About


What would you do if the lights went out?

No power. No phones. No help coming.

Police Chief Tom Harrington has spent years keeping the peace in Flatstone, Oregon—a quiet mountain town where the biggest problems are bar fights and the occasional break-in. But when the national power grid collapses, Tom faces a crisis that threatens everything he’s sworn to protect.

His daughter Emily is trapped in Seattle, three hundred miles away, as the city descends into chaos. The town’s only power source—a small hydroelectric plant—makes Flatstone a target. And his old military comrade has just arrived with a squad of armed mercenaries, offering protection that comes with a deadly price.

Perfect for fans of One Second After, The Road, and Station Eleven.

★★★★★ “Finally, a post-apocalyptic novel where people make real decisions, not Hollywood decisions.”


WHEN DARKNESS FALLS is the first book in a gripping post-apocalyptic series that explores what happens when the grid goes down and the veneer of civilization cracks.
