NEW UPDATED EDITION! "Gripping!" Doug Erlandson, Top 50 Amazon Reviewer Only the resilient can survive-but at what cost? An EMP thrust the United States into a dark age, and now Andrea, Lexie, and Sarah must survive as society collapses and marauding gangs increase. The appearance of FEMA camps might be reassuring except the military is forcing civilians into them. Those who've survived the first months are nearing the end of their resources or wits. Only faith can carry the girls and their families through growing dangers. Choices must be made-but at what cost? "Intense!" L.R. Burkard is back with the next tale in her dystopian series, and the bar of excellence is raised to new heights with this top-quality literary offering! Deena Peterson, Reviewer READERS SAY: FAVORITE AUTHOR L.R. Burkard is quickly becoming my favorite author. I know I can always trust her books to be free of unnecessary foul language and a narrative that is in poor taste. But now she has proven herself also to be an extraordinary storyteller. In fact, every book she has written has been a page-turner. This is a true gift! Diane Archibald, Reviewer EXCITING PAGE TURNER! This second book is even more exciting and thought-provoking than the first! D.E.Taylor, Amazon Reviewer RIP-ROARING READ is Just as riveting as the first one. While I'm usually a historical romance reader, I'm finding dystopian novels to be a fun read too, especially these two books by L. R. Burkard. ..Pick up a copy. You won't regret it. Jodie A. Wolfe, Blogger, Reviewer BURKARD RATCHETS UP THE TENSION After reading this series you will never look at a simple electricity interruption the same way! Teresa Slack, Author "AMAZING MUST READ I agreed to read this book and post a review. I didn't know what I was getting myself in for. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I couldn't put it down. I was sneaking it at work and am so very sad now that it is done. I can't wait for the next one." TRUE TO LIFE SURVIVAL STORY Oh My Goodness! Resilience was another page-turner. I was up all night finishing it." JR Reavis, Amazon Reviewer PULSE EFFEX has become my favorite YA trilogy. I can't wait for the third book in a series I will read again and again.
