Blackout Protocol : A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller
When the sky goes dark, only the ruthless survive.
Cole Vandermeer never wanted to be a hero. Fresh out of military basic training and back home in the conservative backwoods of eastern Oregon, all he wanted was peace. But when a catastrophic EMP wipes out the power grid and plunges the nation into chaos, Cole is thrust into a brutal fight for survival.
Armed with only his trusted Beretta 9mm and a soldier’s instincts, Cole fights to protect what remains of his world. But even as he battles raiders, starvation, and the collapse of society, the deepest wounds don’t come from the chaos outside...they come from betrayal within.
Jenna, the woman he once trusted more than anyone, turns against him in the ashes of civilization. Her ambition, fear, and ruthlessness ignite a chain of events that shatter Cole’s humanity. Humiliated, beaten, disarmed, and left for dead, Cole loses everything.
But he doesn’t die.
He rises.
From fire-scarred forests to hidden mountain sanctuaries, Cole claws his way back from the edge. Hunting the violent, exposing traitors, forging unlikely alliances with a reclusive Native tribe, and confronting what Jenna has become, Cole transforms from a wounded survivor into a primal force driven by vengeance and purpose.
Blood will spill. Loyalties will crumble. The man he once was will be burned away.
What rises in his place is something feral.
Something unstoppable.
If you like The Road, The Walking Dead, or The Terminal List, Blackout Protocol is your next adrenaline-soaked obsession.
Brutal. Emotional. Unforgiving. This is survival fiction at its rawest edge.
Are you ready to follow Cole into the fire?
A heart-pounding tale of survival in a shattered America
Explosive betrayal as Jenna rises to power and destroys Cole’s trust
A raw transformation arc, forged in violence, loss, and rebirth
A primal revenge story that grips you from page one to the last breath
