.
