Lightning Fall: A Novel of Disaster

A sudden strike from the sea leaves the western half of the country stripped of power. Three attacks were launched from cargo ships, and one of them succeeded completely.

The novel follows a wide range of people, from the powerful to the ordinary, as they try to get through the collapse of a badly injured nation. Meanwhile, the enemies already inside the country and those beyond its borders close in for the kill.
