The Cold Winter
The Cold Winter is a timely story that addresses the effects of a grid-down cyber attack on the residents of a small village in Ohio. The added twist of a raging snow storm that pounds the region mercilessly creates "the cold winter".
The Vesper family lives in a small village near Columbus and has prepared some, but not enough. Survival is their challenge, but they refuse to climb out of the aftermath by stepping on those in need. Their goal is to help every family that finds the way to their doorstep, although violence eventually comes knocking.
The looming question eventually becomes Will the spring thaw really bring the crisis to an end, or is it just the beginning?

About the author
Chris Underwood
6 books60 followersI started seriously writing back in 2012 when my concerns of a power grid failure began to creep into my mind. My concerns festered into a storyline that continued to bug me until I got it on paper. I’ve heard that good writing is like sharing a good secret. It took five years of honing my craft to get the first book out, but it has been fun sharing this secret.

A cyber attack on the power grid plunges Ohio into darkness. New England's power grid tries to compensate for the dark patch and they go down as well. While normally inconvenient there is a blizzard on the way and there will be no help coming. Thom had once been a prepper, but after falling too far down the rabbit hole his wife had put a stop to it a few years prior. Now, Thom is thankful for the supplies he has and he and his family open their home to others who have been caught unawares. With looters, poachers, and a drug-ravaged state now going cold-turkey off medications every refugee who approaches poses a threat to this little house in Galena. Will they choose the wrong one and endanger their families? How many lives will be lost before this cold winter ends?
I received a paperback of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. When I started this book I was confused about the fact that it jumps from 3 years after the event to the event in question. Each time it took me out of the story I was slightly annoyed by that fact. I'm not here for boating. I'm here to figure out if they survive this winter. But, I'm glad I held on because those parts end up being important and don't give away nearly what I initially thought. Of which I am glad.
The ending of this book is good, but it feels incomplete. Is there a second book coming for this series? I know this is one of three books the author has published, but since another of his books is sitting beside me and there is an alien on the cover somehow I doubt it has anything to do with the cold winter. This thriller leaves your forgetting the world around you, considering a prepper lifestyle of your own, glad that our own winter has ended.
Being only a few hours from the Ohio line in Eastern Indiana that could get ugly. I've voiced my complaints on the boating scenes simply because I felt they removed me from the action and what I really wanted to know, but in the end they weren't a complaint at all. Simply a needed part of the story. I didn't guess at that ending and I'm sure you won't either. I have already suggested this book to a co-worker and she has it downloaded and on her phone now for as soon as she finishes another mystery she is reading.
When I initially agreed to the review the author posed it to me as an apocalyptic book. Of course, if you have been reading my reviews for any length of time, I have a soft spot for apocalyptic books. Not sure why, perhaps just a change of scenery or the fact that something is going to happen is inevitable. Nothing is permanent. While this event isn't apocalyptic, as far as I'm concerned, the fall-out from it could be world-changing. Fall-out from retaliation and the possibility of a war brought to our soil opens so many possibilities in this written world. What's scarier is that this is an entirely probable scenario.
If you are easily spooked be warned, otherwise I completely suggest you hop in and enjoy the ride Chris takes you on. After all, this could happen...

What could possibly go wrong with a power outage? But what if that power outage is state-wise and possibly a cyber attack on the power grid? Without any certainty to be back again? What if it's a cold WINTER? No heaters are working in the houses while the temperature outside keeps dropping down, and the ration starts running out? Where people are crossing their threshold of humanity to engage in inhuman activities to merely survive?
That's the intriguing premise of ‘The Cold Winter’ by Chris Underwood, where our protagonist Thom must do all he can to keep his family and friends safe from the impending danger of cold temperatures and raiders who could kill you to take what's yours. With the first four chapters, the author pulls a reader into this riveting story, sets characters in place and puts the nail-biting narrative in motion.
Its fast-paced and exhilarating storyline kept me hooked till the end of the book. Throughout the book it kept me in an ominous state. I always enjoy reading where I am not just reading but the author creates such a world through his noteworthy writing that I feel part of it. Whether it's the description of the neighbourhood of Thom, Gelena, or the action; it has been written cleverly, which makes it more like a cinematic experience (Those who follow my reviews may know how much a cinematic experience means to me when reading a good book).
My favourite aspect of this book is the characterization of Thom. He is calculative, strategic, cautious, knows how and when to take charge, and always thinks ahead of time in a catastrophic event, and these abilities help him survive such testing times. Characters like Toni, Erick and Carl have been written well, but the characterization of JP, Brad, Ed and Allen is limited; even when a character dies, it doesn't make an impact as it's supposed to. This is just the first book in this series, so I am still hopeful that maybe the author was holding himself back, and in the second book, other characters and their dynamics will be explored more.
The part that took me off guard was the revelation in the end that revolved around Thom and Randal. The way that parallel story was running, I had my speculations and predictions because it felt obvious that way but it was beyond that. The author certainly lets you predict and delivers the unpredictable. If this was a standalone book then I would have complained about the way it ended, but since it's part of a series and the end anticipates the events that may follow in the second book I am satisfied with it because, without open end, I wouldn't have been eager to know what what will happen in the second book.
I still don't know what to expect from it because of the helpless state the first book ends with. How are our characters supposed to survive when a mere hint of having food can attract danger towards them? With jammed highways of cars, no means of communication to establish contact with other states, and no help coming from the government because of unfavourable and bleak conditions that too in the middle of a political crisis across the country.
This curiosity and eagerness to find out is what I mean whenever I mention “the author knows what he is doing” in my reviews. Chris Underwood's compelling storytelling in this book is praiseworthy for the detailing and unsettling atmosphere it has created. I am looking forward to knowing how the story turns out in the next book.

