Desperate Age Series

Young parents Ethan and Brooke Spencer are on a romantic ski vacation in the Rockies when the lights go out, cars stall, and communications fail. Stranded 800 miles from home, they are desperate to return to their four-year-old twins and are willing to do whatever it takes to reach them.

After an EMP attack plunged the nation into chaos, two parents must make a daring journey that spans more than 800 miles without modern technology. With the fate of their twins hanging in the balance, Brooke and Ethan must brave the hostile environment of the great plains, face outlaws and bandits who have taken control of Dodge City, Kansas, and confront their inner demons to reunite with their loved ones.

Nearly two weeks after an EMP attack sent the nation into chaos, Ethan and Brooke are still fighting to make their way home to Tulsa. Dangers await them at every turn. Meanwhile, back in Tulsa, Robert and Nina continue to fight to protect Ethan and Brooke’s twins from roaming bands of raiders.

In a race against time and fate, Ethan and Brooke have embarked on a harrowing journey, battling through eight hundred miles of treacherous territory over a grueling three weeks. Their sole objective: to reunite with their twins and Ethan's parents. Tragically, their desperate quest concludes not with a heartfelt reunion, but with the horrifying discovery of their hometown reduced to a lawless wasteland, ravaged by chaos and ruled by brutal gangs.

In the face of a world transformed by an EMP attack, the Spencer family has faced every challenge, every trial, and forged an unbreakable bond. Their unity, however, remains unassailable, fortified by not just shared blood, but also by deep bonds of friendship that were kindled and strengthened amidst adversity. Their sanctuary, a symbol of their resilience and hope, will not be forfeited. No matter the cost, they are prepared to fight to their last breath. For love, for survival, for each other.

With his farewells to Ethan, Brooke, and the rest of Camp Joy behind him, Jarrod Hearst pushes south toward the Mexican border, determined to find his daughter before the world closes in for good. With Dallas McCrea, Mad Dog, and a handful of battle-hardened survivors at his side, he navigates gang-held highways, war-weary military outposts, and seas of desperate refugees.
