Reset

After the Pulse, Book 1

By: Mark Tufo

Narrated by: Vikas Adam

In a world reduced to ruins, survival demands more than just strength—it demands transformation.

When a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes Earth, modern life ends in an instant. Power grids fail. Communication collapses. Transportation halts. Within hours, the world descends into chaos—and the fragile threads of civilization begin to snap. What follows is a rapid descent into apocalyptic turmoil as society unravels and survival becomes a daily battle.

When the world falls apart, it's not the heroes who rise—it's the unexpected. Marty, a recovering addict, finds purpose in the remnants of a crumbling military, discovering what it truly means to fight—not just for survival, but for redemption. Benny and Becky, inseparable pre-teens suddenly orphaned, must navigate a brutal new reality where trust is scarce and innocence is a liability. And Al, facing a terminal diagnosis, embarks on one final journey—teaming up with Sophie, a young woman desperate to reunite with the family she’s lost.

Each must draw on hidden strengths and confront impossible choices as they face a world that offers no guarantees—only the hope that somewhere in the wreckage, humanity still endures.

Deprived of the technology we depend on daily; the elements of civilization will collapse like dominoes giving rise to a brutal, desperate landscape where people will be forced to make impossible choices. Together, they face a landscape stripped of mercy, where technology is useless, morality is tested, and the fight to stay human may be the hardest challenge of all.

Reset is a raw, riveting journey of resilience, unlikely bonds, and what endures when everything else falls away. From the author of Zombie Fallout and Indian Hill, Reset is a gripping tale of human resilience and connection in a darkly unrecognizable and unforgiving new world!

Tufo does it again!!

Once again, Mark Tufo proves why he is, to so many, their favorite author. Just when you think a story is going one way he makes a left turn at Albuquerque improves. Nothing is what it seems. Well done Mr. Tufo. Well done.

The person voice of the story

Narrator of zombie, fallout devil‘s desk. I enjoyed his voice the person who is narrating this audiobook the way BT talk the way Michael Talbot and his wife talked just used to the other narrator for the other stories.. to me the way Michael and his wife talk I just lost enthusiasm for the story is very good and I will get booked too, and I will finish the whole series out but I like the other person who did the other stories the way he sounds

Nobody saw THAT coming!

Mark Tofu is the best and I absolutely LOVE the unexpected character twists and unforeseen abilities folks develop in all his books. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Great Twists

Wow! The amazing Mark Tufo does it again! From humor to gore to creepy to compassion to physics to out of this world. He's a creative writer that will string you along on one entertaining ride (genre), then tweak his pen and you'll find you've jumped tracks to another ride swinging in different direction. Outstanding. I'm excited ride this new series wherever he takes us.

Home Run

This was an awesome book. Knowing I have read most of the books by the author and his genre of post apocalyptic zombies. This is a very big departure for the author and hit it out the park. I can’t wait for the next installment.
