Crude J. L. Davis

Lock the doors and board up the windows. The power grids are down, food is gone, communications are reduced to short range transmission, and the only sound on the radio is a killer's heavy breathing.
After a catastrophic incident leaves the global fuel supply in dire straights, Eddie Slate, a smooth talking car salesman at the top of his game, finds himself spiraling into an apocalyptic world where the only rule for survival is a loaded gun and self-preservation. With the gas pumps spitting air, law enforcement failing and the economy in the throes of collapse, he won't be getting espresso from Starbucks or gassing up the car. Alone, frightened and barricaded in the house, Eddie spends the empty hours on a hand radio searching for a friendly voice. Nobody ever answers, at least not until a mysterious drifter starts transmitting and takes a dark step into his life. The time is now. The place: your hometown. See what happens to Eddie Slate the day the oil runs out.
