When the world goes dark, one man will do whatever it takes to protect his family. Shane McDonald is a nuclear engineer trained to prevent disaster. But when a massive solar storm wipes out the power grid, plunging the world into chaos, he's forced into action. With cities collapsing and violence spreading, Shane must lead his blind teenage daughter across a lawless landscape to the only safe haven left: his prepper mother-in-law's off-grid sanctuary. Meanwhile, Shane's wife, Jodi, is stranded in the city-where their young son is trapped in a powerless hospital elevator and her brother's cancer treatment has stopped cold. Cut off and alone, Jodi must summon her own strength to protect what's left of her family and fight her way back to them. Separated by miles and danger, Shane and Jodi each face impossible choices in a world without rules. Survival will take more than skill-it will take courage, sacrifice, and unbreakable hope. Great news! Crumbling World is even better than before - it was expanded & republished in July 2025!
