Dark Titan: Journey (Book 1) - Thomas A Watson

Nathan Owens is a reserve officer for the sheriff’s department, as well as a part-time ER nurse at the local hospital. He is also a founding member of a prepper group, twenty-two families strong, that formed an LLC and bought a thousand acres on the northern Idaho-Montana border. They use it for a hunting ranch, but it’s really their bug-out area.

While out of town on business, Nathan is alerted by his friend and fellow prepper, Tim, that the government has called an alert for all forces, even those overseas. Hours later, the Earth is hit with a coronal mass ejection. The CME is rated a Z-class and numbers put it a hundred times as massive as the Carrington event of 1859. The CME causes several orbiting satellites, carrying plutonium or uranium, to detonate. The electromagnetic pulses that result throw the world into chaos. Planes plummet from the sky, and massive explosions fill the air.

Now Nathan and a group of locals must band together to survive the aftermath of the apocalyptic event. His number one priority is to get on the road and get back to his prepper family: a journey of 2,600 miles—on foot now that the EMPs have knocked out most modern modes of transportation. However, Nathan’s conscience dictates that he arm the group with weapons and sufficient knowledge so they may survive on their own. Over the course of those first few crucial days, he does just that—in the process making lifelong friendships.

Join us on Nathan’s journey home.
