The world didn't end in a single day.
It changed forever.
In the months following the events of The Black Net Protocol, Mercer Ridge has become more than a place to survive. Fields are planted, workshops are busy, and a small community is beginning to believe in tomorrow. But beyond the familiar hills, other towns are finding their own way forward, each facing different dangers, hard choices, and uncertain futures.
When long-range radio contacts begin reaching farther than ever before, Mercer Ridge discovers an opportunity no one expected: to reconnect isolated communities into something stronger than any one settlement could become alone.
As pilots, soldiers, engineers, and families push beyond the boundaries of home, they learn that rebuilding civilization is more than restoring roads, radios, and trade. It is rebuilding trust between people who have every reason to stand apart.
From author Bill Locke comes After the Second Sun, the gripping second novel in the Mercer Ridge series-a suspense-filled story of courage, resilience, and the long road from survival to rebuilding a nation.
