Ice Queen: Teenage Survivalist III

by Julie L. Casey

On PF (Power Failure) Day, the sun strikes the world with an unseen surge of electromagnetic fury, which cripples power stations and burns transformers to crispy nuggets of regret. No one had ever thought about how much they depended on electrical power, but now, without it, they are plunged into survival mode. Without electricity there is no communication, no modern conveniences, and soon, no modern means of transportation, as the reserves of refined gasoline run dry. Worse still is the failure of the water and sewer systems, the impossibility of getting food and supplies to people living in cities, and the deaths of millions of people from starvation, disease, and lack of medical care.

Taylor knows what it takes to survive. She’s been surviving on her own as long as she can remember while her parents alternated between drug-induced catatonia to rehab to jail. But does she have what it takes to survive the failure of the world's power grids, her parent's and older brother's painful withdrawal from drugs, and the emergence of the mental diseases the drugs have been masking for years? Unlike her friends from books I and II—happy-go-lucky Bracken and brooding avoider Ben—Taylor analyzes each aspect of her harsh new reality with candor and quirky observations.
