Cronauer thought he was just keeping the signal alive — but what he really found was the last thread of humanity.
When the grid went dark and the bombs silenced the coasts, Cronauer fled west with nothing but his training, his gear, and a stubborn refusal to disappear.
After the collapse of the coasts, Cronauer rebuilds in the heart of the Midwest — with a transmitter, a weapon, and a whisper into the dark.
In the silence that followed the collapse, one voice kept transmitting. Chapter 1 of Signal Drift sets the stage for a world where radio is more than nostalgia — it’s survival. Cronauer heads west with a rifle, a pack, and the fading hope that someone’s still listening.
