Publisher's summary

Three months after an EMP cripples the United States, John Mack and his family find their peaceful new existence shattered when a tyrant seizes control of the nearby town of Oneida.

Charles Augustus Morgan is a presidential envoy sent to restore law and order to the area. But his first order of business is to demand the confiscation of all firearms from the local population. Morgan's offer is as ugly as the man himself: disarm or die.

When John and his family get caught in the middle, the threat jeopardizes everything they've struggled to rebuild. Soon John encounters a group of patriots who've sworn to stand against Morgan's growing despotism. But John will learn that nothing in this new post-EMP America is what it seems - and that the deadliest threats are often the ones you didn't see coming.

Cookie Cutter, at best

Sets up like most in this genre, then quickly devolves into a jumble of common tropes, implausible scenarios, and a fair share of ex machinas. Good guys are incorruptible and wholly benevolent, whilst the bad guys are utter buffoons with no redeeming qualities. You never feel as if the main characters are in any danger and can pretty much call every super hero save pages before it happens. Narrated well, but that's about it.
