In a world without power, can one man protect his son?
On the five-year anniversary of his wife Hannah's disappearance, small-town cop Noah Sheridan takes his son Milo to a local ski resort for some much needed father-son time.
In a blink, the power grid goes out. Phones and cars stop working. What starts as a day of holiday fun soon turns into a deadly fight for survival.
And when an impending blizzard cuts off the town from the rest of civilization, it'll take everything Noah has to keep his family and friends alive.
When the country goes dark, ordinary people find themselves facing the end of the world as they know it. With society collapsing before their eyes, they'll have to risk everything to protect their home and the people they love.

These books are too good. I am so tired from not being able to stop listening to them when I should be sleeping. Wonderfully written and narrarated. 100% recommend!
Glad you like them!
I know what you mean. I'm doing same thing. I love this series. Helps me get away from thinking about the pain inn
My spine. I need the escape
Just came from book one. If ghost dies ill never forgive you.
I promise the dog lives. That's the only spoiler I'll give you. :-)
Same lol
@@KylaStoneAuthor
Thank you for that 🌟👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I just came from book 1 and was about to say the same thing lol 😂 👍🏼❤
@KylaStoneAuthor do you have a dog like Ghost? You know exactly how they are!
I cant help but think the author of this series has been a soldier, is a prepper, and (hopefully not..) has been kidnapped. Maybe she's just super good at research, but definitely knows the feeling of hearing "blood roaring in your ears." Great imagination and writing. And the reader is really good! About 10K times better than the automated computer voices.
Her attention to detail is mind blowing - in all aspects of her story telling - which makes everything she writes, believable. Just look how she describes the massacre in the church? Good heavens, one could almost believe she personally lived through it! I was scared to death.
You made my day! Thankfully, I have not been kidnapped, but I do work really hard to put myself in the shoes of my characters and think and feel like they would. I'm so glad that you liked it!!!!
Thank you so much!!!! Your kind words made my day. :-)
@KylaStoneAuthor you also have an incredible amount of medical knowledge. I love when you go into detail, because it helps the reader understand what the character is physically feeling. For this series, it makes the reader who has no experience with snow learn how dangerous snow can be! Yes, snow is beautiful but I've never had to deal with it like this.
@@KylaStoneAuthor I just started reading this series and I can’t put it down! It’s got me back into reading daily.
This is incredibly generous. Not only is this amazing book here on TH-cam for free but I’ve only encountered 4 ads during the entire telling. Allowing me to be fully immersed. Thank you so much for this. I just ordered your whole set online ❤ your story telling abilities are incredible.
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that!
I can’t believe I get to listen to this for free!! Great book!
Glad you enjoy it! You're welcome.
Well surprise, surprise between book 1 and 2 book 3 is gonna be one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Thank you so much for the free books.
It's definitely a rollercoaster ride! Or trapped on a ski lift in a blizzard ride, lol.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Stuck on a ski lift @@KylaStoneAuthor
Truly riveting stories! Thank you so much for the uploads!
Just completed book one and gotta say: Ghost is a beloved character for this story!
You'll love him in the rest of the series!!!!
I spend 4 hours a day driving and books like these make it enjoyable . Much appreciated!
You're very welcome!
I listened to this at work for a week. It was on a boot leg channel and disappeared. This is amazing
Someone else had stolen my copywrited work and posted it. But this is from me, so you can listen for free and know that you're supporting the author. Thank you!
@@KylaStoneAuthor it is a fantastic work and it has kept me glued and I can’t wait for more. Thank you.
@@KylaStoneAuthor❤
Is Book 3 out yet? I have really enjoyed your books!
I've listened to tons of audiobooks and I have to say, this author is amazing, the way she describes everything in such detail that you feel the fear, the tension, it's absolutely fantastic. Also the narrator is unbelievable, she kept me wanting more while sitting on the edge of my seat, totally understanding who is speaking the way each character has a different voice. 100%can say I'd recommend this series to everyone and must say I can't wait to get into #3. Thank you for sharing this incredible series !!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the series so far. :-)
Thanks!
