Signal Drift: Chapter 11
When brute force meets backwoods genius, miracles happen. In Chapter 11 of Signal Drift, the crew unleashes the Beetle Bomb, braces the tower with scrap steel, and watches Bill weld like a madman fueled by bourbon and solar power. The signal’s coming back online — whether the world’s ready or not.
Signal Drift: Chapter 10
Bill’s back. The Beetle Bomb is real. The transmitter site might just have power. Chapter 10 of Signal Drift kicks off a new phase in the story with hidden stashes, solar surprises, and 2,000 bottle rockets lighting up the sky. Oh—and there’s a whole room full of hand-crank radios waiting for a reason to be used.

Signal Drift: Chapter 8
Cronauer has been walking for days, sleeping in abandoned sheds and listening to static on the radio — until a clipped, coded broadcast near Richland Center sparks something familiar. The Viroqua repeater is offline, and it sounds like Norm’s voice behind the warning. Now, with the rain returning and Viroqua on the horizon, he pushes forward — hoping he’s not too late.
