Emergent — Stephen Arseneault

Take away power and communications and you nullify the infrastructure that enables our civilization. Billions would die from starvation alone. Life on Earth would be shaken to its core.As altruistic as most of us believe ourselves to be, we would rapidly become our own worst enemies. In the event of a collapse, most would go to any length to survive.After scientists using the Large Hadron Collider discover dark matter, the world is plunged into chaos. Massive waves of electromagnetic interference, coming from space, take out all grid power and forms of communication the world over. Cities go dark, food and clean-water supplies are quickly used up. Marauders rule the highways. Fearing invasion, our militaries are ordered to stay at their bases. Our politicians go underground.This eight book adventure begins as a modern day, Human survival story, and then morphs into an all out fight for rule of our section of the Milky Way. If you love reading apocalypse-turned-science-fiction, and reading late into the night, this saga was made for you!
