An EMP is a high-tech means of killing people the old fashioned way - through starvation, disease, and societal collapse. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry They never saw it coming. The most technologically advanced missile defense system in the world ... Thousands of eyes, both human and artificial intelligence ... Trained on the Axis of Evil - North Korea and Iran. The one direction they didn't look, was up. The Lone Star Series continues as seventeen-time best selling author, Bobby Akart (The Blackout Series, The Pandemic Series, The Boston Brahmin series and the Prepping for Tomorrow series) intertwines historical fact with plausible fiction in BEYOND BORDERS, book two of The Lone Star Series, a post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller. American political leaders failed to heed the warnings. In the past, nations like Iran, Russia, and China had used the disruption of a nation's power grid and critical infrastructure as a precursor to war. In the Lone Star Series, two bullies of the world unite, North Korea and Iran, the Axis of Evil, to bring the battle to American soil. As a result, nuclear Armageddon hangs over us like a mighty sword. A newly sworn-in president is forced to make a decision. Retaliate, and risk escalation of hostilities, or focus on recovery, to minimize loss of life. Meanwhile, political opportunism abounds as Texas looks to solidify its position on the world stage. Through careful, prudent planning, the state has emerged from the EMP attack relatively unscathed. But what's the next step? Borders will be defined and defended. Because once established, one thing is for certain, those beyond those borders will test them, if you have what they want. The Lone Star Series is a through-provoking, gut-wrenching look into a post-apocalyptic world devastated by nuclear destruction. Will you be ready to make the tough decisions to protect your family and survive?
