Booker

By Susan Peltier

Booker likes routines, lists, and rules. The world makes sense when everything is in its proper place.

When his guardian leaves on a routine supply run, Booker expects two quiet days on the farm with Max, the Saint Bernard he barely tolerates. Instead, a catastrophic solar event plunges the nation into darkness. Power grids fail. Communications collapse. Cities descend into chaos. And Booker is left completely alone.

As society begins to unravel, Booker must rely on the survival skills taught to him by the two women who raised him. Armed with careful planning, determination, and an unexpected bond with Max, he faces dangers far beyond anything he has ever imagined. Strange footprints appear near the property. Supplies grow scarce. The world outside becomes increasingly unpredictable and hostile.

While Booker struggles to protect the farm, Eli fights her way home across hundreds of miles of collapsing infrastructure, desperate to reach him before the situation becomes irreversible.

As the disaster deepens and old threats emerge from the shadows, Booker discovers that survival is about more than following a checklist. It requires courage, trust, and the willingness to face a world that no longer follows any rules at all.

BOOKER is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival thriller about resilience, family, loyalty, and finding strength in unexpected places. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven disaster fiction, survival adventures, and emotionally powerful stories set in a world pushed to the breaking point.
