Chaos Gains: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller (After the EMP Book 5)

When society collapses, who can you rely on? Colt is recovering from a near-fatal ordeal, yet his physical wounds are not his biggest concern. A violent militia has seized the local college and intends to overrun the whole town. A small group of regular folks must now face a well-organized enemy with little more than determination and each other. Survival demands hard choices. Melody, who has always followed the rules, starts defying the armed men in charge by aiding outsiders and telling lies. That shift makes her a captive, and unless Colt and his allies reach her quickly, she may have to fight for her own freedom. Dani, who was on the run when she met them, finds an unexpected circle of companions. As the militia closes in, each person carries a responsibility. This tense cat-and-mouse contest keeps changing the stakes, and the question is who will make it through.
