Dysfunction

by Mike Oppenheim

On July 4th, 2025, Earth experienced a devastating series of geomagnetic storms due to a series of solar flares and solar coronal mass ejections. Scientists had long predicted such events, but there was no way to predict their onset, and thus no warning system was developed. Earth’s magnetic field was severely disrupted and most of the western hemisphere was decimated. Years later, remnants of a small colony of people, including their diaries were found underneath the Hoover Dam in the Southwestern desert of what had previously been known as Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the story of the eight humans who were trapped under the Hoover Dam for more than sixty years. And the strangest part of all? The story is funny.

Original Plot

The arc was tremendous for such a short work. It's comedic and philosophical which is sort of interesting in a comedy. Made me think.

Talk about Dysfunction - this book was definitely it. I can see why this book was free through Amazon. It's not worth even picking up. It tried to be a story about when the western hemisphere is decimated and the story revolves around the group of people saved in an underground shelter. Even though this is a first book for this author, I think he needs to go back and study how stories are written, especially the ending. You need to have some sort of ending and this one really didn't.
