Summer, in besieged New Hampshire, is a busy time. In this sixth book in the Siege series, people in the southern tier are working their ad hoc farms but are facing a firewood shortage for the coming winter. People in the north country have abundant wood but little farm-able land.

Do ordinary people have what it takes to survive in a grid-down world? Do you? When the power mysteriously goes out across the country, society does not instantly break down. Transportation does. Most people simply wait for things to get better. Martin thinks trouble is coming. His plan B is to walk the 50 miles from Boston to his home in New Hampshire. His plan B must be revised, however. He did not plan on meeting Susan.

The continuing story of the people of Cheshire, New Hampshire. Martin made it home after the outage (book one) but he still has to cope with a grid-down world, the resulting economic collapse, and governmental intrusion. Government agencies (FEMA, etc.,) offer aid, but demand total control in return. NH refuses to comply. For this, the authorities block aid to NH (a siege of sorts) in an attempt to force compliance. With no aid coming from outside, the people of Cheshire work to secure alternate food sources from what's available.

When the power mysteriously goes out across the country, Martin‘s Plan B is to walk the 50 miles from Boston to his home in New Hampshire. His plan B must be revised to include Susan: a woman he only knew as a teller in his bank. They make it to his home in New Hampshire but they still have to adapt to a grid-down world. This podcast is a reading of Mic Roland‘s Siege of New Hampshire series. Available at http://mic-roland.com

After surviving the collapse, rebuilding becomes a race against time. The people of New Hampshire have only this one growing season to prepare for the next grid-down winter. Trouble and challenges line the road on way to rebuilding their society, economy, and their lives.

Audiobook three continues the story of the people of the small town of Cheshire as the grid-down crisis persists into a New England winter. Dissent and division grow among the people of New Hampshire as they endure greater grid-down hardship. A few food sources are found, but the prospects of everyone surviving the winter are getting slim.

Several months into a grid-down collapse, America has split into two conflicting nations as people and officials try to cope. Susan left Cheshire to help Operation Longbow sneak food through the federal siege of New Hampshire. Nothing goes as expected. Events push her far beyond what she thought her limits were.
