L.A. Dark (Jeremys Run Book 1)

And they are in the worst place they could be - surrounded by looter gangs and millions who will soon be desperate and dying. Young, fit, but ill prepared, their choices are few and stark. Dark is the first installment of a serial story that chronicles an epic struggle of the human spirit to survive, to prevail over the odds, to retain one's humanity, and to keep alive the hope for a new and better future. Lauren Russell often wondered why her father had been so adamant about teaching her skills that most other fathers wouldn't even consider teaching their daughters.

He's concerned with what he sees on the news, and how the country seems to be ready to tear itself apart. His biggest concern has been civil unrest.

Morgan and his extended family could see the light at the end of the tunnel, dim though it may be. There was the promise of power once again. The plant was being repaired, and it looked as though it may actually run.

While it meant lots of hard, sweaty work, the reward was worth the investment. The farm was growing strong, and community involvement was good.

People were finally coming to terms with the fact that they needed to work together. So far Mother Nature had been on their side. But that, too, was about to change. Ripley's a tomboy at heart who has never met a stranger. Her plans were to finish her veterinary studies and take her family to the country, where life wouldn't be such a struggle.
