TEOTWAWKI. “The end of the world as we know it”
Book 1, The Mountain, follows the life of a group of survivors sheltered inside the unused Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository at Jackass Flats, Nevada. The EMP series depicts what to expect in such a dreadful event that could happen at the hands of a rogue nation. North Korea, Iran, or even terrorists can deliver such a device on board a ship or even a backpack from across the border of a targeted nation. It could be a matter of when rather than a matter of if. In any case, the 3-book EMP series realistically depict the desperate efforts to survive following such an attack. Survival is brutal above all imagination. Book One covers the attack and two years afterward. Colonel Bradley, assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency, takes command of the uncompleted Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository where a selection of local ranchers, pre-chosen professionals, and Nevada National Guard support an assortment of government scientists seek shelter underground to escape the aftereffects of the EMP strike followed by nuclear war that produces a nuclear winter that lasts two years. The EMP series realistically depicts the life of a group of survivors living underground in the wake of an EMP attack that destroys electronic devices and the electric power grids over much of the world, causing 90% of the world’s population to perish.

TEOTWAWKI. “The end of the world as we know it.” It’s been two years since the EMP attack followed by the bombs, creating a nuclear winter of global magnitude. The EMP attack laid waste the electric power grids and electronics of much of the world. Ninety percent of the world’s population perished from the wars and the prolonged effects of the EMP attack followed by the bombs that created a nuclear winter. The migrating survivors are mostly from the underdeveloped countries of Central and South America not targeted by the nuclear exchange. They come seeking The Mountain known to contain food and technology that survived the wars. Sheltered inside the unused Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada, a group of survivors briefly venture out of their underground refuge only to face a battle with these hostile foreign survivors seeking to take the “The Mountain.” An attack from within causes much death and ignites military action that spreads to a hoard of survivors migrating to the region and seeking to take control of the Mountain. Both the activists and the survivors in the Mountain realize the jet stream is returning the fallout of the nuclear winter to the region. Both seek to replenish food and supplies needed to carry them through another siege by the nuclear fallout. The survivors repel many assaults and attacks until they are forced to resume shelter inside the Mountain when a belt of radiation returns. Inside the Mountain, they prepare to battle for their survival once the radiation outside subsidies and the attacks resume.

Selecting a place called Area 51 in Nevada and beneath a shroud of secrecy, the Central Intelligence Agency first flew the U-2, the Angel knowing at the time that the Russians would most likely shoot it down within 18 months. To replace the U-2, the CIA designed America’s first stealth plane, using the slide rule to produce what today remains the highest flying and fastest manned, air-breathing aircraft ever flown, the A-12 Archangel. The agency named it the Oxcart, the first of a family of four Blackbird planes. At Area 51, the CIA flew the Oxcart on 2,850 sorties, some faster than a rifle bullet and up to 90,000 feet that remained unknown to the world for decades to come. Now, after over 50 years the story can be told about Project OXCART at Area 51.

The EMP electromagnetic pulse attack and ensuing nuclear bomb exchanged happened four years ago, taking out the electric power grids and electronics of much of the world. Ninety percent of the world’s population has perished, those surviving being from the underdeveloped countries not targeted by a nuclear exchange that followed.
Two years ago, at the unused Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada, a group of survivors had briefly ventured out of their underground refuge only to face a battle with hostile foreign survivors seeking to take their refuge. The jet stream returned the fallout of the nuclear winter back to the region, but not before both replenish the food and supplies needed to carry them through another siege by the nuclear fallout.
The survivors in the mountain have the past two years prepared to repel attacks on the mountain and to battle the Islamic jihadists arriving from Central America seeking to control Hoover Dam for an Islamic State in Arizona.
Now, the nuclear winter that blanketed the globe has reduced to storms influenced by the jet stream. The survivors split, most leaving the mountain to establish a refuge in the Veteran’s Hospital in North Las Vegas from future storm events. A small group remains at the mountain to defend it.
A battle ensues at the Hoover Dam just ahead of global weather changes that deliver radioactive dust from an El Nino storm that forces the survivors to seek cover. Tragedy strikes with unimaginable consequences.

The Hanson family, Hoot, once a laid-back oilman, his feisty wife, Hanna, their twin girls, and the best damn bird dog in the state think their nightmare is over. Their small, independent oil company, Hanson Oil has made them very wealthy, riches that they have yet to enjoy because of the problems brought by the notoriety of the wildcat strike. Both the feds and a local, homegrown jihadist cell targeted the Hanson wealth and lost in a lengthy court battle. The survivors of the jihadist cell seek revenge, killing many of their friends and kidnapping one of the twins. Hoot and Hanna take the fight to the jihadists, using their Hanson Oil money to form Hanson’s Army disguised as a security company known and feared for the white hats they wear. The bad guys soon learn that the Hansons and their army have no fear, no forgiveness, unlimited resources, and take no prisoners.

For five years the four had trained together for the first manned flight to Mars. All, two men and two women, an American, a Canadian, a Japanese American, and an African-Australian were astronauts, having spent one tour on the International Space Station during training and another four months as they prepared an orbital launch of the SpaceCorp-owned spaceship Explorer. An over-burn of its rockets due to sabotage during departure dooms the Mars mission and leaves the Explorer and crew no choice but look for a new planet or asteroid to colonize. That’s what the US military and intelligence agencies wants everyone on Earth to think. In truth, the Explorer was on a dual mission, one to prepare a venue for colonization and the other a militarized mission to test a new device in space. There was no going back after they found what they were seeking.