I lived in Michigan for 57 years. This story takes place in my stomping grounds.
Up and down the west coast. My fathers family was from th UP.
Also i was blessed with two Pyrenees mountain dogs. We used to ski jor with them.
You have nailed the brutality of michigan winters. Its hard to understand that kind of cold, the storms and lake effect unless you havelived through them. You can feel your blood freezing under your skin in extreme weather. You dont get the cold out of your bones until july.
Im loving this story. Excellent writing and narrator.
Thank you so much! Michigan winters can be so brutal! I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
You are an amazing author. You're characters are so well developed and relatable. Great story line and a great pace. Thank you!
Aww thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
I love disaster movies. Tripped over this flicking through rubbish.
This is an amazing story.!!
Thankyou 😊
I love this book!
I grew up in a cabin in Montana. No running water or electricity. That was 40 years ago. You have a lot of servial tips in these books. I hope people realize that they need to plan ahead and prepare for life without the luxuries they take for granted. You really did a great job bringing life lessons into a great story!❤
These freakin books have me hooked. The little things that most people look over she details perfectly. Great job again
Thank you so much!
I just discovered your series not long ago, thankyou so much for making the audiobooks freely available it's so generous! Are you able to tag when each chapter begins on this video at all so it's easy for listeners to find what chapter they left off last? Again thankyou and looking forward reading the rest of this series ❤
I second that, i mean either way it's a great book and amazingly talented author and narrator too! But definitely could help to have them marked, especially when we use them at night to help us relax enough to fall asleep. Problem is for some of us with great books like this one I always wind up staying awake listening much longer I intended to 😂 cause I don't feel tired anymore when I'm really drawn into the storyline, just like we are actually there. Because the descriptions are so detailed and accurate! So when I do finally fall asleep , I forgot to check the time stamp to pick up where I left off🤦 so I spend 30+ minutes trying to get back to where I left off, all time I could have spent listening to these fantastic books! 👏 You definitely have a new fan!! 🥇🏆😍
awww thank you so much!!! It's always a huge compliment when a listener loses sleep, lol!
I will try to do that, I admit I'm not great at technology and new to TH-cam. I'm not sure how to tag new chapters.
So far this is turning into one of my favorites. Love this. You are telling me this, like just to me. I love this, please for the love of all that is holy dont stop this story. Thank you
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! There are seven books total, so it does end eventually, but not yet. :-)
They all end lol. Great works
You mean for all that is HOLY S#it, For all that is HOLY, GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
@@fentonpettigrew471 keyboard commando at it again. If you don't like my words, don't read them.
Well, with all that's HOLY, YOU DO THE SAME, if you dont like these words, dont read them, Idit
1 book per day. Almost finished with book 2 now. It's very addictive. Thank you for such creativity. I'm on the edge of my seat with no idea what will come. I can not wait for more. 😊
That's what I like to hear!
This gal is good. Her writing is that rare style that has a personality, or depth to it, thats draws you right in. Appreciate this book being available ❤
Thank you!
Book one had me hooked and i only started it yesterday. Cancelled the weekend for book two and im not sorry I did because it was bloody brilliant! Book three HERE I COME!
Love this! Happy listening!!!!
I've binged on audiobooks for the last 3wks! It's like an addiction when you get a good author
Loved how Book 1 & Book 2 are so fast paced and yet developed every character! Looking forward to Book3!
Happy listening!
Hello Scott didn’t say nothing about second book but I’m here😂 wonderful story. Love the characters.
lol thanks for sticking around! Book Three drops tonight or tomorrow!
😂
To anyone searching, take a chance with this one. You'll know immediately how good it is! Its absolutely awesome!!
Thank you!
