Do it.




Do it for me.




Do it for all of us.




Life is hard after the EMP wipes out everything electronic in North America, setting American civilization back 200 years. People have to endure lawlessness, starvation, lack of drinkable water, poor sanitation, widespread sickness and disease, little communication and a fuel shortage. Now the survivors face new challenges, as political leaders are steering society in new and disturbing directions.



In this dangerous time, Brady tries to remain vigilant. But when a gang of thugs raids a small town, he finds himself in the middle of a savage gunfight. He stands up for what he thinks is right and is hailed as a hero, but he doesn't feel like one. His resulting notoriety puts him in situations that force him to face difficult questions:

How far will you go to protect your society?




Your freedom?




Your friends?




Your family?




Your life?


See what readers are saying about the RUNNER BOY series: Life as we've known it is over...what do we do now?

The idea or theme of the book is fascinating since almost everyone has thought to them selves, "what would I do if there is a complete break down of the social order?" This is a fun read which follows one boy and his family after social order crumbles and he and the family have to learn how to survive in a new world. There are plenty of questions and situations left unanswered which will allow for an intriguing sequel.

Fast moving and timely

A sit on the edge of your seat adventure that weaves family dynamics in with an apocalyptic event and centers on a resourceful and very human character responding to events he can't control. A great read-and especially applicable in these times. Life and death choices, survival and a mission during chaos. Sit back and buckle up.

Well-paced action!

Great page-turner! Lots of action and well-paced. I was disappointed when I came to the end and wanted more!

What would I do?

Liked this even better than Jay Mackey's first book. Great pacing and lots of action. Guarantee that just a few pages into the book, you'll be asking yourself what in the world would I do if this happened to me!

Excellent page-turner

Loved it! A page turner. Can't wait for the next one!!!
