Riddle, author of Winter World In the dead of winter, an EMP terrorist attack destroys the U.S. power grid. No electricity. No cars or phones. And no way to call for help. The country is plunged into instant chaos. But for Hannah Sheridan, it's the best day of her life. For the last five years, she's been the captive of a sadistic psychopath—until the electromagnetic pulse releases the lock of her prison. Battered but not broken, she emerges from her underground cell into a hostile winter wilderness with nothing but the clothes on her back and the determination to survive. Reclusive Spec Ops soldier Liam Coleman is headed nowhere fast. He believed he was prepared for any disaster until the EMP took everything he cared about in a matter of seconds. Two hundred frozen, perilous miles stand between them and their destination in rural Michigan. But the killing cold and desperate survivors aren't the only threats, for Hannah's captor isn't about to let her go... 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. Kyla Stone is the USA Today bestselling author of more than 25 novels with over two million copies sold worldwide in several languages. Edge of Collapse is the pulse-pounding first book in the acclaimed apocalyptic survival series optioned by Sony Television Pictures for television. Perfect for fans of SILO, The Last of Us, The Stand, and Station Eleven . "Well-paced throughout…a page-turner that tackles its genre in compelling ways.” - Kirkus Reviews "One of the best apocalyptic series of the year. Unputdownable!" -Bookriot.com *This is the first book in a series. Rated PG-13 for mild language and moderate violence* Praise for Edge of Collapse : "I started reading an EMP Apocalypse book and came out with so much more than I ever could have imagined! I'm pretty sure I read the majority of this book with my mouth hanging open in shock. Five stars!" -desertcart reviewer " Intense and spellbinding , and you won't want to put it down except to catch your breath!" -desertcart reviewer "This one kept me on the edge of my seat, up past my bedtime with nonstop tension. I love post-apocalyptic fiction, and Kyla Stone is one of the best in this genre. " -desertcart reviewer "I woke up at midnight to read this book when it released. Kyla, you have once again outdone yourself with this series which is like non other I've read!" -desertcart reviewer " Wow! What a story! A nail-biting apocalyptic end of the world scenario. Five stars!" -desertcart reviewer "What an action-packed and emotional story. I can't wait to see what happens next."-desertcart reviewer "I am an avid post-apocalyptic reader, but this book combines that genre with a suspense/thriller component and is a step above the usual Post Apocalypse fiction. Five stars!" -desertcart reviewer " A thrilling read from start to finish! " -desertcart reviewer Review: unputdownable - This book had me hooked right out of the starting gate. Kyla Stone creates believable characters that you love and hate. A story of uncertainty and fear you feel. It is a story within a story about difficult decisions, relationships, determination, and survival that made it feel real. Her tension building had me saying , just one more chapter. If you like thriller, suspense and post apocalyptic stories I highly recommend it. Review: A quick but tension-filled, satisfying EMP read - I'd almost rate this 4.5 stars I enjoyed it that much. I found the story really entertaining and it moved at a good pace. I haven't read anything quite like this before which is probably why it took me by surprise and had me enjoying the ride. While I love apocalyptic reads, I've never read one post-EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse for those not in the know... Which was totally me yesterday lol). The pulse comes from unknown origins but knocks out all electronic devices in what seems to be the most of the U.S.A. As a result, the country is thrown into chaos. I didn't know a lot about this book going in and I think that amped up my enjoyment of the story. If you want to go in blind, too, maybe skip this next bit. When the EMP hits, Hannah escapes the prison she's been kept in for 5 years. She's on the verge of probable death due to the biting cold when she crosses the path of Liam, a former special forces soldier with his own demons. Without spoiling too much, they forge on together as Hannah is desperate to be united with her husband and son in their small town she was taken from. The major problem (I mean, apart from the bitter snow, the EMP and the world going berserk)? They're being hunted by her former captor and Hannah is pregnant. While I probably would have liked a bit more detail on Hannah's captivity, I loved how the author didn't gloss over her PTSD. I thought it was handled well, especially since it was a shorter read. For lovers of romance such as myself, there's none to be found here so far, but it honestly didn't bother me because the story drew me in so much. I'm also going to assume there's a bit more of this further on in the series. Hannah and Liam were both solid characters. The story was told from both of their points of view as well as several chapters from their stalker. I'm not gonna lie, I loved this and thought it added extra depth to the story. The story is set out in days. I thought the week or so was a bit of a short time frame for the world to descend into such madness. I mean, I get it, but it seemed to jump to extremes a bit quickly for the purpose of adding drama. That's a minor thing, however, as I found the story line great and the writing solid. As I said above, it was a quick read but it sure packed a punch. There was a lot of well-executed tension, suspense and drama which is why I finished it in a day or so. Obviously due to the background of the female lead, there's elements of abuse, torture and forced captivity touched on for anyone with triggers. The antagonist is ruthless and brutal, causing a few ickier moments that helped ramp things up a bit. You get a few snippets of the main characters' past but there are plenty of gaps that I assume continue to be filled in in later books. As this is a series, there's only temporary closure with Hannah and Liam's story being far from over. I'll definitely be continuing with this series in the future. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,125 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Technothrillers (Books) #46 in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction (Books) #63 in Thriller & Suspense Action Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 34,079 Reviews | ## Images ![Edge of Collapse: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zGXrGA2uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ unputdownable *by A***A on October 12, 2026* This book had me hooked right out of the starting gate.
