Andrea, Lexie and Sarah, high school friends, are ordinary teens until the day the world goes dark. In the dead of winter, an EMP takes down the grid. Without technology, and no help coming, they and their families must struggle to survive. Andrea's upscale lifestyle has not prepared her family for disaster. Lexie's farm family is better off, but for how long? Sarah's dad never makes it home, and their apartment on the 10th floor is no refuge from new dangers. As society collapses further and further into anarchy, the girls and their loved ones must find safe places before starvation sets in. But with ruthless gangs roaming the streets, and danger mounting by the day, can they ever reunite and keep hope alive.

Andrea, Lexie and Sarah are just ordinary teens until a mysterious event shuts down all technology. In the dead of winter, there's no heat, no internet, no cell phones--not even a working car.
In this chilling Christian YA tale, most of the population doesn't survive. Pitting faith and grit against a world without power, the girls and their families must beat the odds. But can they find the strength to survive when society collapses and technology fails?
READERS SAY:
CHILLING DYSTOPIAN NOVEL Stories like this one get me very excited for today's young adult reader. DEENA PETERSON, Blogger, Reviewer
REALLY ENJOYED IT! "Really enjoyed PULSE! It's a unique twist to the post-apocalyptic genre. Burkard does a fantastic job depicting what life might be like for those that are prepared--and those that are anything but. (If you wonder why some people bother "prepping" read this book!) I also enjoyed the strong emphasis on faith and how focused on Christ some of the characters were." Chris Ray, PreparedChristian.NET
HEART POUNDING! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! My heart pounded at the first sight of the marauding gang and didn't stop till...! (spoiler). Holy cow, guess I better invest in a rifle! Great book. (I just finished reading it at 1:30am!) Christine K., Reader

HAD MY WIFE READ IT “Just finished the book and had my wife read it as well. Definitely a page turner to pick up as soon as you can! Characters are really well developed and draw you into the story. Some might classify it as ‘prepper fiction.’ We just classify it as a good story.” Brian B., The SouthernPreppers.com
RIVETING! L.R. Burkard's PULSE is a riveting story of the effects of an EMP in the U.S. Chock-full of clever and ingenious ways of dealing with the disaster, blended with loss and hope, PULSE is full of surprises...
