Description
What do you do when the whole world stops?
When everything you've come to depend upon--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 and life is forever different, the dream looks more like a nightmare--one from which she and her family may not wake up alive.
Lexie Martin's farm 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 living 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?
READERS SAY:
REALLY ENJOYED IT!
"I really enjoyed PULSE! It gives a unique twist in the genre of post grid living as it shows life through the eyes of teenage girls. L.R. 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."

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 removed). Holy cow, guess I better invest in a rifle! Great book. (I just finished reading it at 1:30am!)

A PAGE TURNER!
"PULSE is a page turner..! I wanted to know what would happen to the characters and their families, and you will, too. 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 the times we live in from a different angle and contemplate what your own response to such a disaster would be."
Joy Bice, Author, Pastor's Wife, Sovereign Grace Church
RIVETING!
L.R. Burkard's PULSE is a riveting story of the effects of an EMP that takes place in the United States. Centering on the lives of three different families, Burkard accurately captures the complexities of life without electricity as well as other hardships.. I found her story chock-full of clever and ingenious ways of dealing with the disaster. Blended with loss and hope, PULSE is full of surprises, making it a great read. Considering the times we are in, I find it a must read for the church.

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. Told from the point of view of three teens in very different situations, it contrasts a Christian worldview with others in a crisis. Each story gradually unfolds and includes carefully researched details that make you really feel what it would be like to go through this!"

EXCITING!
PULSE is exciting, thought provoking, and hard to put down! I enjoyed every page!
