The grid has gone dark, and the planet’s population, cut to the bone. The Mackinac Bridge is the iron key to Michigan. Various groups—Eco-Elves, Virals, Rangers, and Indigenous—battle in Dark Straits for regional control.

In Sudden Quiet: Book II, gangs of Virals are bossed by “Sharkey,” the CEO of Panzer Pharmaceuticals, who seeks to carve out a Great Lakes fiefdom.

Panzer’s ghoulish paramilitary, the Aghori, raid Washington D.C., torture ELF extremists, and sabotage the Line 5 oil pipeline beneath the Straits. Foster siblings, Miin and Mukwa, flex their

green powers, channeling nature’s resurgence to combat infection and petro-pollution.

Dark Straits is a thrilling expansion of the trilogy, pushing readers into deep and dangerous waters.
