Nemesis: Inception (A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Thriller)

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. - Mark Twain Lexi was an exceptional woman living an average life. Marred by the pain of a neglectful mother and the early death of her father, she could only find solace in shallow friendships and arm\‘s length relationships. The one person she loved and trusted was her younger sister, Carey, but even their relationship was strained. With no purpose and aimlessly wandering from job to job, she was on a path that would lead nowhere. Then the lights went out and life changed - for everyone. In the early morning a spectacular attack against the United States was carried out. It was the fulfillment of a grand conspiracy that would leave millions dead and many more millions on a trajectory towards a fate worse than death. The super-EMP would destroy the power grid and leave most electrical devices useless. With the infrastructure devastated and the government incapacitated, Lexi would find her purpose, but the cost would be greater than she could have ever imagined.
