WHAT IF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ENDED TOMORROW?
The America we are accustomed to is no more. Practically
overnight the stock market has plummeted, hyperinflation has
crippled commerce, and the fragile chains of supply and
high-technology infrastructure have fallen. The power grids
are down. Brutal rioting and looting grip every major city.
The volatile era known as “the Crunch” has begun, and this
new period in our history will leave no one untouched. In
this unfamiliar environment, only a handful of individuals
are equipped to survive. Andrew Laine, a resourceful young U.S. Army officer
stationed overseas in Afghanistan, wants nothing more than
to return home to Bloomfield, New Mexico. With the world in
turmoil and all air and sea traffic to America suspended,
Laine must rely on his own ingenuity and the help of good
Samaritans to reach his family. Andrew will do whatever it
takes to make it home to his fiancée, no matter how
difficult the circumstances. Major Ian Doyle is a U.S. Air Force pilot sta-tioned in
Arizona with his wife, Blanca. Their young daughter, Linda,
is trapped in the North- eastern riots. Three teenage
orphans, Shadrach, Reuben, and Matthew Phelps, have no
choice but to set out on their own when their orphanage
closes at the beginning of the Crunch. Then there is Ignacio
Garcia, the ruthless leader of the criminal gang called La
Fuerza, who will stop at nothing to amass an army capable of
razing the countryside. And over everything looms the threat
of a provisional government, determined to take over America
and destroy the freedoms upon which it was built. The world
of Survivors is a terrifyingly familiar one. Rawles has
written a novel so close to the truth, readers will forget
it’s fiction. If everything you thought you knew suddenly
fell apart, would you survive?
