Last City: A Post Apocalyptic Survival Thriller
In a world where technology has become humanity's greatest vulnerability, one town stands untouched amidst the chaos.
When a mysterious pulse of energy sweeps across the globe, cities burn and millions perish as every electronic device becomes a weapon of mass destruction. In the blink of an eye, modern civilization crumbles, plunging the world into darkness and despair.
But Hope, a small Nevada town, miraculously survives unscathed. As the rest of the country lies in ruins, this isolated community becomes a beacon for survivors and a target for those seeking to exploit the new world order.
Enter Devon Myers, a former British cop with a shadowy past, and the enigmatic Jessie Summers. Together, they must navigate the treacherous landscape of post-apocalyptic America and the web of deceit woven by Paul Hickman, who seeks control of Hope, all while uncovering the truth behind the town’s miraculous survival.
Last City is a gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of unimaginable catastrophe. With richly drawn characters and heart-pounding action, this first installment in a six-book series will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last.

I write post apocalyptic science fiction both on my own account and with Mike Kraus, as well as space opera and fantasy. And one or two other bits and bobs.
Based in the south of England, I've been writing since my teens, alternating between funny and serious. In the mid 1990s, I became a regular columnist for PC Pro magazine and have written a number of business and craft books over the years.
Fiction is my first love, however - I hope you enjoy my voyages into an uncertain future.

A good start for a series.

Wow. I've just finished this gripping book, having fairly raced through it! I do like action, and lots of things happening, and this novel certainly had those.
Also some interesting characters, with unexpected twists and plenty of villains. And of course some, who can't easily be classified into black or white, which always makes things absorbing.
Anyone who has previously read any of this author's series will recognise the style, and be certain to also enjoy this series starter. I certainly can't wait to read the next one!

Excellent introduction to apocalyptic tale
Last City is an apocalyptic thriller revolving around the town of Hope, which, initially inexplicably, spared the destruction the rest of, at least America, possibly the world. The book is unique in its apocalypse, points in its favor. Also, no character is a preppper/homesteader/survivalist, just regular people facing the end of the world. The villains are well constructed, but the sympathetic characters are even better. 5/5 star! Recommended to anyone interested in excellent apocalyptic fiction or just thrillers in general.
