Flight of the Wild Geese: A Down Grid Journey of Redemption

A cataclysmic solar storm causes the most devastating calamity in human history. All modern machines and electronics are suddenly ruined and inoperable, crashing civilization into the dark ages. The fabric of modern society unravels in mere days as the complex network of communication, transportation, and food distribution is permanently destroyed. Panic ensues as food shortages and hunger overtake the major population centers. Riots, looting, and anarchy begin in the inner cities, but soon spread to the suburbs. With the worst winter on record hitting the eastern United States, it soon becomes clear that in just a few months most everyone will be dead. Even before the solar storm disaster struck, Adam Reynolds was a broken man, falling deep into the dark abyss of alcoholism. As a former Green Beret, he had seen enough war and suffering for a lifetime. At the time of the solar storm, he was living as a recluse in the woods of Maryland, forty miles north of Washington, D.C. At first, he felt as though he could ride out the coming famine and anarchy by relying on his well-stocked liquor cabinet and food supply. But circumstances compel Adam to pack what he can carry and to start a trek to flee the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of starving refugees. Adam's journey turns out to be cathartic as he goes through intense alcoholic withdrawals and fighting for his life against vicious survivors.While the effects of the solar storm were killing most of the planet, it had saved Adam from drinking himself to death. With each passing day his strength and hardiness increased. As his metamorphous continued Adam approached the point of turning feral. Then Adam comes upon a band of brutal survivors chasing a lone Amish woman in the woods of Pennsylvania with evil intentions. Returning to his spirit of humanity, Adam intervenes and saves her. In saving this young woman he now has a traveling companion. Together Adam and Rebecca will face the worst of nature and the worst of human nature.