Edge of Madness is one of those books that leaves you staring at a wall for legit five minutes after finishing it and questioning humanity and morality long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s not just a survival story-it’s a raw, unfiltered exploration of how crises strip us bare, revealing the very best and worst of who we are. Goddam.
Quirky, sarcastic Quinn who i loved very much. Watching Noah grapple with the loss of Hannah, trying to raise his son in a world that seems determined to crush them-it’s devastating, but also so full of heart. And Milo? Oh, my god. That kid’s resilience and maturity at only eight years old left me floored. You can see every bit of his mom’s grit in him.
The way the book handles the layers of danger-from politics in Falls Creek to the sheer brutality of humanity itself-is masterful. It’s a stark reminder that we don’t need disasters like EMPs to destroy us. We’re often our own worst enemies.
This books keeps leveling up, balancing gut-wrenching emotion with edge-of-your-seat suspense.
Also can we talk about how incredibly generous it is of the author to put the whole series audiobook on TH-cam for free???? I swear i won't skip a single add.
This was what I needed after missing dystopia and post apocalyptic settings for so long.
Thank goodness NO ZOMBIES Great creative writing @kylaStoneAuthor looking forward to more of your work 🙏
Thank you so much!
Kyla stone this is excellent work. This played like a movie in my mind.
Thank you so much! I hope you get a movie deal x
You're very welcome! I hope so, someday!
To my fellow Michigander author Kyla Stone. You have a new fan. This is the best Post-Apocalyptic series I have read/listened to. Fully developed intelligent characters, A Great story line ( Scary as this could happen , but Great ) The narrator is great too , She brings the story to life. Also for some strange reason Book 3 is marked as book 1 too. For my fellow readers/ listeners just look at the time posted for each book.. ie.. Bk #1-- 10:03:06...Bk #2--8:14:33...Bk #3--9:18:22 and The picture on the cover of each book ( Pick On the left ) depicts the main characters of that book.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for pointing that out. My mistake for working on the video well past midnight. I've fixed it. I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. Michiganders are the best! :-)
I'm excited for book 3!
Thank you! I'm putting it up today or tomorrow at the latest. I'll release a new one every 3-4 weeks. :-)
I'm almost 2 hours in, and it's great, but I'd sure like to know that Ghost is alright.
This is more great work from you.
The only spoiler I'll reveal is that the dog survives. :-)
@KylaStoneAuthor that's a spoiler I needed. I'd be furious if he died. I'm always near tears when dogs get hurt in stories. I'm a big softie
Just finished book one, went straight to book two! This series is great; getting me through a pretty gnarly weekend of 12 hour shifts at work ❤
Wow Love this series, and it’s the first book of this type written by a woman, you nailed it!!!! I’ll be looking out for all your books now!
Thank you so much!
Im so addicted.. i listen to alot of audible books..this series is by far one of my favorites..
I love to hear this!
Love the first two books ready for book 3 please
Book three coming today or tomorrow!
Just started this book...I am so impressed with this author. Thank you for posting
You're very welcome! Make sure you start with book one, Edge of Collapse. :-)
@@KylaStoneAuthor I certainly did start with edge of collapse...you write so amazingly well...really enjoying this series!
I am addicted to this book series
That's what I like to hear!
Absolutely hooked on this series.
I love to hear that!
Totally awsome and that can't put that book down feeling. Great writing, dicriptive and it pulls you into the story.
Thank you!
Good writing and captivating story line, kept me up much longer than I should of!
That's what I like to hear!
