The False Recovery (The Ash Commonwealth) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The systems are failing. The most dangerous mistake is believing they can still be trusted. Daniel Mercer understands supply chains, contracts, and the comforting authority of accurate numbers. When a state-aligned Iranian cyberattack corrupts payments, freight records, and digital identities, those skills become the only tools he has to reunite a family scattered across Central Kentucky. Banks contradict themselves. Fuel becomes a favor. Officials promise restoration while every promise depends on another failing system. The crisis also exposes what Daniel hoped to keep hidden. His marriage is close to breaking. His debts threaten the family home. His children no longer accept instructions as proof that he knows what he is doing. Yet every worsening shortage pushes them to rely on him. Then limited card transactions return. Stores reopen under guard. Carter Vale offers medicine, protection, and a place inside an organized distribution network, but only if the Mercers surrender most of what they stored for themselves. Laura sees a transfer of control disguised as recovery. Daniel sees the best remaining chance to keep her alive. As Central Kentucky reaches for normal life, Daniel must decide whether security lies in keeping supplies close or trusting one more institution to honor its records when it matters. The False Recovery is Book One of The Ash Commonwealth, a serialized post-apocalyptic political thriller series intended to be read in order.
