Dead Energy. The Alex Cave Series book 1.

When his wife was murdered during a mission, Alex Cave quit the CIA for a less stressful life as a geophysics instructor at a small college in Montana. At least, that was his plan.

While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, Alex hears a Mayday call and sees a brilliant flash of neon blue light surround an oil tanker. He changes course to help and discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has mysteriously vanished without a trace.

The lack of fuel keeps basic necessities from reaching the inner cities, pitting human against human in a desperate attempt to survive the madness spreading across the planet. Harold Woolley, a mild-mannered man with a domineering wife and two teenagers, gets caught up in the struggle and his family makes it to a survivalist camp, but it's not what he expected. The new leader is sadistic and Harold is forced to find the courage to save their lives.

Alex's only clue is dollar-size crystal, which under a high-powered microscope, appears to be alive! Find out what happens by grabbing your copy now!
