Reading order

EMP Survival in a Powerless World is a 132-book survival thriller series by Robert J. Walker, beginning with Broken Lines in 2014 and running continuously through 2026. The series follows various characters across the United States as they navigate life after an electromagnetic pulse has destroyed the electrical grid, leaving no power, no communications, and no functioning infrastructure.

Each book places characters in specific American settings, from urban environments to rural homesteads, cabins, and small towns, all dealing with the same core problem of survival without modern technology. The series covers a wide range of scenarios including protecting homesteads, finding shelter, managing scarce resources, and dealing with dangerous individuals in the absence of law enforcement.

At 132 books, the series is among the longest-running in its genre. Walker publishes new entries regularly, and the series has maintained consistent reader interest since 2014. Readers who enjoy prepper fiction, post-apocalyptic scenarios, or survival-focused thrillers will find EMP Survival in a Powerless World one of the most extensive series available in the subgenre.