I just finished The Cold Winter by Chris Underwood, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most gripping books I’ve read in a long time. From the very first page, I was pulled into the Vesper family’s struggle for survival during a brutal grid-down scenario.
The story feels so real—like something that could happen tomorrow—which makes it all the more chilling. The combination of a massive snowstorm, no power, and the sheer desperation of people trying to survive left me constantly on edge.
While survival stories often focus on chaos and selfishness, The Cold Winter shines a light on the good in people too. The Vesper family’s determination to help others, even when their own resources are stretched thin, added so much heart to the story.
But don’t be fooled—it’s not all warm and fuzzy. The stakes are high, and there are moments where you can’t help but wonder who will make it through. The twists kept me turning pages late into the night.
Chris Underwood’s writing is straightforward and powerful, making it easy to picture every tense moment and feel every icy gust of wind. This isn’t just a survival story; it’s a reminder of how fragile modern life really is. If you’re into survival fiction with strong characters and a storyline that feels hauntingly plausible, this book is a must-read.

This book gave me chills, literally and figuratively. The setting in rural Ohio during a grid down cyberattack combined with a brutal snowstorm felt terrifyingly real. Chris Underwood doesn’t just describe the collapse of normal life; he puts you inside it. The empty grocery shelves, the frozen pipes, the hunger and uncertainty. it all rings with authenticity.
What stood out most for me was the way Underwood highlights community over chaos. The Vesper family’s instinct to help others, even when their own supplies are thin, resonated with me. It reminded me that in crisis, our humanity matters as much as our survival. But make no mistake: this isn’t a rosy tale of neighbors holding hands. There are threats lurking, both from the storm and from desperate people willing to do anything.
The pacing was excellent. There were moments of quiet reflection, then bursts of tension that had me flipping pages late into the night. The ending was not neat or comforting, it left me unsettled in the best way, wondering if spring would really bring safety or only a new wave of challenges. For fans of survival fiction and anyone who has ever wondered “what if the grid went down?”, this book is a must-read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chris The Cold Winter gripped me from its first pages and kept me riveted until the last. The premise of a grid-down cyber-attack, a brutal snowstorm, and a small Ohio community pushed to its limits is brilliantly original and deeply immersive.
Amazon
What stood out most was how real the characters and their struggles felt. Tom Vesper and his family aren’t just survivors they’re human in every messy, hopeful, desperate way. Their decisions, fears, and resilience made the stakes feel personal. The setting the fading power, the cold creeping in, the fraught bonds under pressure was described with authenticity.
Barnes & Noble
Your writing balanced tension and reflection with such care. The technical concept of a grid failure merged effortlessly with the emotional core of community and compassion it felt cinematic yet grounded. I found myself leaning forward, heart racing one moment, pausing the next to soak in the weight of what the characters were facing.
Thank you for crafting a story that’s so much more than survival—it’s about connection, hope, and what we’ll do when the world around us unravels. The Cold Winter is going straight into my “recommend to friends” list, and I’ll eagerly await what you do next.

