The Prodigals – A Journey Home in the Dark by Milton Cantellay

Carl Raydon knew it was coming. The disaster was only a matter of time.

The Raydons are a close-knit family whose father foresaw the inevitable and prepared them for it.

Nuclear missiles have exploded over the West Coast, East Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting EMP has knocked out power to 80% of the US. Was it North Korea, Iran, or maybe China? The enemy is uncertain. The American military is still intact. The civilian infrastructure that it depends on vanished in an instant. The government is scrambling to secure the nation and prevent the next attack, but society is disintegrating.

The Raydons are living and raising their own families in different parts of Washington State, but once they realize what has happened, and their father’s fears have become reality, each family heads for the ranch in the remote Republic, Washington. It’s a struggle to get there against those that would take advantage of the chaos and, once there, a struggle to keep it.

The Prodigals Series is the epic tale of family loyalty, struggle, survival, and hope. In the end, their faith in each other and in God sustains them as they come to understand that the only safe place is in their father’s house.
