Fight for power

Walters, Eric, 1957-


"The enemy is everywhere"--Cover. After sixty-six days of a catastrophic global blackout, life in the suburbs is not what it used to be for Adam and his fortified neighborhood of Eden Mills.

Like his police chief mom and others, Adam will continue to follow Herb's lead. But when the next threat comes from an unexpected direction, nobody is ready for it. And someone is going to pay the price--because of Adam's mistakes and mistaken trust.
