8G

by Debbie Kump

The world will never be the same for survivors Erik Weber and Alyssa Kensington after the devastating national telecommunications upgrade to 7G network claimed the lives of their families, friends, and countless others who accessed virtual computer screens through optical lenses. Within days of escaping the grisly scenes of southern Florida to find solace in a protected Caribbean cove, a fierce hurricane ravages the tiny island and destroys Erik and Alyssa’s meager supplies. Forced to seek refuge elsewhere, they soon discover the truth behind the disaster. More surprising, the damage was not as widespread as previously believed. While the nation faces the complicated tasks of coping with the catastrophe and restoring afflicted areas, Erik and Alyssa must choose to return to the nightmares of their shattered homeland or forge a new existence abroad. Despite the national tragedy, innovative technological developments abound that will forever change how people view the world. Still, new dangers loom for individuals like Olympic skiing hopeful Graham Carruthers and pre-med student Amber Merchant. Explore the futuristic lives and challenges of a host of new characters in this exciting sequel to the apocalyptic thriller, 7G.
