A post apocalyptic attack sends a police officer into a series of events that could change the course of history.
"Buck is an Army veteran and police officer working in the metropolitan DC area. He is at his wits' end. He hates his job and needs a break. As he is preparing to start a much-needed two-week vacation, he wakes up to find that his life is about to take a drastic turn. When Buck learns that the electricity has gone out, he discovers that it is not an isolated incident but that the electricity has gone out everywhere. As the days turn into weeks, Buck finds himself surrounded by a community that is not only ill-prepared for a disaster of this magnitude but a community that is desperate enough to go to any level to obtain the things that they need to survive, even if that means killing their own neighbors. Plunged into a new world where his life is quite literally a fight for survival, Buck decides that his chances of living are better in a suburban area. Deciding to escape the volatile, densely populated city, he makes his way to the rural countryside that he once called home. But once there, Buck finds that things aren't much better. Thrust into a desperate battle, he learns of a plot by an unexpected enemy to take control of the country he loves. Forced to make life and death decisions, he finds that his choices could not only change his life and the lives of his loved ones, but they could change the course of history as well."

Great first book
Fast action book. Read in one day (I’m retired). Enjoyed the fact it highlights actual reality in a situation that could/will happen. The lead characters reminded me of real hero/villain people of history. Will look forward to the authors next endeavors.

Completely believable story, an epic! Written with excellent word pictures reminiscent to the works of Stephen King. I hope we get the chance to enjoy more books by this knowledgeable author. A huge thumbs up!
Entertaining and thought provoking
This is an excellent read. It’s fast paced action makes it impossible to put the book down. Mr. Ciancio’s military and police background stand out in the technical accuracy of the weapons and tactics he describes in this story of survival in post apocalyptic life. His writing makes the reader question whether one could prepare oneself to live in such a frightening (and possible) new world.
Watched the video. Not much different from your description. You have good reviews on Amazon. I expect from the description that there is a lot of action, as well as from your three nameless reviews. It is sad that most apocalyptic scenarios like this end up in military action rather than benevolence. But it's all about protecting family from the bad guys, isn't it.
