I just finished a series of books by T.L. Payne. The series
is called "Days of Want," but each books has its own title. The series is about an EMP attack with the Chinese and Russians invading the West coast. It is also about the attempt to overthrow the government and put a very evil man in charge. A former soldier had worked with his family to be ready for just such an attack. The story follows his daughter, Maddie, his son, Zach, and his widowed wife, Beth. The stories are fascinating and scary at the same time. I don't think we will have EMP attack in our lifetime, but we need to be ready for just about anything. With the weather the way it has been lately, we all need to be prepared to go a few days without. The ice storm in 2009 had us without electricity for 11 days. The sound of generators could be heard throughout the neighborhood, but they can't run everything. We have a gas-powered generator, so that helps. They wouldn't even work with an EMP attack. Now, I am not sitting around wringing my hands worrying about such an event. It is interesting and educational to be aware.