Well it was the stuck on a chairlift that resonated with me, had several situations wile skiing, one was actually stuck on a chairlift in high winds and the other was when I was skiing with my daughter, she was five at the time and we had asked this lady the best way back to the resort as it was getting late, she pointed to this slope so we went down it, it then turned into a black run, Freya was only 5 so I got her down the slope but it took us ages, by the time we got down that bit it was dark, we then had to ski the last bit in the dark eventually making it to the cable car, we piled in but there was no-one around, about half way down it stopped, it was right over a river and rocks, we were stuck on it for an hour, I was crapping myself as it was getting very cold even in a cable car, there was no way we were getting out, I thought Oh My God, nobody watched us get on this thing, but eventually it started again but holy crap it was not a pleasant hour. Nether was being stuck on a chairlift, the drop was so big, was figuring if I could make the drop and if to leave my skies on or take them off as the slope below was very steep. Anyway that's why I was hooked. @@KylaStoneAuthor
LOVED the series on my first read, can't wait for 'read' #2 - super excited to refresh the series via audiobook!🎧
Hope you enjoy it!
It amazes me how a person can use particular words throughout a story to describe the events & emotional feelings of the characters. Then add a voice who puts deep emotions into those words…. An excellent book💫
Now to book 3 . Thank you 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Happy listening!
My two favorite books growing up were The Stand and Swans Song. Always was fascinated by the end of the world type scenarios.This series is great! Thank you so much!
Great story.I'm excited for book 3!😍
Thank you so much! I'll drop book three today or tomorrow!
Thanks for posting , have just finished book one and loved it ❤

I'm already in book 7 thank you so much!
So many of these types of books out and so many are excellent.
Book one was no exception, in fact my favorite that I’ve listened to in this post-apocalyptic, disaster genre.
Excellent author, excellent narrator.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
Just love these book. Yes I am another person loosing sleep to listen to this book. I definitely will be buying these in paper form.
Wow! This is great. I can't wait to find out what happens next.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
I’m almost at the end of book two. Great story and characters. Admittedly it might be an odd choice for Christmas listening. Thank you.
Thank you for gifting this great tale to us. This is getting me thru the longest (cabin fever) week in deep winter. You are now on my "short list":) of top authors. Looking forward now to filling a row on my bookshelf with your past and future works. You're pretty awesome.... keep it up!
Wow! You're so kind. I really appreciate that, thank you!
Why am I just now learning that the prednisone I was on as a kid until I was adult stunted my growth. I learn more about the medication I have been on from the internet than I ever have from my doctor.
That's unfortunate but often the case.
really enjoying these, you are a fine story teller, an artist
Thank you so much!
AWESOME Work!! The pace is great, just enough chatacter introspection without it droning on and on into their feelings for the next chapter like some of these books do.
Thank you for sharing your creations, can't wait to see what happens next! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the series, Quinn fighting the bad guys in the church trying to protect the kids has me almost crying 😭 GO QUINN
I was almost crying as I wrote that scene! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!!! Book Three is coming today or tomorrow. I'll put up a new release every 3-4 weeks.
Great author love Story narrator does great job
Thank you!
I'm on book 2 of the 2nd series ive listened to so far. The die hard patriot in me, hopeful for whatever future remains for this republic is entertained. Yet, a sobering look around tells anyone with a rational brain, things do not look good. Excellent writing on material and subject matter all too real these days. Even aware of things well before 09-11-01, its still suprising at times all the things that have transpired over the last couple decades
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Goodness the suspense!!!
lol happy listening!
These are actually amazing. Ive binged the two first in as many days. Cheers and thanks from Finland
You're so welcome! Happy listening!
I loved this!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, great read
Glad you enjoyed it!
Only on my second book, but so far, this is awesome!
Thank you so much!
Read book 1 it didn't disappoint thus far this one is even better so well written
Thank you👍
No problem 👍
Awesome book ma'am.
Thank you so much!
I "wish" someone would write a heroic "White Hat" the days of darkness and recovery with miraculous Tesla towers free energy and the US Constitutional military rounding up the criminals and immigrant traffickers post apocalyptic These are great stories BUT bring more to our hopes 🙏
I believe the depiction of an EMP in this series is bit exaggerated. But actually believable.
