2020
The world died the day the power grid failed. Civilizations crumbled and life ground to a halt. Those who survived the transition became...something else. Two years have passed since the lights went out. Crow and his small group of survivors have done their best to forage supplies and live off the land but danger looms in every shadow. Marauding bands of Traders are on their trail, eager to capture them and worse. Fleeing, the band stumble upon a secret they were never meant to learn. One capable of transforming the world again this time with dire consequences. Crow is forced underground and discovers a forgotten world. Entire cities thriving with artificial intelligence still exist, forcing humanity down through politics, fear, and oppression. Trapped between an enemy they can't outrun and one they don't understand, Crow and the others stand at the edge. One path leads back into the growing wastelands. The other into a fate darker than any imagined. The choice is before them. Dive in headfirst or burn out with the light.

The battle for freedom has begun.
For a handful of reluctant heroes, it's a chance to retake their world. Much has changed since the fall of civilization. Forced underground, the oppressed remnants of humanity struggle to survive. It's a bleak existence, but things are in motion that could shatter the system of tyranny. Crow has transcended mortality, uploading his consciousness to the digital cloud. With newfound abilities, he's embroiled in a revolutionary plan to overthrow the Capitol. It's a dangerous time, for enemies across the GUC will stop at nothing to retain their power. As a final assault looms, the only chance for victory is to send this select group on a virtual suicide-mission. Failure dooms humanity to a lifetime of misery and servitude, while success offers a narrow path to return to the surface and reclaim the earth for all mankind. During the mortal struggle, the reason for the collapse of society is revealed to Crow, along with the key to integrating technology for humanity to build a better world. He will face his fears and attempt to survive the ultimate test in the thrilling conclusion to THE GRID SERIES.
