Before the EMP hits, before a crushing storm arrives, a package from Colt McDaniel’s brother is hand-delivered to his house, upending his entire world. What Colt discovers inside the box is an item that shakes him to his core. A tyrant from his past is coming, and all hell is coming with him.

More alarming to Colt than the item in the box is his brother's cryptic message: You need to be who you were, who I was, not who you are now. His brother was a sullied man. Colt once was as well. He managed to break free of his past, however, vowing never to return to that side of himself. But then the power went out, people began to panic, and society seemed to crumble overnight.

As Colt, his wife Faith, and their dog, Roscoe, shelter in place, they not only work to understand the nature of the EMP and the threats of a grid-down scenario, they must take up arms against both local threats and a beast from the past. All this while fortifying their home and trying to survive what feels like the mother of all storms.

While suffering inclement weather, a surge of grid-down violence, and his brother’s enemies, Colt scrambles to figure a way out of town, find his three kids and bring them all to safety.

All this before the murder.

Follow Colt and Faith McDaniel, and their dog Roscoe—ordinary, small-town Kentucky folks—as they fight to survive and find their family. These Times of Retribution is a breathtaking roller-coaster ride into the apocalypse, and a grid-down tale of resilience, human strength, and the bonds of family.
