The rule of three - Eric Walters

One shocking afternoon, computers around the globe shut down in a viral catastrophe.

At sixteen-year-old Adam Daley's high school, the problem first seems to be a typical electrical outage, until students discover that cell phones are down, municipal utilities are failing, and a few computer-free cars like Adam's are the only vehicles that function.

Driving home, Adam encounters a storm tide of anger and fear as the region becomes paralyzed.

Soon--as resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descends--he will see his suburban neighborhood band together for protection.

And Adam will understand that having a police captain for a mother and a retired government spy living next door are not just the facts of his life but the keys to his survival, in The Rule of Three by Eric Walters.