"The Cold Winter: Book One of the Grid-Down Series" by Chris Underwood is an intense, gripping tale that kept me hooked from start to finish. The Niagara Falls grid is down, and a devastating snowstorm traps the unprepared in the Northeast corner of the US.
The Vesper family, living in a small town in central Ohio, finds themselves facing a brutal winter with no utilities, water, internet, fuel, or means to travel. Their preparations fall short, and they must navigate the harsh reality of survival while vowing to help anyone in need.
The characters are vividly real, especially Thom and his friend Randal, whose resilience and resourcefulness stand out in these dire circumstances. This page-turner dives deep into the struggle of millions displaced by the storm, capturing the essence of human endurance and the fight for survival.
The narrative's intensity and the characters' authenticity make it a compelling read. I couldn't put it down and am eagerly anticipating the sequel. Kudos to the author for crafting such a powerful and well-written novel, offering a fresh twist on the theme of survival during catastrophic times.

Good Modern Dystopian
This was an entertaining read. The plot was good, though my analytical mind over-thought some points. Still, it felt believable and appropriate.
There was a lot more action than I expected. I didn't anticipate the characters to travel about as much as they did, but it lent a broader worldview. Seeing how different people were affected and coping enriched the story.
The inclusion of faith was lovely. There wasn't anything preachy, but it felt natural. Showing the hope, belief, and religion of the characters in this disaster created another level many tales lack. It was refreshing.
I enjoyed this story and will continue the series. The format intrigued me, and I enjoyed the range of characters. I'm excited to learn more about their fate.

When I read apocalyptic fiction (and I've read over 200 of the best) I always like to hear a unique story that rises above the usual prepper fiction. Many of these books turn out to be endless lists of things to do or collect and often substitute minute detail for depth. While this book employs a large and interesting set of characters, it fails to engage in realistic conversation and makes it very difficult to live in the moment with the characters. It was still a reasonable story but could have been vastly improved if someone had just spoken the conversations out loud to hear how stilted and stiff they sound.

This is not my normal read, but I picked it up while touring the LST-325 while it was visiting Pittsburgh. The author was onboard and selling and signing his novel. Apparently, part of the story is set on the LST-325. That was fascinating enough for me to pick the book up. But the writing was not great. The story had a lot of potential and it made me feel a lot of different things as I read it, but the dialogue specifically was so distracting. There was a really good twist at the end that really took me by surprise, so that was nice, but it also did end right in the middle of the story. So, I feel like I'm going to have to pick up the rest of the series to find out even just a little more.

This is a real page-turner, and I can't wait for the sequel to come out. The book tells a story about a few families in central Ohio who are coping with a massive, widespread power outage during an extended winter storm. No utilities, no water, no internet, no fuel, no way to travel, no way to buy food or drugs, etc. As days turn into weeks, it is survival of the fittest. You will find this book hard to put down. Congratulations to author Chris Underwood on a great novel.

Gripping Story
This is a well-written and captivating story. The story is told with detail and feels, that pulls you in and bonds you to each individual. We catch a glimpse of the "what if" being unfolded in the pages and can picture ourselves and wonder what we would do. The author focuses on a main character as the story moves on, just a regular man. If you want a good read, that has elements of God and self questioning, buy and enjoy.

The electric grid overloads plunging the Eastern seaboard over to Ohio into darkness for a indefinite period of time. The story follows several families and how they handle a new world. Interesting but at times a dark perspective into human nature. Central Ohio is the focal point so local references.
April 12, 2021
Having been in Detroit when the power grid failure happened, this was an interesting take on what would happen should a larger, more catastrophic failure of the grid were to happen. Seems realistic instead of a crazy conspiracy theory. Makes me want to learn how to use a gun and can food. Good story, but could use a bit more editing and polish to make it really good.

I've read other books similar to this one, but never in the snow in Ohio. One can learn the dos and don'ts of how to react when a disaster strikes. Cliff hanger, of course. But also a bit of a surprise at the end. I liked it. Not what happened, but the twist was well done.
September 13, 2025
Wow
This was a very good book. It seemed more realistic than a lot of this type of book, not instant war with the main character a super shot, commando. Regular people, stocking a believable amount of supplies, and reacting to the world abruptly changing, in a realistic manner.

The Cold Winter by Chris Underwood is a contemporary dystopian fiction (Book 1) about a power grid failure across the Northeastern United States. Despite reading it during the heat of a North Carolina August, I was always surprised at the temperature outside - the book had me so engrossed that I expected snowdrifts instead of sand dunes!
The story follows the Vesper family: Tom, his wife, and their two children as they navigate the failure of the Niagara Falls grid. We soon learn that Tom used to be a "prepper" but had to take a step back due to high anxiety and his wife's insistence. However, his knowledge about prepping becomes not only useful, but necessary for survival as he he helps friends and strangers make it through the winter.
The book had a really unique twist at the end that I didn't see coming - Chris did a great job with that, but you'll have to read it to know more! Let's just say that I'm hooked enough to want to read the next two. Definitely put on your TBR!
