Description
Forty passengers and crew stranded in the middle of Missouri after a train wreck due to the collapse of a trestle over a deep ravine must survive long enough to be rescued. Computer analysts Mimi, Eddie and Josh, Josh’s girlfriend Abby, retired British doctor Reginald Wainwright, New York lawyer Vivien Chang, train attendant Marlene Roberts, four children and the others settle in at a derelict motel after the wary people from a nearby town suggest it, but will their stay be temporary? With communication and electricity lost, how will they survive? What if, instead of a pandemic, we had a worldwide disruption of the power grid? We lost the ability to communicate due to failure of the satellites and cell towers that transmit our messages? Transportation was disrupted due to collapse of all the bridges? How would the world cope?
