SURVIVING ABE: A Climate-Fiction Novel

Late September weather turns deadly when snow catches elk hunter Gus in the Colorado Rockies, East Texas floods surround bicycle-trekker Andy, and a Chesapeake Bay tornado threatens sailor Tess. Winter’s first major storm is spawned in the skies over the U.S. Southwest as warm Pacific air collides with the frigid winds of a Polar Vortex. Named Abe, the tempest rapidly intensifies and drifts eastward, paralyzing everything in its path.
But just as watches and warnings go up, static fills the airwaves and the power grid fails. Civility unravels as stranded people realize waiting for rescue is no longer an option. A realistic portrayal of human behavior after the ultimate glitch destroys technology crucial for life in the 21-Century.
