										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where will YOU go when the SHTF?</p>
<p>Government rampant spending is out of control creating blooming deficits as the government gorges itself on debt. An enigmatic hedge fund manager, Mitch Fleming, purchases a government funded research facility boondoggle located on 36 square miles in the Idaho National Forest for the value of the timber. Mitch’s new partner, Duncan McFarlane, has a vision to create a prepper paradise and self-contained society within the forest of Idaho called The Retreat. How can their society and preparedness possibly survive the impending economic collapse of America and the ensuing violence as foreign governments come to collect on their outstanding debts?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States is assailed by a deadly pandemic leaving millions of dead in its wake. In a desperate move, the President authorizes the early use of a vaccine to inoculate the military against the insidious, rapidly-spreading virus. A dedicated group of preppers and survivalists retreat into a self-contained bug out location in rural Idaho to seal themselves away from the outside environment. Two years later, the group must emerge from their refuge to garner life-sustaining supplies from the devastated apocalyptic world and the horrors that now abide within.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>America. The once great powerful nation has been forced to its knees and its people struggle to survive in a world after an EMP event has rendered electricity and technology useless. The harsh grip of winter approaches, threatening to extinguish the budding embers of salvation under its brutal heel while vicious warlords and despots enslave entire populations.</p>
<p>James Robertson, a self-professed prepper, and his fellow Governors attempt to organize Washington State against the onslaught of mayhem. The group’s limited success is dwarfed by the magnitude of tasks yet to complete in rebuilding a functioning society with liberty, freedom and the rule of law. America, like the mythical Phoenix, tries to rise from the ashes of destruction and shine like a beacon of light in a world filled with darkness.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when the lights go out and might never shine again? In America: The Eagle has Fallen, the United States has been attacked with an EMP device that destroys the electrical grid and renders all electronic devices unusable. America spirals into anarchy as society collapses without access to life sustaining resources, while gun barrel diplomacy becomes the only law of the land in the new Wild West. Follow James Robertson, a self-professed prepper, as he and his new extended family struggle to secure their homestead in Western Washington and rebuild a community and state in a post-apocalyptic world. Experts have suggested that 92% of the population will perish in a complete grid down scenario while James and his new allies attempt to prove them all wrong. Can the rule of law and common decency be restored faster than the hungry and despotic can tear it asunder?</p>
