Description

What do you do when the whole world... stops? When everything--transportation, grocery shopping, cell phones, the internet--comes to a sudden, crashing halt? Welcome to PULSE. Three teenage girls and their families must survive when America's worst nightmare actually occurs: The failure of the electric grid due to an electromagnetic pulse. To outsiders, Andrea Patterson has the American dream house and family. But when the unthinkable happens, the dream looks more like a nightmare--one from which she and her family may not wake up alive. Lexie Martin's homesteading family has never been cool like Andrea's, but they've been prepping for disaster for years. For them, the world didn't stop; it just slowed down. The one thing they didn't prepare for? A psycho school bus driver who wants what they've got. Sarah Weaver, friend of Andrea and Lexie, lives on the top floor of a ten-story apartment building. When things went black, she thought it could be romantic, like in the time of Jane Austen. She was wrong. Has the world collapsed forever? Who will survive when technology fails? Perhaps even more important, "Who will get to eat?" FROM THE AUTHOR: Told in journal-style prose by three 16 year old girls, PULSE takes readers into a chilling possible future for Americans while hitting right in the gut with honest, if at times heartbreaking, detail. Andrea, Lexie and Sarah bare heart and soul as they share what they encounter after the pulse. As even the U.S. government is concerned about the possibility of a catastrophic EMP, this book is not only timely but compelling. I wrote it as a warning and a wake-up call. PULSE should be the next HARBINGER for this generation. READERS SAY: REALLY ENJOYED IT! "Really enjoyed PULSE! It's a unique twist to the post-apocalyptic genre. Burkard does a fantastic job depicting what life might be like for those that are prepared--and those that are anything but. (If you wonder why some people bother "prepping" read this book!) I also enjoyed the strong emphasis on faith and how focused on Christ some of the characters were." Chris Ray, PreparedChristian.NET HEART POUNDING! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! My heart pounded at the first sight of the marauding gang and didn't stop till...! (spoiler). Holy cow, guess I better invest in a rifle! Great book. (I just finished reading it at 1:30am!) Christine K., Reader A PAGE TURNER! "PULSE is a page turner!... The world has become increasingly dependent on technology for just about everything. What if all of that technology failed? How would we survive, what things would it impact? PULSE is a fascinating answer to that question... You won't find all happy endings in this book but you will find a storyline that makes you think and consider... what your own response to such a disaster would be." Joy Bice, Author, Pastor's Wife HAD MY WIFE READ IT "Just finished the book and had my wife read it as well. Definitely a page turner to pick up as soon as you can! Characters are really well developed and draw you into the story. Some might classify it as 'prepper fiction.' We just classify it as a good story." Brian B., The SouthernPreppers.com RIVETING! L.R. Burkard's PULSE is a riveting story of the effects of an EMP in the U.S. Chock-full of clever and ingenious ways of dealing with the disaster, blended with loss and hope, PULSE is full of surprises... Considering the times we are in, I find it a "must read" for the church. Gina Groeger, Ordained Minister of Music REALISTIC AND FRIGHTENING! "I loved this book! L.R. Burkard takes a realistic and frightening look at what would happen if an electromagnetic pulse hit the U.S. ...Carefully researched details make you really feel what it would be like to go through this!" Carol Riffle, High School Science Teacher
