The Settlement Wars - Post Apocalyptic EMP Thriller

By Johnny Ray

Eighteen months after an electromagnetic pulse shatters America, survival is no longer about hope, it's about leverage.

Marcus Cole wanted to vanish into the Tennessee hills and let the world burn itself out. Instead, forty-seven people are depending on him to keep them alive. Ridgecrest is running out of time, and when a vital lifeline fails, Marcus is forced into a confrontation with a man who controls more than resources, he controls the future.

What begins as a single desperate decision pulls Marcus into a brutal struggle where power is fragile, trust is rare, and every alliance comes with a hidden price. In a land ruled by scarcity and fear, victory doesn't mean safety, it means becoming a target.

As the lines between protector and tyrant blur, Marcus learns that rebuilding civilization demands more than courage. It demands sacrifice. And once certain choices are made, there's no going back.

In a world stripped down to human nature at its rawest, The Settlement Wars is a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller about leadership under pressure, and the terrible cost of keeping others alive.
