In the aftermath of a devastating EMP event, an unprepared suburban Texas school teacher battles his way across a thousand miles of post-apocalyptic terrain to rescue his wife and son stranded in Tennessee.
Marc Sortel is a recently unemployed school teacher living in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. His wife and son have flown to Tennessee for an extended summer vacation with family while Marc stays home trying to short sell his double mortgaged house. Like most modern American males, he's utterly dependent upon the widely available conveniences of a technological culture. What he never realized is that a silicon based society fueled by the free flow of electricity can be transformed into a medieval landscape in a flash.
Life expectancy in the pre-modern world was only 30 years of age.
Marc is about to find out why.
TERAWATT is a full length sci-fi action/adventure novel of approx 120k words.
WARNING: Strong violence, language and adult situations.
This book could have been really. Parts were funny and there was definitely a feeling of solitude in the aftermath of "it" happening. The last third of the book was confusing, and the end was abrupt, with no sequel anywhere that I have found. I'm rather disappointed because I love this genre.
Nothing groundbreaking here, but kept my interest all the same. The errors that are seemingly inevitable with self publishing were noticeable but at least not too intrusive, and I'd read more of the author.
