The Pullback: Fortress Farm - the Beginning G R Carter

Publisher Marketing: The Pullback is the original Fortress Farm story, now professionally edited and updated with new content. The Solar Storms start slowly at first, a mere nuisance to modern society that enjoys electronic conveniences. But trouble is on the horizon, and world economies that once seemed invincible are beginning to feel the consequences of greed and neglect. America tries one last time to save herself, and turns to the Artificial Intelligence system known as GRAPEVINE to combat the interference of nature. But GRAPEVINE has her own ideas about what's best for the planet. The technology meant to save civilization forsakes billions of people. New cults and strongmen establish power while outlaws pillage. Just as humans have done for millennia, heroes and villains arise from the ashes of a great empire, struggling for the fate of those hanging on after the world's Great Reset. Their decisions will have ramifications resonating for generations. Can a determined group of small town farmers use their mechanical ingenuity to build a new country and spread the message of self-reliance and self-defense in time to keep hope alive? Join us on the first step in the journey of families facing the new Dark Ages. Contributor Bio:  Carter, G R G. R.