The way EMP works is pretty simple. If an enclosed conductor circuit is exposed to changing magnetic field, it gets electric current induced in in. Most of generators use that by rotating a coil of wire within a magnetic field.
However string current in a conductor also generated heat because of resistance.
So exposing a circuit to a situation where a powerful magnetic feild appears and then disappeared rapidly - a pulse - can induce really strong current in the circuit that in turn will generate a lot of heat - enough to melt or even evaporate most volnerable portions of those circuits.
So any device with a closed circuit is dead. And most modern devices don't actually turn off. They go into standby mode, leaving some rudimentary functions on. Like an led to indicate that it is connected to the grid. Against a normal power surge circuit breakers would have been enough, but an EMP might still be able to do enough damage to knock it out.
And then even devices that are actually turned off might not be safe. If you have a circuit that is actually broken, is actually acting the same way as a circuit closed with a stiff capacitor. And so currents will also be induced into it. Usually miniscule currents that need to be amplified to be noticeable - this is how radio communications work - but a strong enough pulse might fry them too.
Now to how the pulse can be generated.
A high altitude nuclear explosion can be a way, but there is a way to make it supercharged. With the help of earth's magneto sphere. We all know that magneto sphere deflects solar radiation and so we can live on this planet. But some of that radiation rather than being deflected and sent to the outer space is only deflected enough to enter orbit. And so there are areas of space around earth filled with those charged solar articles that accumulate there. The Van Allen belts.
Left as is they are pretty harmless. Like any crewed mission would want to get through them as quickly as possible and you can't really put a satelite there and expect it to work, but other than this not a big deal.
But if you launch a nuke and detonate it there, you can temporarily blow this stream of solar particles towards earth generating a monstrous EMP.
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Very good reading 💞
Yes, Stacy is awesome! Thank you!!
Just got finished with this one. I think I know who the bad guys will be in the next book, and I think there are more bad guys in town already than Noah realizes.
Thanks for listening!
Great books. Recommended @Idaho Hillbilly. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed them!
Love it ❤
great book
Thank you!
Im hooked Do you have this series available on Audible so we can buy it? Support from fans is the only way this can remain sustainable for any author that posts audiobooks free on TH-cam. I bought every book from Scott Medbury for this reason. Let me know where I can do that please! Keep up the awesome work. Stories like these Help me through my day Thank You!!!
Aww you are so sweet! I really appreciate the support. Yes, the series is available on Audible, Spotify, iTunes, and for sale on my website at www.payhip/kylastone. The link to the first book on Audible is: www.audible.com/pd/B086JQ83HH. Thank you again!
thank you!
@@KylaStoneAuthor
Be a good mini series..🤔🤔👍👍
I don't disagree!
I liked book 1, starting book 2 tonight.
I feel like this book goes along with another apocalypse audiobook I just finished. Near the end of that series they're talking about reclaiming towns from criminals and everybody who took over and all the evil crap people do. Well one of the towns they talk about was taken over by an evil woman who is the mayor or Governor or on the board for the city, or something like that, and when everything went to crap, the lady and her nephew basically took over like violent dictators. Pretty much fits with that series, just a different recollection of their apocalypse.
Not sure what book you're thinking of, but this story is all my imagination. :-)
This series is awesome iam in book 2.and i love ghost already😊
Aww, he's a fan favorite for sure!
I had these books before but they're disappear from my flash but no I have find them on TH-cam is only three books I am praying for her to upload the other four cuz is is a wonderful series The Great Series this is the second time I'm reading it
Thank you! I will upload the rest, one per month. :-)
I'm hooked❤
That's what I like to hear!
@@KylaStoneAuthor it is very true! I was actually just thinking about the stove, I think it was the principal was making with the flower pots in the candle... I'm not a prepper... But just in case! And thank you so much for not putting zombies in this book 🙂
Ouck have to wait for the end to the story..hiw many hours 😢
I'm releasing book three today or tomorrow, then a new release every 3-4 weeks. :-)
