The America we are accustomed to is no more. Practically overnight the stock market has plummeted, hyperinflation has crippled commerce, and the fragile chains of supply and high-technology infrastructure have fallen. The power grids are down. Brutal rioting and looting grip every major city. In this unfamiliar environment, only a handful of individuals are equipped to survive. Andrew Laine, a young U.S. Army officer stationed overseas in Afghanistan, wants nothing more than to return home to Bloomfield, New Mexico. With all air and sea traffic to America suspended, Laine must rely on his own ingenuity and help of good Samaritans to reach his family. Major Ian Doyle is a U.S. Air Force pilot stationed in Arizona with his wife, Blanca. Their daughter, Linda, is trapped in the Northeastern riots. Three teenage orphans, Shadrach, Reuben, and Matthew Phelps, have no choice but to set out on their own when their orphanage closes. The world of Survivors is a terrifyingly familiar one. If everything you thought you knew suddenly fell apart, would you survive?
