Most important, for the first time in human history, we don’t know how to feed ourselves. Society teeters just nine meals from chaos. We are at the mercy of intricate supply chains for the most basic of needs. If tomorrow that supply chain stopped, and the grocery store was empty, what would we do to care for our families?In the setting of the Fortress Farm series, the world’s electrical and communications grid fails. People are left people without food, water or heat. Leaders seize remaining resources for their own benefit, forsaking those they claimed to serve. Bandits roam the countryside preying on the weak. Humans once more fear what lurks in the night. Fortress Farm charts the progress of different societies as they reform in the void. Some try to create libertarian republics, others benevolent dictatorships, military strongmen and caliphates. Some Churches join forces and once again help lost souls find hope, while other religions take the opportunity to prove God's judgement is upon them. Each situation presents unique challenges and this new dark age survivors to the point of collapse.But all is not lost. This is not just a story detailing the implosion of a fragile society, but a blueprint for how we might prepare before catastrophe strikes and how we rebuild afterwards. More important than governmental theories, Fortress Farm follows common people doing the best they can to defend and care for their families in a chaotic world, each trying to build a better life for their loved ones.Get more information on the series at www.RedHawkRepublic.com

"A wonderful and very difficult take on future American history..." Twelve years after the electronic world ended with the Great Reset, leaders of the Red Hawk Republic find themselves facing the same problems as their predecessors. Territorial claims, fights over scarce resources, and religious divisions cause misunderstandings that might prove deadly to the fragile peace they've worked so hard to maintain. Complicating their world is a new storm on the horizon. The jihadists of the Northern Caliphate seek to expand their influence over the fertile farm ground once making up the heart of the United States. The Republic's brilliant engineers do their best to create new machines, and resurrect ancient ones, to help fight enemies that out number the Red Hawks ten to one. The Hamilton family must once more rely on instinct and tough decisions to further their goal of a new and broader Republic. Success will only be achieved by unifying all Free States into one force capable of beating back the threats surrounding them. But can they get those who seek their own agendas to grasp the bigger picture in time to fend off the coming invasion? Unseen forces that understand what really caused the Reset are on the move, preparing for a new power structure in regions of the world unaffected by natural catastrophes already beginning around the world. While the leaders of the Republic know there are hidden agendas, important pieces are being withheld by allies. The impact of that information will be critical to controlling the survivors of the human race. Can the Founder overcome his own devastating injuries to hold their tentative union together long enough to create an Eternal Republic? Or will empires and theocracies once again dictate the future all of mankind? Against the Storm begins the next trilogy in the Fortress Farm series.
