In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:

“This is an absolute must read!!” ~Carlien, Amazon reviewer
“It’s not the first thing I’ve had to do outside my comfort zone, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.”
Survival by Lisa Harris is the first in the Fallout series and hits the dystopian bullseye, delivering an entertaining tale of survival when the grid goes down for who knows why and for how long and when some people become greedy, feral, and deadly.
Most of the people in the small Texas town of Shadow Ridge rallied when everything electronic failed, when life as everyone knew it reverted back to the old ways of living. Jace McQuaid wasn’t planning on staying in Shadow Ridge and certainly wasn’t planning on becoming the law in a now lawless town. But when his law enforcement father is seriously injured, Jace and his younger brother, Levi, step in to keep the peace. Was it an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or maybe an act of terrorism? How many regions were affected? Cut off from the world, the people of Shadow Ridge, Texas, are simply calling it a ‘quake’ and now relying on a few basic skills and even fewer resources to push through and exist. Like many others, Morgan Addison and her young son, Noah, are alone after the quake, working hard to keep themselves and the remaining townspeople fed and safe. Unfortunately, danger is always lurking and ready to strike.
Survival is naturally quick paced as everyone tries to adapt, but the overall story is steady, flowing with the movement of living off the land, pooling knowledge and resources, and taking one day at a time in a world no one recognizes anymore. When little Noah witnesses a murder, the simple yet complex world of providing food, shelter, and safety becomes even more unrecognizable.
Lisa Harris provides a unique Christian-based view of what happens when the grid goes down. Not everyone splits off and becomes rogue, but it only takes a few to keep a town on edge and afraid. The questions are clear. How will you respond? How will you help? How will you survive? What is also clear is the importance of having even rudimentary knowledge of basic skills when electricity and other modern conveniences and technologies are no longer options. Growing food, administering first aid, and even showing compassion can make all the difference. Survival highlights all this and more, providing readers with plenty to ponder and enough action to keep the story moving right along. Add in a bit of romance, and Survival becomes a a complete package of danger, endurance, purpose, and love. The next in this series cannot come soon enough!

What would you miss most if the grid went down? While not as essential as toilet paper or air-conditioning during a Texas summer, I think the McQuaid heroines from this series would love a bit of self-care—and so would I. – Author Lisa Harris
