When the lights go out... the lies begin.

A sudden nationwide blackout plunges America into chaos. Planes fall from the sky. Hospitals go dark. Cities grind to a halt. And for civil engineer Jake Bendel, it is only the beginning.

What looks like a catastrophic infrastructure failure quickly reveals something far more sinister: a coordinated attack powered by advanced drone technology and a level of precision no one thought possible. As the government scrambles to contain the crisis, Jake uncovers a terrifying truth.

This was not an accident. It was a test.

Now the system is coming back online, and the next strike will be far deadlier. Hunted by powerful forces and racing against a ticking clock, Jake is pulled into a deadly conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. With millions of lives at stake, he must uncover who is behind the attack and stop them before the lights go out for good.

Book three of the Jake Bendel Thrillers, published by Jaytech Publishing on October 6, 2026.
