by Pete Thorsen


  When a massive CME strikes the Earth it changes everything in this highly technological world we are living in. One young couple is surviving and is waiting for our government to bring things back to normal or at least to supply aid for all the stricken citizens. The young family suffers hardships while waiting for this government help to arrive.

  The family gets separated and the husband suffers with terrible grief which is almost too much for him to bear and this man then searches for some reason why he should try to continue on with his life. He does find one possible path and this is his story.

  Bound for Home

  While traveling for work a man finds himself almost two thousand miles from home when a terrorist attack cripples the whole system infrastructure across the United States. His one and only thought after this event is to get home to his wife as quickly as possible. The man encounters personal hardships during this trip back home but he will let nothing stop him from achieving his one goal of reuniting with the one he loves.

  Stormy Weather

  Following the Great Recession of 2009 the United States enjoyed several years of economic ‘recovery’. At least that is what our government and the media kept telling the nation’s population. Chip, a construction worker in Nebraska was not too sure about the whole economic recovery thing. He never really saw too much improvement where he was living and working.

  Then things really started to go down hill with the nation’s economy. It just kept getting worse and worse and soon even the media could no longer hide the truth that this time the fake recovery was turning into the Second Great Depression.

  Chip still had the old farmstead that had been passed down through several generations in his family. Could he make a go of it on only the small piece of that land that was still left? He knew he would have to use all the old knowledge that his parents had passed to him just to keep his belly full in this new depression with even longer ‘soup lines’ than there was in the first Great Depression. Chip never said he was the brightest bulb but even he knew the nation was in for some stormy weather.

  This is his story.

  After The

  Second Great Depression

  The second Great Depression came about from many factors. The non-existence of a recovery from the recession of two thousand eight, the war with the Islamic State, the bungling actions of the Federal Reserve Bank, and when things got worse the last straw was the declaration of Martial Law here in the United States. This story is not about any of those events. This story is about one man who lived through those events and the many years following the Second Great Depression. Now eight years later the United States is a very different place. It is a harsh place where everyone must be strong to survive and everyone has to rely just on themselves for their survival.

  A Girl’s Gotta

  Survive

  In a little different twist from my other books this story is about a young woman. Told in her own words it follows the trials and tribulations she has faced in her life from an early age. Just when it seems she has a handle on things and it looks like a brighter future may be in front of her the nation’s economy falls into serious decline. This of course causes problems for our heroine but also for the whole nation. But she is a fighter with a serious will to survive. Will she succeed?

  Dark Days

  In this story a hacker group gives fair warning that they are about to shut down all computers in the USA. All scoff at the warning as being a totally impossible feat. When the grace period ends the hackers shut down America’s power grid and just using computers they are also able to cause severe physical damage to the entire grid system. This story tells of the aftermath of this very possible event on a small family owned ranch in southwestern Colorado.

  When the family learns the electric power will not be coming back on anytime soon they think through the awful effects that will befall all the citizens of this nation. They are very grateful that at least they are together to face the disaster ahead.
