"A major page turner." - Verified Amazon Customer

Kwynn spends most of her time on an illegal breach of TheRanch, an experimental computer platform built by her long absent father. Fatefully, there are other unexplained phenomenon at TheRanch and because of her latest hack, Kwynn exposes her location to The Directive, a clandestine government agency, who wants answers from Kwynn... but there's another super secret society encircling and protecting her. Now, Kwynn's gotta run to keep her freedom and unlock her destiny.

All the while, unnamed terrorists escalate a series of exploratory attacks on the power grid. The ensuing blackout debilitates an area more populace than 41 individual states putting Los Angeles on the verge of riots.

Glenn, a middle management electric company man, must stop the grid intrusions. For his job. For his daughter's life saving medications. To save his missing cat.

And, Murray, a private investigator, is stuck sneaking pictures of a minor starlet from the bushes until he nicks a single bit of crucial information. The Directive and a pair of 'droids are looking for that info and he figures there must be a payday in here somewhere. All he's looking for is the cash to retire to Costa Rica. Problem is he could pay with his life.

REAPING INDEPENDENCE is an account of a massive blackout following an ensemble cast as their twisting paths merge over seven days to battle 'droids, AI, The Directive, terrorists and a crumbling infrastructure to save Los Angeles with a little mojo and a lot of moxy.

Los Angeles may never be the same.
