It's been just shy of seven years since the first wave of electromagnetic pulses bombarded the earth and began the turmoil. Most people couldn't cope, for they no longer had the skills their ancestors had. No one grew their own crops anymore. Few knew how to hunt and fish and trap small game. They lived off boxed food and canned goods. And they died in great numbers. Some, though, survived. They weren't tougher than the others, necessarily. They were better planners. They were the ones who were willing to learn new things. By the time the canned goods and boxed pasta were gone, the planners already had their grow spaces established and thriving. They were raising livestock instead of butchering it on the spot. And they were working hard to protect what they had from others who'd take it from them. The group of people in Scott Harter's south Texas compound was such a group. They suffered like everyone else. But they also persevered. This is the final chapter in their story. It takes place five years after we last saw them, and tells the tail of a recovering world. And a group of friends and family who've defied the odds and thrived.
