Publisher's summary

An EMP is a high-tech means of killing people the old fashioned way - through starvation, disease, and societal collapse. (Dr. Peter Vincent Pry)

They never saw it coming.

The most technologically advanced missile defense system in the world...Thousands of eyes, both human and artificial intelligence trained on the Axis of Evil - North Korea and Iran.

The one direction they didn't look was up.

Nuclear Armageddon hangs over America like a mighty sword as the Lone Star Series continues with book two, Beyond Borders.

American political leaders failed to heed the warnings as two bullies of the world unite. North Korea and Iran - the Axis of Evil - bring the battle to American soil.

Most of the country is without power, and the new president must decide whether to retaliate and risk escalation of hostilities or focus on recovery to minimize loss of life.

Through careful, prudent planning and protection of their power grid, the state of Texas emerged relatively unscathed from the EMP attack. But what now?

New borders are defined.

Americans will try to cross them.

Texans will defend them.

Author Bobby Akart masterfully intertwines historical fact with plausible fiction in this postapocalyptic EMP thriller, Beyond Borders.

The Lone Star Series is a thought-provoking, gut-wrenching look into a postapocalyptic country devastated by nuclear destruction.

Would you be ready to make the tough decisions to protect your family and survive?

Author's note regarding PG-13 rating: The Lone Star Series does not contain strong language. It is intended to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, including teens and young adults. Although some scenes depict the realistic threat our nation faces from an EMP attack and nuclear destruction, and the societal collapse which will result in the aftermath, it does not contain graphic scenes typical of other books in the postapocalyptic genre. I believe more of our young people need to lead a preparedness lifestyle. Studies show that our millennials do not have any of the basic survival skills. By writing this series free of vulgarities and gratuitous sexual innuendo, I've intended it to be suitable for everyone. Thanks.

Fabulous story and enjoyed a new (to me) narrator

Bobby Akart is truly a masterful writer and seems almost prophetic in his books. We will just have to hope that not everything he writes comes to pass. I love all of Mr. Akart’s work, but this series really hits home with me. Not only do I have an emotional attachment with the characters, but I am drawn into the story and feel like I am one of them. I’m traveling with the rodeo kids, weary and scared; I’m trying to hold it together at home on the ranch with Miss Lucy; I’m facing big decisions and Texas proud with Governor Burnett.

In addition to the gripping story is the research that had to have gone into it. I’m subconsciously learning how to prepare for incidents, should any occur, and keep my family safe. The lessons learned are invaluable, and mixed with the entertainment of a fantastic series, I can’t recommend it more.

This series is my first encounter with Sean Runnete as a narrator. I feel like he has really connected with the story during this book and I truly enjoyed his performance.
