The Ridge Plan

In the dead of a Pacific Northwest winter, a cascading national blackout plunges the country into darkness. No power. No phones. No help coming.

For Tom and Claire Donovan, this is the moment they’ve trained for. But as they rally their ridge-top neighbors into a resilient alliance, they discover their late friend Walter left behind far more than anyone expected — a meticulously detailed Ridge Plan with hidden layers, encrypted references, and connections that suggest this collapse may be only the beginning.

What starts as a story of community survival and neighborly trust quickly evolves into something deeper. As looters prowl and shadowy, coordinated threats close in, the Ridge must transform from a quiet neighborhood into a fortified stronghold. The real question isn’t just whether they can hold the line — but how much Walter truly knew.

The Ridge Plan is a gripping, realistic post-apocalyptic thriller packed with authentic survival details, tactical tension, and powerful human drama. Perfect for fans of One Second After by William R. Forstchen, Going Home by A. American, Lights Out by David Crawford, the Survivalist series by Dr. Arthur Bradley, and readers who love realistic prepper fiction with strong community, tactical elements, and surprising twists.
