★★★★★ 47 reviewers said “couldn’t put it down”
Warning: “one more chapter” leads to many more.
A solar storm kills the grid. Planes fall, cars die, the lights aren’t coming back — and a small Mississippi town has three days before the rules change. Readers say they were hooked in ten pages and done by 3 a.m.
- Finished in one sitting — then ordered the other four before dinner.
- Grounded, research-driven collapse: no zombies, no superheroes, just people you’ll recognize.
- Five books so far, and a twist readers call genius. Start here.

What readers say
“Be careful enjoying The Catalyst Series before bed on work nights, ‘one more chapter’ quickly leads to many more.”
— Aaron Wilson, Amazon“One of those stories where you lose track of time while reading it. One minute you're going to put it down and go to bed and the next it's 3 hours later.”
— Robert 251, Amazon“I was so far gone that my husband finally gave up expecting me to answer queries like, ‘When are we going to eat?’”
— Miz J, Amazon“The book hooked me in the 1st 10 pages and never let me sleep much.”
